Well, sometimes he said what I want to say.
Actually I mostly agree with what he said.
Rarely seem him around these days... May be you guys are too hursh on him.

That's the problem. He is a
very intelligent and knowledgable gamer. But unless you agree with him 100%, it is impossible to converse with him and he enjoyed lording his knowledge over others. He was by far, one of the least friendly persons we have had here. And when folks who were just as informed about hardware, filtering, emulation ect. would post something that contradicted what he said, he would absolutely refuse to back down no matter the evidence. He was waaaaay more "harsh" and unyielding than anyone who disliked him.
I'm not proud of the way I lost my temper with him on one occasion, but the forum is better off without his ego. edit: ..... but he definitely seemed to enjoy needling people here (part of the old click-stick and other forums vs. Shmups bias probably)
You oughta see some of the PMs bloodflowers sent me back when mods and admin were trying to decide whether or not to ban him. James tried to politely reason with him endlessly practically begging him to lighten up a bit. The man has no idea of the concept "the art of conversation." He literally told James "I don't care, ban me." Then not too long after that little situation he started harassing folks in another thread so he got what he wanted. End of story. If people want to ask him a question in english they can always go to insertcredit or they can go to his Postback board.
