The best way to defend yourself is by presenting the truth, and you keep skating past the truth. In fact, you skated past the truth with your initial post, where you chose a CNBC article which FAILED to present the whole story, and that’s a well-known tactic of liberals, especially the liberal networks. If you wish to present a factual piece of “news”, then, do a little bit of research before “picking” or “choosing” from a selection of one. YOUR choice did not present all the facts or the whole story.

LOOK, Asshat, you started this. You did not even bother to READ the CNBC article, did you? It's obvious you did not even BOTHER to READ post #1 in this thread or you would NOT BE BLAMING ME FOR THE SELECTION OF THIS ARTICLE, YOU IDIOT!

I gave credit to SunkenCiv for the heads up. . . but no, you can't be bothered to get the facts before you go off HALF COCKED and attack me for something that is not there.

I repeat, since you have still failed to grasp the concept:

I did not write the CNBC article!

Get that through your apparently extremely THICK SKULL! You seem to think I did.

Now, you are not even bothering to read what I post before continuing your attacks. YOU just like a fight. GO AWAY and grind your axe somewhere else. . . Or be civil in your posts instead of an unrepentant asshat.

This is the way you ALWAYS present yourself in tech threads when you address me. Try being polite instead of insulting.

I merely posted the article and THAT HAS OFFENDED YOU. Which, I think, you did not even bother to read since you are still operating under the misconception CNBC did not mention that partnership, even though it is NOT the important thrust of the topic.

How does that make you different from the Antifa rioters who don't want ANYTHING opinions which differs from their thoughts???? But you are apparently impervious to FACTS, just like those black clad, masked Antifa rioters.

I made a single comment that it was going to be INTERESTING. . . and YOU WENT INTO IRRATIONAL ATTACK MODE ON ME AS IF SOMETHING I SAID WAS REPREHENSIBLE!

Tell us, do you wear black clothing, a backpack, and a mask on FR when you are posting?

I have been reasonable in every one of my posts in this thread. YOU are the one who sees conspiracy in something that is not there. YOU are the one making accusations.

You are the one is reprehensible here, not me. And yet you CONTINUE in this idiotic attacking, insulting, and denigrating mode and expect me to respond differently to you. That is the very definition of insanity.

Stop the stupid insults.

CUT IT OUT. GIVE IT A REST ALREADY!

You know, for a grumpy old great-great grandad, you sure are spunky. ;)

BTW, I didn’t say you wrote the CNBC article. But, you decide to quote from the CNBC article. Get the difference? Nope! Guilty either way. It’s like saying you’re not a liberal nutjob, but you like what the liberal nutjob says.

And, hey, don’t take it so personally. Everyone makes mistakes, especially after getting so up there in years.

And, why do you think I’m calling you stupid? I don’t remember making “stupid insults”. So, stop being so defensive. Like I said, everyone makes mistakes. But, stop making so many of them. ?
