--- Quote from: shmokes on October 17, 2008, 04:01:38 pm ---So, at best, the presumption of unreliability created by your conflict of interest shifts the burden of proof to you to prove that you do not allow the opinions you express to be affected by your financial interest in your products. Realistically, though, the presumption simply has to stand because that's a burden you couldn't possibly carry. --- End quote --- And that's where you are wrong. That's why I said that you only need to look here for evidence to the contrary. Once again, you are taking some very specific examples and attempting to use them as a broad brush. If you presumed someone was guilty of something and had no evidence to support it, and went before a judge with a presumption as weak as the one you are trying to attach to me, then you would be laughed out of the room. And deep down, regardless of all of your verbal thrusting and parrying, you know it. By your logic, no-one should ever believe a word you say. This is a forum you spend a lot of time on and have been part of for years. Yet you seem to have less interest in arcade controls than getting into mindless, combative arguments, having not built a panel for yourself (unless having done so only very recently) and have seemingly gleaned little information for your time here. With most of your arguments degenerating into loosely applied legalese, which is a direct result of your current studies. Therefore, one could quite easily presume that you only frequent here for the "practice" in making your legal cases, and that you argue solely for the sake of argument, rather than to present good information to your readers. But I know that it isn't entirely true, because of your history here. Now feel free to offer me the same consideration :) BTW, I'm flattered that you thought to compare me to the CEO of T-mobil. :cheers: --- Quote from: isucamper on October 17, 2008, 04:12:46 pm --- --- Quote from: RandyT on October 17, 2008, 02:53:28 pm ---And FWIW, I just dropped ~5K, in this economy no less, to have a run of a very special retro item produced that maybe only a handful of folks will be interested in, while I continue to drive an 8-year old vehicle. --- End quote --- Please let this be a run of 25 inch vector monitors. --- End quote --- I'm afraid that would be a very short run. My pockets aren't deep enough to bring those back to life, unfortunately. I don't want to give away too much, but there have been a few attempts to make these parts in the past, some with more success than others, but none as comprehensive as this. You will be able to consider these "Old New Stock". ;) RandyT |

Ugh . . . this legal metaphor is getting out of control. Randy, you aren't being charged with a crime. You don't get a presumption of innocence. Your conflict of interest gives what you say a presumption of ulterior motive. The point is only that a presumption means a starting point. If you presume something you treat that fact as established unless proven otherwise. You don't need additional evidence to prove a presumption because by definition you presume that it's true. We presume that the sun will come up tomorrow. If someone says that it won't, people continue to hold the presumption that it will unless provided with convincing evidence to the contrary. That's what a presumption is. BTW, I've built three panels. |

Seriously . . . don't be absurd. The evidence is that you have a financial stake in what people think of your products. Approaching retailers in any other way is naive, and you know you do exactly the same thing in your own life. I don't have anything against the CEO of T-mobile and I can't imagine he'd take what I said in this thread personally. It's just common sense. Why do you suppose critics exist? Why do you suppose there is even a market for something like RetroBlast? Gimme a break. Get over yourself. |
