An annoying point about [H]

I dunno, that's kind of what makes 'em fun too. 
Think of it this way; if there was no [H] all their members might be a member of a forum YOU post at!

You fail to understand the nature of all that is [H]ard.
Since for most of its life, Infinium Labs has been defined more on weasely-worded press releases and nonexistent hardware/plans/actual addresses, and FutureMark's stand against the depredations of extensive optimizations on the part of various driver sets was for an extended period of time characterized as pathetic/flaccid/well paid for, these entities of empty words are now forever in [H]indsight relegated to the category of ~s~oft.
As we all know, [H]ard is diametrically opposed to ~s~oft. We could no more expect them to not have an axe to grind than we could expect the hawk to cease preying upon the unsuspecting vole, or some similar metaphor of the natural world that you would prefer.
In all seriousness, the proprietor of Hardocp appears to be person with strong opinions, and I guess it is inevitable that he would harp on those things that go against his likes, probably to degrees that a large number of people wouldn't go to. And Infinium is suing him, so I guess that's also not helping the editorial position.
Actually [H]'s stand against Infinium is something I count as a plus for 'em. 8)

Maybe you're right, it's all becoming a blur to me. It probably lends more credence to the strongly (rational or not, I'm not in the position to say) held opinions position.
No, check the dates. This thread was posted well before Kyle posted up his D3 scoop.Saem said:
The subject comes up from time to time for various reasons and with varying results, it's just a Kyle-thang.
Well, people either love Kyle, or they hate him. After dealing quite a bit with Kyle, I found that he is a genuinely honest person, and if you don't screw around with him, he won't screw around with you. I think it is actually refreshing to have a site that takes a deliberate stand on some issues, and you can always be assured that HardOCP will call it as they see it (though sometimes they may not see things properly, but they usually rectify this if they find they are wrong).
I have a lot of respect for Kyle, and though I may not always agree with him, I do appreciate where he comes from. If you go up to him and ask him questions in a professional manner, he will treat you the same way. If you go up to him and say, "Hey you SOB, why the hell are you saying this horses**t.", he is going to respond to you in kind.
If I did a story on Infinium Labs that was as in depth as his, and they came around and sued me, I would act in the same manner. I think all of us would.
