So I sent an email to him with a few rows about his comments on how bad 3dmarks is as a benchmark. I happened to include these line:
"For us developers, synthetic benchmarks like 3dmarks with individual tests for various features is the only tool that gives us the information we
need. Quake3 score doesn't tell me anything about what to expect when I get to target this hardware with my own code. 3dmarks shader performance on the other hand is a good start."
Response? Questioning that I'm a developer. Asking me to read up about how "It was ATi who refused to PAY to be part of their benchmark program."
My response, asking him to read up since it's nVidia who dropped out of the beta program, not ATI. Defending my status as a developer citing that I've worked for ATI, sent link to my site etc.
Response? Since my work term at ATI was less than 90 days I'm not a developers
??) and dreams up some theories that probably was fired because of incompetence. Updates his newspost with link to the editorial about 3dmarks.
My response, quoting the word developer from a dictionary and filled up with some additional info about my work ATi.
Reply, "suuuuuure, good for you. bye."
My reply, "Getting silly are we?"
* Getting quite amused at this point *
Response: Obviously quite annoyed trying to end discussion.
My response: Making some fun of him
LOL, it was kinda funny all this, but sad at the other hand how people running websites with thousands of visitors can get so low.
