Why is Tom such a hypocrite?

I am just disgusted at Tom’s statement of veiled sadness over the U. S. tragedy of this week. Check the last article he wrote about the so-called “independence” of America. Over the last year his company has illegally terminated almost all of the United States staff. What an a z z h o l e ! This man is a snakelike being. He sheds accusations like a second skin. He leaves his problems to others and hides behind a veil of secrecy. Everyone in the technical industry knows him for what he is, and they all laugh at him. He has illegally terminated more American employees than a whore uses condemns, but in his case unlike the whore’s, he lies about it, hiding behind his puppet Herman Eiden.

Let me introduce myself. I was a member of THF when it was on Delphi. When Tom pulled the plug on that (because he wasn't getting PAID) the members of that forum created Extreme Computing and we now have changed our name to "the lab".

I read Tom's article about the attack and it really made me mad. He was moaning that some hardware sites were posting news about the WTC attack. He said that he thought it was inappropriate. He is wrong. I read those sites. They are showing a genuine respect for their country. Tom turned his article into what Tom does best. He turned it about himself and his site. He is a hypocrite and he hasn't turned in a good article or review in years.

ughh!!

Leave a real <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=faq" target="_new">link</A>

do you have a specific retort other than ugghh?

We at the lab laugh at THF and it's forum. You may be an "old hand" here but you're a newbie in ours.

Oh yeah??? Well, you may be a "best friend" in your forum, but you're a "stranger" in ours, so there!
What the hell is your point?


But I agree, Tom shouldn't have made the comment about computer sites becoming news sites. When CNN.com was down, I was very very happy for HardOCP's coverage and pictures. I thought they did a great job.

I absolutly agree. Tom has no right commenting on what "other" hardware sites post about this horrid situation. The [H]ardOCP are a very reputable site, and always stands its ground on all issues. Tom has demonstrated in the past that he is an egotistical bastard, so it doesn't surprise me that he responded the way he did. Who gives a sh*t what this "doctor(LOL)" has to say. He has no credibility in the hardware scene anyhow, so any opinions that he may throw up are worthless anyhow. Next time Dr. Tom think before posting garbage like that. Oh yeah, and YES some people did not have access to TV or Radio, and looked to the internet for news on the WTC tragedy, so the [H]ardOCP were in the right to post what they did. Stop being a money hungry egotisical whore, and start being a human being!

Hmmm... all of these rantings are from strangers.... could be different people but who knows....

Nice <b><font color=green>Lizards</b></font color=green> <b>crunch</b> Trolls cookies....... Yummy!!

Exactly my point.

Nice <b><font color=green>Lizards</b></font color=green> <b>crunch</b> Trolls cookies....... Yummy!!

get your facts straight. Tom is the one blasting other sites for even covering the WTC disaster. He is the one throwing mud at sights like HardOCP. He got called on it.

"I haven't heard of your site before, but I am determined not to visit your site now, because you would try to turn such a tragic event into a mud slinging contest. "

That's fine. I doubt we would want you anyway. If you did come, you would be allowed to post anything you wanted. You would not be censored for any reason. You would not be banned nor would your posts be edited. We ARE the original "tom's hardware forum". He left us behind for the almighty $ and we stayed to make a new forum. If you don't think that Tom was showing his "ego" or being unrespectful to HardOCP then you are exactly where you need to be. For the people that aren't tom's sheep, the lab is the only place to be.

get over it. if you had a site worth running and had a chance to make money on it you would to. and the only "censorship" here is too keep the board clean for those who are offended by some language.

RRRRRRRUUUUUUUUT-NNNNNNIIIIIIK!

or what? you going to ban me? gag me? That's exactly the type of response I would expect from Nazi Tom and his henchmen.

You shouldn't use words you don't understand the meaning of. Your knock on Tom calling him a Nazi was a major faux pas. It was totally inappropriate and downright childish.

While other sites posted 4 or 5 updates just to cover the terrible news, I watched as Kyle from Hard to Fathom OCP, posted rumor upon rumor, most wrong I might add, and I got sick. Do you think his "best buddy" in the Airborne really appreciated him telling the entire web of their plans to be mobilized? Or the one about 11 planes being hijacked from his "NATO source"....to frickin' much.

HardOCP even put little [H]s in the lower corner of the pictures. Right there we should all know they didn't do it just to "inform the people".

I have had problems with some of Tom's views in the past just like I have had with many other outspoken people with actual opinions. However, in this situation, I must back Tom up 100% on his comments.

I wish such people would learn their lesson but I know they are nothing but money hungry, cause jumping, advantage takers who will survive along side the other bugs long after those of us with true honor and integrity are passed. This may be a sorry state but they will get theirs... in this life or the next.

ahh... and people bang on me for being a "stranger". The great thing about my ID is that it is over a year old. Should I feel "scolded" by someone who is using an ID that was made today? Tom is that you or one of your henchmen?

Your last paragraph is pretty funny. It pretty much decribes Tom.

Hard OCP was putting out info that wasn't any worse that ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC. When things first happened, the media was putting out everything and anything.

HardOCP shut down on friday in respect to the US day of national mourning. It was business as usual at THF.

BTW, I know what a Nazi is. Tom doesn't have the planet cornered on being German.

Yeah - you tell him dude! We don't need any more sh!t around here anyways.

<Common Sense is a gift that some of us have returned.>
<font color=blue>Change the sig of the week</font color=blue>

And why should they shut down? Tom isn't American, he has no need to be involved in our day of prayer.

I'm glad it was business as usual. Not everyone had the luxury of taking the day off. I would've loved to have been able to go to the prayer meeting at my church with the rest of my family, but I couldn't. Since I was at work, it was nice reading an article, spending some time at the forums. Since I couldn't do anything constructive (in regard to Tuesday's events), it was nice to take my mind off it all.

Question?

Are you referring to this article? <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/blurb/01q3/010913/index.html" target="_new">http://www6.tomshardware.com/blurb/01q3/010913/index.html</A>

I do not see how this article can generate so much animosity. It's just his opinion.

THF on delphi also wasn't COSTING Tom ANY money to run. You don't seem to understand the size of the forum that he dropped like a hot rock. The lab (formerly known as THF) is the 2nd largest computer forum on delphi. Tom dropped us and we stayed behind. You might have an arguement that he has a "right" to make money but in our opinion he is a sellout and hasn't written anything stellar in years.

"Who do
you think looks the least professional here Rutnik?"

Tom. He is a sellout.

BTW, the former THF still has more posts/day that his current one.

apparently you have never figured out how to stop a "flamer." The key is to not even respond.

BTW, how far exactly are you crammed up Tom's butt? Do you have just a little on your nose or are you all the way up it?

You're the one with your head stuck up there not me.

I guess you didn't learn how to stop a "flamer".

*yawn* You're the one with umm...tom's love batter on you.

Two simple words
PISS OFF

I rolled a silk reefer plant, lit it and now I have no body hair from the neck up!
