I just can't let this go. If you think I'm being unfair FEEL FREE to click that little Report icon under my post. I'm not the only one who noticed your tone in this thread, and as a mod it's my duty to try to keep the peace.

If you have further issues with me then email me, but if you keep accusing me of trying to pick a fight with you, then you'd better show some solid proof next time.

I would have given that criticism to anyone on this forum, regardless of who they are, so don't try and make this into a personal thing. I can see on your profile you've already been warned in the past about being easy to anger, but you should channel those feelings into fixing your computer issue.

I had this once, turned out it was spyware, so i downloaded spybot, fixed it and it got rid of it fine, not sure if spybot is free anymore though.

Reformatting isn't necessary the way it used to be with Windows XP. Vista and 7 have really done a great job removing the need to reformat bi-annually.

EDIT: I posted this in reply to the first page. It seems less relevant now. xD

Quoting Green Gandalf:

Ack... toolbars are evil too. I want to go on a murderous rampage every time I get on my computer and another toolbar has mysteriously been added without my consent.

Hahaha... well it mostly only works for Humans.


Quoting Sid Sinister:
Quote: "The person I said it to didn't care, no one else cared, Grog laughed... whatever. I've wasted enough of my life explaining this."


Yeah I thought your statement was funny. I literally laughed out loud but I don't like to use "LOL".

Neither do I - too easily confused with "Lots Of Love".

Jeku, quit hijacking my thread. I'll be the better man and email you your response. You should have taken your own advice though. Maybe you wanted one more public display of your power though?

I reformatted yesterday. Everything is back to normal Case closed.

I had no idea LOL meant "Lots of Love" too... I'm glad I don't use it even more now.

Here I was, letting it go, but you always just have to get the last word in because if *gasp* I reply to you then you can make me look like the bad guy.

@Everyone - Please re-read my posts and you can see that my original post here was justified. Sid Sinister came off as not appreciative of the help he was getting, even going to the point of editing his posts to make them sound "nicer" after I came down on him.

Then now I look like the bad guy, but I'm not going to have him undermine me. Anyways, seeing as the problem was fixed and Sid said this:

Quote: "Everything is back to normal Case closed."


Then I'm going to lock the thread. If anyone wants clarification they can email me. I don't like to be accused of power abuse, because if I respond then half the time I'm accused AGAIN of abusing power by responding. I guess as a mod I'm not supposed to respond to personal attacks?
