Yes, he has said that he doesn't want the bad customers (the ones who complain). He only wants the good ones that are willing to wait a year silently. If anymore of you have anything bad to say about BFL, why not give him his wish and get a refund while you still can? It's obvious they will not ship before the difficulty jumps due to Avalon and ASICMiner. So what are you waiting for? All Sally wants is what he has coming to him.

Topic: Feel like defending BFL now? - page 2. (Read 12122 times)
They're even forcing people into involuntary refunds for badmouthing them now!
Oh, yes, of course. The title "Feel like defending BFL now?" is certainly courteous and rational. Silly me.
Oh wait... not it was rhetoric of an idiot wanting to trumpet some imagined transgression by BFL and shouting it as loudly as he knew how and making it as dramatic as possible.
Let me fix your reality filter by showing you how to post a courteous thread with the same information, so you know where you went wrong in trying to show me where I went wrong:
Title: Any idea why there's a huge spike in Kansas City for bitcoin mining?
Content: Hey, does anyone know why there's a huge spike in the middle of Kansas where BFL is located for bitcoin mining?
That's how you do rational, courteous threads. You do not write "Feel like defending BFL now?" as the title and just post pictures as the content, like you are some retarded super sleuth who's uncovered a nefarious plot to overthrow the government that only exists in their mind. That just makes you an idiot and an asshole, which is why he got the response he got.

You know, I posted in your own forums a request to make a statement about the many, many accusations against BFL. The petitions, the fact your CEO is a convicted mail fraudster, the general community consensus that BFL either has no idea what they are doing or simply doesn't care.
You still have not.
Instead you call your customers idiots and worse because they dare to question the mountain of evidence supporting these claims. This thread may have jumped the gun a little (however it is a bit suspect), but are the others just as meritless? I don't think so. It's bad enough now there are people here trying to get your companies ads erased from this site.
Your customers no longer trust you or BFL
You are such an astounding and graceful businessman you have your own "fan" page, did you know that?
Does that bother you at all? Care to speak on this rationally or continue being unprofessional and hostile?
I don't think you have the balls to answer for this. Feel free to prove me and the community wrong.
I'll be requesting a refund, I will not support this charade. As a businessman myself I find every aspect of this appalling and unacceptable.
For those of you who don't understand.
Butterfly labs is located at that location.
The giant red bar signifies that they're pulling some
serious hashrate via their ASCIs. They're driving difficulty up
while profiting and while creating the demand for their machines.
Now we see where auto didactic schooling often leads to, a place called fail.Butterfly labs is located at that location.

"For those of you who don't understand", priceless!
There is no way to stop people from posting what they want. But there is a way to win 3rd party observers like myself by not acting like a child and saying "he acted irrationally, so I can too!". You obviously have lost the confidence/trust from the original poster, but you have 1000's of others reading your comments (or more)... and IMO, it seems like a good chunk of them do care how you carry yourself on forums and how you treat customers, even irrational ones.

I wasn't trying to show you that his post ended up rational and wasn't attempting to shout "BFL is screwing you!!"
It wasn't overly dramatic (not as bad as I have seen)... but it did have a purpose. And if the chart were read correctly, and it was a severe spike in hash rate from your particular facility... then, in hindsight, this topic would seem tame. But it obviously was misread.

Ah, but I'm only a dick to people who are dicks first, that's the key point you seem to be missing. If you weren't a cock waffle to start with, you wouldn't get a dick response.
It's what most people like you don't seem to understand. If you approach people with respect and courtesy, you get the same in return. If you approach people with vitriol and raving irrationality, you are likely to get a less than favorable response. You wonder why I treat you like poorly, yet your first post is accusatory and irrational. Imagine that.
WHERES MY STUFF DICK HEAD?!

Tbh I haven't even ordered anything. I was thinking about it around a year ago when I heard the buzz about asic but looking back I'm glad I didn't!
And YES, YOUR STILL A DICK HEAD!
Its just all endless lies and bullshit and I cant belive people are still just sitting back and waiting for their stuff instead of invading Bullshit Labs offices!
Oh well!
So, you're a lying piece of shit. Trying to make it look like you have an order when you don't. Who's the dick head again?
The man in that outrageous headwear above you!
So he's the dick head, and you're the lying piece of shit. Got it.
In order to have that much hashing power, BFL would have to actually PRODUCE something. Did you forget that one important detail?
rofl
They have though! A few super jalapenos given to their friends. And they have enough chips coming to make a dozen more.
If you look real close, you can see it, just popping out from under the hat^^^

His first post was him mistakenly reading a chart and attempting to notify other users of something he thought he had found about a company that a large number of people do not trust right now (and possibly he doesn't trust either, which is why he jumped the gun on judging). An appropriate response from someone who works at such a high position with BFL should have been:
"There is a bitcoin pool located in Kansas City, near our headquarters. This chart also depicts node count, not hash rate. BFL does not conduct any public mining with any of its pre-ordered miners. This has always been the case, and remains so. Please correct your original post. Thank you."
I will re-quote you, so you understand where you went wrong here... at least, in my opinion.
