Mattman -- Nothing with Raven is informational.
Everything become this big, protracted attempt to use words to bend everyone to his vision of the world, where he is a Christ-figure.
Thread should be locked?
Probably. But, how many of Raven's flames have been allowed to burn until the trees were all gone?
Raven is impervious to reason (who the hell says Coke Soda would not be a TM infringement on Coca-Cola?!).
Eventually, when you tire of his trolling, and his strange attempts to just keeping saying something while click his heels three times, you decide to post something to get him back.
Why?
Because it is hilarious; screwing with Raven is cheaper than a movie.
Because he has some mental disorder that prevents him from seeing other people's views; go back and look at the Amiga IDE HD post, cause that's the classic.
Because he is a self-supported vain-glorious poser who has an MSN e-mail, an AOL account, and a Lycos website; yet he thinks we should all take him seriously as this industry insider, sight unseen of 99% of his work while he struggles to assemble a company of one man.
But mostly because it is funny when a guy who can't even do Javascript -- see his amazing post where he demonstrates that he has never seen the old-school work-around for when JavaScript void() kills your navigation -- makes outlandish statements that he is going to rain hellfire, brimstone, juicy frogs, and rolled-up newspapers on his enemies if they don't stop antagonizing him.
Rvan is so full of his own BS that he won't acknowledge reality until he is served with a summons from nVidia and Raven Software.
We can't stop here! This is bat country!
