You know Raven all too well.
Intel's huge market share suprised me too though. I had no idea that they had 30 something % market share with those crappy integrated graphics chips. Kindof an eye opener really.

The feeling is mutual.

"I, contrary to most of you, usually agree with the things Raven has said."
I'm intensely curious. What exactly is it that you agree with him about?
" It seems he'll say something that even to me sounds outrageous, he'll get slammed on the thread, he'll back it up with proof, then everyone will still slam him-- egging him on, making him write longer and longer responses. Then everyone just laughs at him and says he's a liar, etc. "
Raven NEVER backs anything he says up with proof. You've got Raven confused with someone else here. He's famous for his complete insistence on the vericity of something even after it has been disproven long ago.
Take a look at our recent argument in the karma thread. You won't see a single shread of proof forwarded on his part. Not once. I on the other hand, offered a lot of proof to the contrary. Too much aparently, as Raven has tucked tail and disappeared recently.

"I mean, who hasn't at one time in their life, stretched the truth a little?"
Raven, doesn't just strech the truth. He puts it in a blender and craps in it. And it isn't just once either. He makes up a lot of wild assertions and until you've argued with him or look up on some of the claims that he makes you'll probably not believe me. Hell, before I met Raven I didn't think that it was humanly possible to be so misinformed about anything.
And its not so much that he makes stuff up. What really sends people over the edge is his absolute insistence that he is right and YOU ARE WRONG. Its the combination of arrogance and complete ignorance about the subjects he brags about knowing so well that really grates one's nerves beyond the braking point.
I'm not sure how long you've been here, but I've browsed these forums for far longer than my Joined date says and I've seen Raven post some really wild b.s. I don't know if you've seen it, (I doubt you have if you think Raven only streches the truth a little
) but I'll dig up some old argument if you want to see Raven really in action. Its a thing that has to be seen to be believed.
"Then again, I like playing the devil's advocate in real life."
Ahhh...
So that is why you are defending him. Trying to rile the forum residents up, eh?
