Ya goober member you :jester goober is just an inside joke, no harm intended to any new members.
Ok, as for the personal attacks I assume you mean the comments directed towards leavetron. Opp, clumsy me, I mean Leavitron. Whatever you do there do not ever misspell his name.
Anyway we are just stating our experience with bad traders like jdaves and have tried to warn people there. In the past we have assisted in bad trades with members at ars against another member there. And some with a member elsewhere. During those times the mods there were emailed but not once did anyone bother to reply. Several other times we tried getting their help for info regarding other bad or questionable traders, again not one reply.
I emailed Leavitron last night mentioning more about jdaves and I finally get a reply back. But the first thing he mentioned was that I misspelled his name. His comment "Obviously you don't know how to spell! It's L-E-A-V-I-T-R-O-N". I put an e where the i goes. So in his reply he starts it by insulting me.
Others can see how he is with his attutude he has at ars.
Then I see a member there post this:

<< What the hell does a bad trade at Anandtech or something have anything to do with trades at ArsTechnica. As long as the guy is making good on the trades done on Ars, why should the Ars mods be worried about what is happening on other boards? >>
Wow
I'll stop now. Best of luck to you guys there.
