is hatting man because he can't deliver on a FAVOR right?

and some of those posts about trying to get him banned? some people have obviously not been here long enough to know what he contributes to the forum. especially when it comes to launches and reviews. sure some things he says can be a bit biased but he is one of our only sources of pre launch info. and i honestly can't see him posting any leaking info after the responses he got.
I agree with you on most things.
But...yes, there's a but(t) involved [ just kidding, playing with the words ]

If you don't want to get flamed ( whether we like it or not, there will always be flame-throwing people ) [ sometimes deserved, sometimes not ] you don't say "I will do that" and then come back saying "I can't".
When "you're in the know" and more precisely been working for a magazine/website, the press in general, you already know what you can and what you can't.
Don't tell me that he thought that AMD would let him spill the beans like that ( no matter if he's under NDA directly or indirectly ).
One time is something that can happen to anybody... but doing that several times is like asking for "punishment"

When you have something to say, say it or remain silent.
I have various stuff from time to time, NDA'd or not, if I'm not going/willing/being able to say something I don't say anything at all.
If I ever say something I just say it.
I don't make announcements "I have something, I'm not under NDA, I can say things about it, I'll come back later with info" and then risk/or intentionally "playing the game of 'the know'" come back saying, sorry I can't.

Can we drop it now ?
