Search engine results with a twist

[grandinferno]

paladin and are you such a sanctimonious, self-righteous, bleeding heart twat in real life? i'm not sure how you can actually survive as a graphic designer when you get so unbelievably defensive over comments critical of something you happen to have a positive opinion of. what do you do when you design something for someone and they dont like it? cry and run to mummy? tell them they're wrong, what you did was perfect and they should like it? how about you try actually continue to engage in the conversation rather than resort to ad hominem attacks? harb was ragging on the search engines, and your response is to rag on harb. grow up.

Really...

I think you may have confused effective with pretty.

Harbinger I was confused, I thought we were talking about sensible uses.

Both opening statements taking the piss out of my opinion, not the search engines.

How about people like you and harb just ADD to the topic or at least throw constructive criticism instead of being condescending? Can you do that without taking the piss? Can YOU engage in conversation without being a f*cking arsehole. I'm not the one who dive bombs people with negative, impolite or harsh drive-by comments consistantly in these forums for no apparent reason paladin.

You've obviously got no idea about the design industry, so maybe keep your opinions to yourself.

So anyway. Got anything to add to the topic dude? Or you just going to continue with your usual rubbish?

ban is imminent....

grandinferno Both opening statements taking the piss out of my opinion, not the search engines.

that's a danger you take when you post your opinions. if you dont like it, dont post anything on the internet, ever.

grandinferno How about people like you and harb just ADD to the topic or at least throw constructive criticism instead of being condescending?

i wasn't going to post anything until you dragged my name into it. perhaps you should refrain from making random derogatory comments if you don't want to deal with receiving a response.

grandinferno Can you do that without taking the piss?

no

grandinferno Can YOU engage in conversation without being a f*cking arsehole.

can you engage in conversation without throwing a tanty every time someone says something you dont like? drink a cup of cement and harden the **** up.

grandinferno I'm not the one who dive bombs people with negative, impolite or harsh drive-by comments consistantly in these forums for no apparent reason paladin.

funny, i wouldnt have posted in this thread at all if you didnt post a random, sarcastic harsh and derogatory comment about me before i'd even written anything, and guess what princess - not everything is rainbows flowers and sugarcoated fairies - sometimes, negative feedback is warranted, it's how we grow as a race.

grandinferno You've obviously got no idea about the design industry, so maybe keep your opinions to yourself.

maybe not about the design industry, but i do have a fair idea about sulky, whiny prats - such as yourself - so i feel my opinion there is accurate.

grandinferno So anyway. Got anything to add to the topic dude? Or you just going to continue with your usual rubbish?

as far as i'm concerned the topic ceased being about search engine design and started being a personal assault the moment you derailed it by abusing harb and then linking us together. if you want the topic to stay on topic, maybe you could help matters by NOT LAUNCHING INTO UNWARRANTED PERSONAL ATTACKS.

DoWhatUWant ban is imminent.... a guess based on experience

if i just banned people because i didnt like them, the forum would be almost empty

[DoWhatUWant]

I was referring to my two year ban for calling you a wanker and he just called you an asshole....

[paladin]

i think it was one year, and i'm also sure it was for creating 129384283483929 spam topics along the lines of that, as well as cheating like hell in our aatraders game.

i couldn't care less if someone calls me names in a thread - its the internets, i'll get over it.

[grandinferno]

paladin by NOT LAUNCHING INTO UNWARRANTED PERSONAL ATTACKS.

I apologise for making one comment, simply saying that Harb must be friends with you. I then made a couple of comments reacting to your blitzkrieg of venom. On the otherhand in the last two posts you've managed to throw no less than a dozen names and accusations against my personality.

i wouldnt have posted in this thread at all if you didnt post a random, sarcastic harsh and derogatory comment about me before i'd even written anything

I didn't. I said you must be friends with Harb.

...

I don't know whether you've noticed, but I make one off hand comment and you're the one who explodes.

Now how about we just leave me alone and get back onto the f*cking topic. If you were any kind of admin you would have said SOMETHING to Harb about being toxic with his response instead of splaying me all over the place. Go ban yourself. Prick.

[paladin]

grandinferno I didn't. I said you must be friends with Harb.

after having a spray at him - and then tying him to me, there by implying that the spray also covers me.

grandinferno I don't know whether you've noticed, but I make one off hand comment and you're the one who explodes.

yes, you seem to have that effect. my cheersquad appreciates my responses however.

grandinferno If you were any kind of admin you would have said SOMETHING to Harb about being toxic with his response

why? i say again if you can't handle someone offending your delicate sensibilities. GET OFF THE INTERNET. NOW.

moderators aren't here to babysit - i don't have a single problem with anyone ridiculing a concept - if you consider that someone picking on something you have a positive opinion of is equivalent to them picking on you, well then i just damn well feel sorry for you.

[grandinferno]

You can't defend someone being condescending, then tell me not to.

I'm done with talking with you mate. I didn't start this shit fight. I just posted a topic and got condescending bullshit from your mate. It wasn't just disagreeing, or offering an alternative opinion. It was condescending bullshit.

[paladin]

see what you call 'condescending', i call 'honest'

[ResLo]

Guys lets all calm down.... now getting back on the topic that GI posted about in the first place I thought at post #20 I'd actually reply to the original post about the search engines in question.

I entered "Ireland" as a search to all.

I can see where they are going but the screens are not of a usable size for me to know what the page is about. They are all blurred and when you move your mouse over em you still cant see what they are on about!

Hard to tell what the hell is going on here because it gave NO RESULTS WHATSOEVER!!!

Searchme Visual -
Thats more like it. A workable Vista like interface with scrolling properly rendered pages. I especially like the topic bar at the top of the page. The results are not particularly up to date however. One page returned a story from 2002!
