Zagatto, thank you for clarifying. I was actually very surprised that you named names by playing a guessing game, and I thought "this is so un-Zagatto-like." Now, I see what happened.
For the record, I have nothing to do with Rorschach business. As Zag said, if my goal was to harass Vicious, there is no need for me to create a diversion. Vicious has over 2400 posts and there's virtually unlimited supply of insults to draw from. Moreover, I do not dislike Vicious and I have no desire to antagonize him unnecessarily. If anything, the board would be a little less interesting place without Vicious. Only thing I don't agree with Vicious is his treatment of newbies, but that's another story.
This is my speculation of what happened:
I don't believe the original question about FX syncing-issues was a bait to draw Vicious into flame war. The question was legitimate, and there is no way that one can know for sure that such question will draw ire of Vicious. The question was not stupid enough.
It is quite possible that the question was posted by someone who had a fight with Vicious before and left the forum a while ago. Now that person came back to ask a question and registered a new name. Then the person sees Vicious' response and get angry. The rest is history. Otherwise, it does not make sense. No active members have any reason to create new user name to ask a legitimate question about FX releases.
Or just as possibly, Rorschach is a new person or a friend of someone on the board. In that case, the whole thing is a much ado about nothing.
Whatever the truth is, I don't think the original intent was to attack vicious. Rather it was a genuine question to get information.
