It's not just that question specifically, but the nearly frothing railing against AMD leading up to it combined with the presumption that I used a benchmark suite (and an old one at that) to denote "works fine" in response to someone who was clearly more demanding.

I'm regularly on the receiving end of like-structured conversations in a vocal context. "Venomous sarcasm" and presupposition of incompetence/bad faith would be precisely how one would describe it.
