And our site was like the opposite. Uh... let's just say many Lemmy users wouldn't like its editor, but he did not hold back gut punches, and refused to watch his site turn into a clickbait farm.

Hey man, I was a Hardforum user for as long as I can Remember and Kyle was a straight shooter. Even when he jumped to Intel, nobody gave a second thought about his honesty! The problem is that for every Kyle, we have 10 Ryan Shrouts. He was (unlike kyle) one of these writers that was consistently on a high horse talking down to the peasants. Kyle had a short fuse but you always knew where he was coming from. I don't think lemmy users would dislike Kyle at all.

Off topic: Kyle was one of the few CPU testers besides Ian of Anandtech (much later) that recognized the Utility of running benches at 720p to remove GPU bottlenecks. HardOCP is missed to this day.

This sounds so logical today it's mind boggling that others didn't come to this conclusion.
