Matt,

Some people will always expect special treatment. How many times in the homework section has an OP been told the rules and been given the link on what the forum expects from them.

The best solution is to not respond to those not following the rules, especially after telling them of the expectations.

Of course the ignore button also achieves the goal ... for the real hard cases.

 

What issues are those? I can listen to convincing arguments. Those are few and far in between however.

Honestly I'd rather not bring up old arguments, as I was admittedly part of many of them. Usually they're simply based around misunderstandings, and, to be perfectly honest, you tend to stick with your original understanding instead of trying to see the true intent behind it.

That's all I'm going to say. Like I said, I don't want to bring up old arguments. I'd rather stay on good terms this time

Matt

You're absolutely right.

Any particular reason you posted this directly to me?

I have discussions with dozens of people on these sites. The same two or three think I'm difficult. The other dozens have no issues.

With a few, I'd even say I get along swimmingly.

Never said you didn't get along with people. Just said you're a bit stubborn, which as you mentioned is often a good thing

 

C'mon guys, lighten up. It's a balance. Feud in the threads and your educational agenda goes to crap.

I'm trying to stay light, trying to avoid a feud. Only meant the original comment as a joke

 

Never said you didn't get along with people.

I never said you did. My point is my "issues" you speak of only manifests with the same small group of people. Never seems to be a problem with the overwhelming majority of the members I interact with.

Understood. Thanks for clearing that up--I think we're good now.

Back to the original topic!

Matt,

Not particularly directed at you, just relaying an observation I've made of the many years of participating in various forums. I find it easier to write if I address it to a single person.

There are alot of people who just want the answers without the work, in many venues acrossed a cornicopia of subjects and issues.

I completely agree with you on the possibilities of misunderstanding due to translations caused by the various translators available on the web.

I happen to prefer Walk Off The Earth's cover of that song:

Since we're talking covers...well, this is a spoof, technically, but funny anyway. I can't hear the original without singing these lyrics to myself.

That was just....horrible!

 

I figured out who it is. I put that guy on mental ignore 2 years before I found the ignore button in the user control panel. You too can do what I have done.

I'm with Bill: Don't feed the troll. It is a complete waste of time to be miserable about somebody else's behavior.

This particular member's English is very good when he want's it to be, maybe even better than a few people on the forum that have English as a first language.

 

They banned me for wanting the moderators to do something about all the stinking trolls on that site. What they don't know is they didn't punish me by banning me. They punished members who could benefit from my help.

Calling Nigel a twit got me banned. Who ever said truth was a good defense -- Hah!

 

The badlands of off-topic..everyone visits

Some of you guys must have the patience of Job. I'm With #12. That guy is the only member who is, or ever has been, on my Ignore List, and he's been there for probably at least a year.

Generally, I like Nigel, but that's funny!
