In an effort to try to stop this list from becoming Antony personal
anger outlet forum, I would like to put in my 2p worth.
Antony is displaying typical bully boy tactics - aggressively attacking
any response that does not coincide with what he want to hear while
throwing out and endless stream of pugnacious remarks ('immature
teenagers', 'secret tree house club' etc.). It seems either he has a
inability to communicate with any degree of sophistication, or he is
uninterested in the answer and is merely trolling.
Antony: Your annoyance seems to hinge on the fact that you have asked a
question, and not been told how exactly how to fix it to your liking.
When given possible solutions, you answer with sarcasm and rudeness,
rather than a polite 'thanks, I tried that, but it didn't help' etc.
I speak for myself, but I am sure there are a large amount of people of
a similar disposition on this list - I am on this list primarily to get
answers. If a question is asked which I think I can help with, I will
answer. If not, I will not say a word (I am sure no-one would like to
see 300+ 'I don't know' replies). I will answer becuase I have a natural
tendancy to try to help people. That tendacy disappears very fast when I
start to dislike someone, and making sharp rude and arogent replies is a
very quick way to be disliked.
You continuely compare the level of support of FreeBSD to Windows and
other corporate products. That is a void comparison. They support you
because that is what you paid for. No-one is paid to support you, and
while I am sure there are plenty of people who would like to push
FreeBSD into higher usage, I could not care less who else is using it
(again, I am sure I am not alone in this), and would rather see less
people with your attitude using it.
Stop running around yelling its not fair that people won't play by your
rules, and get over yourself. Take a breather, come back and show a bit
of respect to the people you are asking for help, or don't come back.
Regards,
Martin
