Question to everyone
- Thread starter Christopher
- Start date
If you felt the need to create this thread, you should already know the answer to your question. If your presence here isn't working out, you could always leave temporarily to sort things out, and return later. Many moons ago, I got annoyed at quite a few people here. I ended up leaving for some time, and I didn't even read the forums for about a year. Then I decided to start posting again. I'm a lot more wise now.
What makes you ask that?
"morundos" is probebly the most disliked member here
Well, I was asking because I was on another forum that is basically dead now and I've been pretty hated over there. It might have to do with it being a load of teens, who knows.
Does the Smilie in your first post signify that the second sentence is intended ironically? If you can look at your post count—which is way out in front of that of any other member of this Army—and reread all of your posts without squirming, you can rest assured that no-one can dislike your posts. As for disliking you, as opposed to your posts, no-one here can possibly know you well enough to dislike you. You are a contributor to a special interest group, and it is your contributions that matter to your fellow-soldiers.

That doesn't allow much room for unwarranted insecurity and self-doubt, which is a fairly normal part of the range of human experience.
That said, you probably ought not worry too much about what we think. We're just a bunch of retro computing nerds, after all. The most erudite, polite, and helpful bunch of such that you're likely to find around these here intarwebs, but still.
Like equill says, it's what you can contribute and learn and how you treat your comrades in arms that counts.
If you want some real feedback: I have noticed a couple of replies on tech questions that seemed a bit like wild guesses for the sake of making a post, rather than based on actual knowledge of the machine/problem at hand. Mildly annoying, but no reason to take a dislike to a chap.

"He doesn't like you."
"Sorry."
"I don't like you either! You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems!"
"I'll be careful."
"You'll be DEAD!"
No, that's not a direct comment on you, Christopher. It's just that your post made me think of a movie. Any guesses?

Based on what I know, it was in my experiance of that perticular issue, they weren't wild guess.
Another forum I was on hated me rather strongly. Thats all.
I'll be slightly off-topic, and I apologize in advance. But I just had to say I wasn't comfortable with macgeek's statement. I haven't been an active member of this army for a long time, and maybe this particular issue is related to previous stories I'm not aware of, but this is the second time I read you, macgeek, expressing publicly your disliking of another member. Can't you two guys settle this privately?
And to answer Christopher's question, as long as I'm concerned, you've been helpful to me in some of my threads, so I certainly don't dislike you! And I haven't read anything about that neither.
Aah... sorry. He just really got on my nerves when he was doing the "I need this and this and this and this and this and *clip* and this and this..." thing
Still though something like that can be taken care of through PM's or speak with a mod about it. Bringing something like that out in public is poor form in my opinion.Aah... sorry.

I am pretty sure I am hated by quite a few around here, for being rather trollish and brash.
Do I get mad when people pollute the forum with posts about PC stuff? I used to, but the iBrainwash is starting to wear off now, and I have wised up, seeing that it doesn't matter WHO made the solution to the problem, its what suits your best. I also caused some major chaos in the past with drama, and I did type in a very lazy manner, and exhibited no intelligence. I guess its easy to dump out your stress on the internet, as rarely are there repercussions. In the past, my posts were useless, and I tried to blend in, in a very bad way, as a totally brainwashed Apple Fanatic. I admit, Windows 7 is quite slick and nice, and it reminds me of NT 4 in speed, which is good.
I guess my main reason for being trollish, is just that this forum has drifted too far off topic, and I admit I contributed to it, as the lounge is my most active forum.
/end drama and slight long story
Sorry for e-pollution.
