You have done something wrong to fall from grace with Q because he is so easy going I think it would really take a lot to get him mad. If your changing your ways, then do it. You don't have to tell the world you are here to help because you want to feel worth while. We will like you for you. Stop trying so hard and let your actions be for the right reasons not for our approval. Be yourself, it will show in your post and in your help. The way I am in the forums is the way I am in real life. Be yourself (within reason) and don't worry about what other people think.

Should be on the first page of the instruction manual for everyone who tries too hard to be liked and respected here (there are more than a few that I can think of....)

What pi$$es me off?

1) Elbatcho's merge topic--I agree, and the people who run red lights constantly around here....

2) Anyone who posts a 'which is better' or 'which is best' topic--the moment I see one I know I'm going to have some extra moderating duties.... (which also means less time to just be one of the gang here)

One last time, it's not us vs you, this is not what this board is about. I avoid things that I can't backup, I avoid topics which I feel strongly on. I won't post on a topic unless I can help or have question. I read, I read alot. Just about everything posted in the techtips, windows 2000 and NT. I drift into linux but I would never dream of posting anything on that board because I don't know it. So what do I do. I see what people are talking about and try and gather information for the future. However in the tech lounge it's all personal stuff. It's about life and what we as people have gathered, not only as tech, but as people. We as group range in age and background and even nationality. What you have to ask yourself is why it seems we are "picking on you". I take a lot of lumps on this site, but that's because I allow it to happen. I will put something down that I know will get a laugh and someone will come back with something as witty. I never go after a person unless they attack us as a group. The one thing you must always keep in mind that we are all real people and at some point you did something to fall from grace (I hate to use the same phrase twice but it works). What you have to do now is make a choice. Do I go on posting and getting these harsh replies, or do I change my ways and do the right thing. The big thing I can surgest is when you go to post think about what people are going to say about the information. I have posted some bad info, I have posted things which people disagree with, but through trial by fire I have worked myself up to the point that I feel like I am in control of the information I am posting, and that the things I am posting will not offend anyone. Remember you are working on borrowed time. I seem to remember that you were removed from this site at one point in time. So the only thing I can surgest at this point is to think before you post, try not to get yourself into debates you can not win, and read the information in the topic before you post. This is not going to go away overnight, but with time you can make it a distant memory.

Thanks Elbatcho.

No one here is ganging up on you. I'm acting entirely on my own. Q's acting on his own. It's not like I PM Q in the morning and say "Hey, wanna bash Insane Monkey today?"

And Elbatcho is DEFINATELY not picking you, he's trying to offer you some help, and point out exactly what you need to do to be accepted around here, and become well-liked. Stop being so dense and listen to him.

You asked a question "What pisses you off the most?" I gave what I felt was a legitimate answer. I'm not going to drag out all the details here, because this isn't the appropriate time or place for it.

Just step back a bit. Quit "trying" to help and just HELP IF AND WHEN YOU CAN. This BS of posting blatantly misinformed and opionated replies when someone asks for help in the other forums has got to stop. Quit worrying about your post count, try to relax, and have fun here. Maybe then, every else will enjoy your presense here.

Mods, slap me, ban me, hang me, whatever. This needed to be said, so I said it....

Hey folks, just something to think about...I just came from the hospital. One of my best friends just died in a car-motorcycle accident. He was 45. I don't want to be maudlin here, but life is too short to sweat the small stuff. You may be 21 or 27 or 57, you are not immortal. Think about the people around you and what they mean to you. I'll give you an example...his family is far away. My wife is returning from a conference in San Diego tonight. Who did I turn to? My WinDrivers family. I know I don't post the most, but I try to help. I also know that the people here (thanks JVA for the "friends" page it's awesome,but I digress) are sincere, dedicated,professionals who care alot about their peers. I have been in this business a long time, and I've visited and participated in alot of forums. This, is by far the most helpful and friendly. Why would anyone want to harm that? Peace, Love, Dove. Sorry for the rant.

I'm so sorry cland, I know how that feels, is there anything we can do to help you out? Your right life is too short. I am glad you can turn to us, because we are here for you.

You just did. You asked.

I'm sorry to hear that, dude. You're in my thoughts.

Clandtech...SOOO sorry to hear about your friend...as always your Windrivers "family" is here to help if you need ANYTHING at all. I'm sure it is a rough time....best of luck to you!! Let us know if you need anything...even just to talk....(ot type)... :D

Senior managers that try to act like they understand today's technology by telling you exactly how to do your job when they really don't have a ******* clue.

Clandtech, you have my sympathy; for what it's worth as I'm just a faceless poster. But I do care nonetheless. This is one of those events that DOES slap a good dose of reality in you face and makes you the disdain the trivial.

Back on topic now, 2 things REALLY rattle my cage.

1. "Nothing works anymore" as a description of a computer problem. Some people couldn't be bothered to actually explain the problem or read off the error message on their screen.

2. Bass turds who insist on passing you from the right lane when the light turns green and the falling back into my lane - causing me to slam on the brakes. (BTW, there are some instances where this is illegal in my area).

Both problems seem to involve inconsiderate attitudes toward your fellow man. Hummmm.

I never get pi**ed off, Well almost never!
But:
1. Flamers!
2. Script Kiddys!
3. Phoney wanabees!
4. NutScrape!
5. AOHell!
6. Insane Monkey!!
7. My Daughter who took my laptop
While I was not at home, Used MY
Computer, Sent 5 emails, used MY
Scanner, Then left for the Island
(Catalina) and drank the Last of
the Coffee, Not bothering to make
a fresh pot!!!! :mad: :mad:
The Coffee being empty really pisses me off the Most! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I knew this would happen... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Cland, we're with ya bud.

On topic:

No sooner than I posted that I hate people who run red lights but this happened--

Had to go deliver a system. Got to the end of my block--I'm the second car at a red light...out of nowhere, someone from behind comes racing by (in the oncoming traffic lane), makes a left-turn from the wrong lane against the red light and keeps on going without slowing down at all, and this is a pretty busy intersection!!!!!! It absolutely amazes me that HE didn't kill someone!!!!!! WHAT THE HE!! ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
