help me help you!

-sD-

ha ha i had a difficult time containing myself on the site about help vampires, who’s the idiot who came up with that religious BS, an online community is no different then a live community, if they want to censor or control what people say or try to be pollitically correct then they should not call themselves a community. In the real world, people say whats on their mind and they should not be labeled or judged just because they are on an internet forum doesn’t change anything IMHO People who help others are not being taken advantage of in most cases, everyone helps everyone. Its the ones who are closed-minded and think they are superior because they read geek books they are the real sucking vampires lol.

but thank you for the links of extra reading, none of them answered my question unfortunately but the extra reading should keep me busy for a few days he he

OK everyone, enough of this!

In the real world, people typically think before they speak, and speak with politeness and empathy (until they become friends, at which point all bets are off); and if they don’t the consequences can range anywhere from slight embarrasment to instant death. Certainly not going to suffer physical harm from your rantings here, but I hope you can see my point.

Anyway, your talk of closed-mindedness, censorship, politics and religion is not welcome here bugsmi0 (pot calling the kettle black is what my grandmother used to say when people start crying about this kind of stuff while engaging in it themselves); please cease and desist this kind of non-sensical posting that clutters our forum and makes it hard for people who are actually trying to learn something about the product and what they can do with it, to find the information they need. A low information-to-noise ratio on these forums is as important as anything else when helping new users like yourself become familiar with the product, and this kind of talk is only increasing the noise level and scaring away potential adopters.

No one here has a superiority complex, is judging you, censoring you or imposing religious beliefs on you; we are all just simply tired of your recurring questions we’re not going to answer being posted here. I’ve tried to be patient and humor your frequent posts that show obvious signs of help vampirism (no matter how ridiculous you find that concept to be), but my patience is wearing thin. Please consider this a warning to try and search more thoroughly before posting, stay on topic, and mind your manners here.

First off, before anyone mis-judges or mis-reads a persons actions, it’s important to understand first the intention behind it.

If it was never a persons intention to cause any trouble in the first place, then its flat out wrong to call them a vampire or any other label its disrepect plain and simple and yes I and anyone else would take offense to it and in the real world like you said all bets are off and you would be hammered without a doubt for the offense, but I forgive you for your ignorance and limited point of view and wil forget this ever happen

Now, on the other hand, if a person is obvious causing trouble intentionally, then I can see the need to give them a label or better yet, call it to their attention in a positive way but that’s not the case here. You can tell by my posts that 1. they are not repeating, 2. There is no intention to cause trouble, they are honest and sincere and 3. I have just a right to ask a question as anyone else so please don’t act like an elitist by thinking you know something.

Just because one may think they are too good for a person’s posts does not give them the right to impose their silly beliefs on them. I hardly believe anyone would ask repeated questions just to harass people that’s rediculous and obsurd, I wouldn’t and I’m always open to whatever people want to post.

I will usually search quite awhile before I post a question, if I am unable to find a suitable answer I post away.

I think its best to be open-minded to everyone who posts, you don’t have to read a post if if will cause you such grief lol

think before you speak: ah that goes both ways don’t you think ?

that’s all I got to say about that ..forrest gumb
