Ha!
Ya know what? Forget it.
You tell me to calm down when your own people are the ones typing in all caps and using double exclamation points.
I told you in the beginning that I'm new to this, and you've been utterly useless in helping me out.
I'll gladly work it out on my own or go elsewhere for help.
What \n
a n\
joke.
I know I'm evil, that's my job as moderator in this forum.
Nevertheless, if you really want help, just give the needed information instead of trying to say that nobody wants to help you.
It's impossible to help you, if you do not give the information we need.
With such an attitude you will not get help in any serious forum, mailing-list or whatever.
No one called you evil, and I did what I could to provide the information necessary.
As I explained in the beginning, I'm new to all of this, so naturally, it would make sense for the people who are actually trying to help to approach the situation as one would a child. In other words without condescension, without typing in all caps or using multiple, emphatic punctuation which otherwise designates extreme [and unnecessary] emotion, and with - above all else - a spirit of understanding and patience.
Tim S. did everything - to the letter - that someone who is "trying to help" should not, so yeah, I got frustrated. In response, I sent him a private message to ensure that my emotions of frustration weren't smeared across the internet, and the response? Yelling and an utter lack of patience and understanding.
Moderate all you want, Jen. I'm calm as a cucumber at this point. I'm just saying that unless you put people on here who
actually want to help, you're going to keep running into the same problems. People like Tim are the only reason people like you - the mods - are even necessary in the first place.
You're not evil. You're just not necessary if there's real help being offered.
Might suck to hear, but it is nevertheless accurate.
I received no help from you or Tim and will find my own way. Thank you, Tim, for absolutely nothing but demonstrating how not to be.
