Title: Hi LInk
Post by: Snodgrass on November 16, 2002, 01:25:09 pm

I am probably one of the few people who does not hate you.  Sure, I\"ll poke fun at you, even tease you, but that is about it.  You\'re fairly intelligent but you hide it under a rude, crude exterior.  

Maybe when you post under the Newbie forum you should have a stock answer.  It might sound like Spam but if it\'s helpful who cares.  

Hi Newbie,

Since you\'re having problems then see the (insert hotlink) page and it will answer your questions.  

Have a rotten day.

Make it Link like so they have the right idea about you.  

When you have an argument that is valid in a forum just state it.  I have seen you do it several times and it has been highly effective.  In any discussion it is critical to have a counterview.  You provide that view many times.  However, when you mask it when LInkisms the point is often lost.  

So, take it from someone who used to be supremely sarcastic and didn\'t start digging until he hit bone.  IT DOESN\'T WORK!  

At first you think you\'re scoring points.

Then you find out its scored like golf.

Bummer.
 A forum is not a shouting match.  To get a point across it doesn\'t require degrading language of any type.  I would like to bring up an example.  I had a discussion with a moderator that was nothing more than an exchange of information.  Who won or lost?  It doesn\'t matter.  Both sides were presented and it was up to the readers of the forum to make up their own minds.  Who got in the last word?  That matters even less.  Both sides of the argument were presented and then it stopped.  

My father told me once if someone tells me I am wrong and proves it I have to thank him.  If he tells me I\'m wrong and doesn\'t offer any reason it just pisses me off.  

Thank you moderator.

I don\'t hate you Link, I never did. I am frustrated and disappointed by your behaviour but I certainly don\'t hate you, that would be ridiculous.
