Destroyed?
For the record, this is why I dislike people talking on my behalf.
I made a stupid mistake while trying to help solve the LC and contribute to the site and then fixed it, just like Cold created this topic to help people out, but this guy decides to be a complete jerk about it. Because no one has ever made a mistake or a redundant thread before, and if you do then obviously you're a complete idiot worthy of mocking. Oh, but he's retired, so that makes it cool and funny and edgy for him to treat people like shit, am I right?
The amusing thing wasn't that you made a mistake. I wasn't as ass about the first mistake. If you review the post, I simply pointed out that it was interesting that you failed to notice such an incredible error.
Then you told me to, and I quote, "Fuck Off."
After that, you became entertainment.
Being sarcastic about something is one thing, but being downright cruel to any member regardless of their rank or how long they've been on the site is rude and hurtful.
I would argue that being cruel to any member regardless of their rank would be classed as fair and indiscriminate. Although indiscriminate isn't really the word.
I discriminate againt stupid. I always have, and I always will. Don't feel bad, it's rarely personal.
> 5.1 - Do not be cruel, hateful or hurtful to other members. Do not harass other members.
> 5.4 - Trolling is not welcome at Neocodex.
I know the rules. For a long time, I enforced them.
Since it's also against the rules to make public complaints about users, I'm leaving it at this.
You don't do passive-aggressive very well. I wouldn't try it again.
But seriously, leaving nasty comments on someone's thread, or pointing out an error someone made (and fixed like a minute later) for the sole purpose of mocking them is totally unnecessary and just makes people feel shitty, awkward, and unwelcome.
Presuming to know my motives is rather arrogant for someone who is sitting on a pedestal judging my life choices.
It's not cool, it doesn't make you look like an intellectually superior tough guy. There might be a handful of people who think it's funny, but to the rest of us you just look like an asshole.
Here's the kicker, though. I'm not doing it for them, or for you. I am an asshole... or did you think that escaped my piercing perception?
[size="2"]Maybe I overreacted, and for that I apologize. However I believe my point still stands. It's not the first time people have been dicks for no reason so... yeah. That's all.
Just because you don't understand the reason, doesn't mean that there isn't one. Don't judge me against what you believe is good and proper, because it almost certainly doesn't apply.
That's been hanging around in my thoughts for a while too. Thanks Stitches, Lord knows I wouldn't have had the emotional capacity to say this myself. Personally, I'd add arrogant, rude and patronising to the word 'asshole'.
Feel free to read the above. But thank you for your input.
