Go up one level in this thread


I am not going to tell anybody what they should or shouldn't do. I understand
how some people get overly offensive for no good reason I once asked for
seasoned programers to tell me some things about positional play and all i ended
up getting was a bunch of guys who were ticked off thinking i was questioning
their ability to program when in actuality they SHOULD not have made any
response as i wanted to talk to someone more experienced their is nothing wrong
with that but apparently all these people took it the wrong way , taking
something personally maybe the people in your case did but maybe they didn't
maybe they just are overly sensitive what can you do? You can take a defeatist
attitude or you can explain yourself , both ways may seem to get you nowhere it
may seem catch-22 but then again if you say look i don't try to offend anyone if
i did i appoligize however if you take what i have to say the wrong way maybe
you're the one not I who needs to undertake some serious soul searching.

I would hope you wouldn't go and i am sure i am not the only person who feels
this way as well. I have argued with you , i was annoyed at you but i left it at
that , That's the beautifull thing about being a human being you can have your
own opinion viewpoint , beliefs etc it's just when people take things the wrong
way that's when the two people need to come to some kind of agreement nomatter
how small it is ....preferably that i don't agree with you and you don't agree
with me i respect that and i will show you that i respect you by not namecalling
or taking offense and if i do i will ask you about what you've said and try to
clear the dispute up as much as possible that way i can understand what you
believe and why.

Sounds so simple but it is alot of work intesinal fortitude, will power what fun

I hope you come to the better conclusion.... good luck
