Nasty Messages
-
Why do some people have to insert nasty replies to posts when they appear in the wrong forum. Especially when some people have a strange question and are unsure where to post. We should stand on our lab desks and protest this!!! ;P I can understand if the question/comment is stupid and is obviously in the wrong forum then someone should same something; but at least be polite. Can't we all just get along :)
The best times in life are the ones that you can't remember!!!

To get along more than a handful of people out of hundreds have to show some respect. Until more people at least try, then it ain't gonna happen.

Brad Australian I assume Microsoft would not use doors, because using Windows is faster.
Cool sig. I heard that Windows is like an airconditioner, open a door and they stop working :-D

Because everyone whoe does the online equivalent of listening before talking would have notice he's in the wrong forum. And what point is an serious answer if someone is probably not goingto read it?

Linkify!|Fold With Us!Having your post not read is your own damn fault for putting it in the wrong forum. But we are really discussing the issue of whether it is OK to reply with a nasty message or not. We don't want to scare people away from CP. Do we?

tough question. If the only options are either "take them as they come", or "scare them away", I think we are sometimes better off with the latter. Finding a witty *snicker* reply to these programming quesitons is a kind of sport. It's silly. It doesn't save mankind. So what? They misbehaved, they got punished, life goes on. You might also have noticed that if someone apologises for his mistake, he's generally greeted with friendly back patting.

You're right. Many of the replies are unnecessarily nasty. By the way, I've suggested several times that the forums here should be rearranged so it's more obvious where a question belongs. But the replies I got were, in general, nasty!

Actually, that's was called a contrast and comparison to illustrate a point. And I think I've done a very damn good job showing respect for homos, etc. considering I don't agree with any of it. You've never seen me attack them, just express my views that I don't agree with it.

Linkify!|Fold With Us!I think that if somebody posts their message in the wrong forum she/he won't get the reply they wanted. That is what they deserve for posting in the wrong forum. Other people could post him/her to tell them they are in the wrong stinking forum, but in a nice stinking way. :)

Well, it seems most people's opinion is that there is extra nastiness. The posters may or may not deserve it. I think that if you want to be nasty then just add a ':)' after the message. That will make even the worst of replies seem nice :suss:
