So I ask a programming question...

You really gotta try harder to keep up with everyone that's not on the short bus with you. In the lounge or the soapbox, i don't care about the votes, in the articles and the programming forums, I do. As far as *giving* votes, I doubt if I've handed out many more than a just couple of dozen message votes over the last eight years (if you don't count the "report this message" stuff). As far as how much WPF sucks, well, that's not even remotely related to this topic. So, try not to be distracted by shiny things while you're on this site. I'm really not in the mood to make sure everyone is reading from the same script...

Every time I find a bug in VS2008, or .NET, or anything else, I post about it here, and get a ton of 1 votes. No-one ever posts and says that the bug does not exist, but saying it does, gets me 1s

At first glance, it looks like you posted a shitload of code and then asked people to debug it. That tends to generate a negative response.

I trimmed as much out of it as I dared to without losing context through omission. That is the nature of WPF. As it is, I had to gather all that crap from three different files - the state of WPF coding requirements certainly can't be blamed on me, nor can I be criticized for posting the code in question. At least it's in a frakking <PRE> tag. How many of the wanna-be programmers have used the <PRE> tag to format a code block here in the last 24 hours? Few, if any, besides me.

With you Christian, we know whether the bug exists or not doesn't matter since none of us will ever see it. :)

...in the WPF forum, and some 'tard 1-voted it. I didn't even bad-mouth WPF in it (I save that for The Lounge)...

I can understand if it is spam, but there are a lot of reasonable questions that a newbie might ask are being voted down.

Well someone votes 1 or 2 and he/she explains why they did so, it helps to see where they coming from and opens a door for learning. If simply they leave 1 and walk out, too bad there is nothing helpful in that and I'd fail to see their point view, for that it does not bother me.
Yusuf Can I help you?

That was your problem.. I think they thought someone else may have hi-jacked your account and posting under your name. Not enough bad mouthing of WPF!

So you finally admit it - you're a wanna-be programmer! :laugh: :laugh: :-D (okay that is a joke from what I've seen of your articles and posts here you seem to know your stuff)

I don't mean to be offensive, but it seems like you only post "I hate XXX" any more, you're possibly taking flack just from people sick of nothing but whining. JSOP's rants are much more entertaining than yours. :rolleyes:
