I specifically remember a time in which I was berated for being too mean to a newbie in one of my posts, and I understand that my post could have had gone either way in terms of its level of mean-ness, including that the difference between mean and not mean might merely be the choice to change a few of the words to be less harsh, and at the time, I largely disagreed with my having had been too mean to that particular newbie - even though there were several times later that I did consider similar kinds of interactions with other newbies, and I reflected upon my earlier interaction about whether I had been "too mean" in my post, and based on those kinds of reflections, I would sometimes moderate my tone just because sometimes the extra level of mean-ness is not really necessary (or helpful), even if the newbie might seem to be engaging in a kind of trolling behavior. yet it still might be ambiguous in regards to whether the newbie is trolling or not..
It is a normal thing sometimes people get upset with the kind of reply they get from people. You know one thing that makes people angry and makes you said some mean words to people, is the inability of them understanding your explanation due to tone or your accentOr sometimes using some kind of word like "fuck you" you must be stupid for saying that" or more vague words which makes people reply aggressively and causes misinformation. I could remember the first time I came across your post, it was very difficult to comprehend to your level of explanation and it took me hours to understand your writeup. You have even reduced your writing pattern now for newbies to understand but I know many will still find it difficult to comprehend. But the reason behind that is that they don't know what the conversation is all about. Because they get more confuse expecially when they don't know what you are explaining. And you know what you don't know sounds pretty much like a grammatical blunder hahaha. But as time goes on I learnt that sometimes we misunderstood grammar for lack for our inability to comprehend write-up, and that is what makes you address newbies the way you think you did because it's always annoying in such situation.
True, yet sometimes it can be helpful to interact and to ask questions with other forum members in order to attempt to figure out why they post the way that they do, and sometimes when we interact with other members, we can figure out if they are being genuine or not.... because I tend to NOT be as much worried about whether I agree with someone or not, but I am concerned with some members who might make certain strong stances on a topic but without providing explanations for how they reached their strong stances.
Definitely a man is not an island of knowledge hence there is need to interact and communicate freely with people, by knowing your lapses in other to be corrected because being a higher ranked member does not necessarily mean yone are is more educated/intellectual than others or seeing their opinion as a waste. Human being are bound to learning regardless of age, belief, educational qualification or how influencial they can be. But being submissive is the key. Because if you have everything in life without communicating freely with people life will become unfriendly to you. I alway respect people who are rich and powerful but can still communicate with common people because the world is a small place and hence no need to be proud of nothing. I know my write-up might be a little bit far from the actual discussion, but any where can be a means or channel of passing a message across of life simplicity.I have experienced some forum members becoming very angry when I had asked them to explain some parts of the assertions to their posts, which sometimes demonstrate that they are not necessarily trying to be a genuine poster, and they might not even be a real person (maybe a troll or a paid shill?), so sometimes the interaction can be helpful in terms of figuring out if another member really stands behind his various assertions and is able to provide either facts and/or logic to back up their assertions.
Not every body that has a good writing skill or comprehension skill. Reading and writing is a very serious work because it takes Time. And it is annoying when you ask someone to repeat itself, it will be like telling a stammerer to repeat what he has said, definitely you will get a blow on your face. LoL
Most people find it difficult to comprehend a particular quote or thread but solely depends on other people quote to really understand the context of the actual topic. While others don't bother to check from others, but choose to reply without knowing that they have confused themselves in trying to explain a simple thing. and when you tell such person to rephrase h/herself, they wouldn't even bother to come back to the thread again.
