Ageless, if you are still reading this, don't stop crunching, just stop coming to the boards. I crunched classic for six years without hanging out in the fora. They are not the same. I hardly look in here anymore because of the bullshit. don't give up!...peace, love and understanding take time...these things will not come just because they should...or because we want them to...we can only change the way things are by living the example we want to set...day by day...others will notice...maybe not even consciously...but a ripple may be started...when great changes begin they are often but a ripple...gaining importance only after much time has passed...if you are misunderstood...try to explain further...there will always be those who will never understand...maybe never even want to...playing on forever in a negative battle for hate's sake...but if even a few understand...then these will be your allies...these are the most important ones. PROUD TO BE TFFE! |

There are alot of people out there that are having problems. This number will increase as more migrate from Classic or from other projects. Some do not even know where to post their questions to, or get rude about it. Some are looking for answers before they post, some don't. I may not have all the answers to the problems out there, but I look to find them, and I try the best I provide an answer. In the process I sometimes learn a little more about an area I didn't quite understand so well. Sometimes I get thanks for my help, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I make a new friend in the process, other times they are still grumpy & whining. There are some that are happy with a "link" to a solution. We all bump heads with someone from time to time. But hopefully when you do, it's with someone who can openly communicate their problem and rationally discuss the situation or a solution, or quite simply agree to disagree. I don't like the way that someone can give a - rating of a post and eventually have it filtered out of the thread. Maybe a modification should be made there so that the person wanting to make the - rating had to give a explanation why. When the project is down, I see at least 10 threads about "I can't connect/ul/dl/etc..." All the major "whiners" have something to do then. When the project is up we run into things like this. Most of the time they do not even offer a idea or better solution to the problem at hand, or better yet, they will jump on someone who does and calls them a cheerleader. These people aren't happy and probably never will be unless they can complain about the project or about someone else. I have better things to do with my time, rather than lowering myself to their level, by doing something useful by helping someone who wants to be helped & they in turn might eventually help someone else out. We all have expertise in different areas. Don't let a handful of "helpless" morons get to you. PLONK 'EM!!! (Or rate their post & move on) You can not make everyone happy. "I" can only make "me" happy. (Sorry for the long post my friend) |

There are alot of people out there that are having problems. Kajunfisher, the problem is not the people who come and have problems, the problems are the ones who shoot those down, who really do an effort to help, just because they, for some reason, don't like the person who are helping! The problem over in NC is some wannabe's who are jealous or envious, because they see themselves as more "knowledgeable" than many of those, who really have the knowledge, and because they want their egos stroked by offering "help" so they feel indispensable! If you have read in NC for some time, you'll know who they are and if you look over there right now, you can also see them come to the "rescue" for the misguided rabble, who come in droves now because of the latest outage! Or at least they think it's the misguided rabble! "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

There are alot of people out there that are having problems. I know, Fuzzy, alot of people over there are afraid to ask, afraid to post, because of some of the people there and I've goten tired of it too from time to time. I don't mean of the people asking the questions, but of the people acting stupid. I've was in NC & other boards long before I ever ventured into the Cafe, but I always kept up. I know the trends. I see it alot, as you all do. But my main intent was to not let Jord get discouraged because of a handful of people. There are too many other people out there who like him, enjoy what he has to say, and the only way to fix this is to keep doing what we've been doing... helping others. I've seen far too many good people, men & women, bullied off of these boards because of their opinions. I have lost good friends here because they didn't want to submit theirselves to that kind of torture again. (Was that a little bit clearer Fuzzy?) |

I don't give an extraterestrial's backside what anybody rates my posts as. Some people don't know, or care, how to spend their energies in a productive fashion. They just prefer to sling mud and make a mess for everyone. I pity those characters, but I don't waste my precious time in this universe on them. |

Well, my kids sometimes do not always agree with what I tell them, but I still take time to help them... |
