, but i am sorry your attitude sucks, the average diy person comes here looking for advice, yes you give them advice and also 3 tons of "free information " as well when as i have said before a simple "no" will do.
you do not seem to have the ability to tell what some one is really asking, you give all the required information, but always in the same manor, it never changes, if some one agrees with you then they are your "pal" and you are "nice to them" but some poor sole who comes here asking a simple (but wrong) question, gets verbal abuse, never a polite answer.
I hope for your sake Jim, your attitude improves on your own site, otherwise you will be very lonely over there
Breezer, after re-reading this thread I will put my hands up and state here and now that my original post regarding Inspector was illthought and purile, regardless of anything else, such a personal assault was not warranted and I was wrong to do so..PERIOD.
You and I have often disagreed on the amount of information in a reply to aquestion. My personal belief is different from yours, I believe that if you help someone to understand the problem, then they are more likely to solve it, so many times a simple Yes or No may not suffice.IMHO. Lets agree to differ on that.
You accuse me of verbally abusing people, I have, until the past week, remainded quite calm despite a number of very personal attacks. Yes I was blunt in some of my comments, and perhaps they were not read how I intended them, however for you to comment on my attitude is a case of the pot calling the kettle black..I think we can be as bad as each other in some of our responses..whether intentional or not.
It is odd how you feel that I am unable to pass on information, OK so the way I do may not to be to everyones taste, and it may not ever make me tutor of the day, let alone year, but there are those here that have learnt from information I have passed on.
I'll grant you that perhaps my tolerance level for some could be vastly improved, I have never been tolerant of "stupid" people. I do not mean those without education, I mean the educated who behave like fools, who try to use inflated egos to make themselves sound great or the sort of people who beleive they can do something when they patently cannot.
One of my failings has always been my inability to "tolerate fools gladely", I do not see why I should, if someone wants to know, and is willing to learn, I will give them all the time in the world, I think my reaction to Alberts posts and some others show that. Albert, and a number of others are willing to learn, they want to learn, however some post here in a way that trys to give the impression they are right when the world and his brother can see they are wrong, they will then try to justify their position with comments like "well it's my house".
Yep I should be more tolerant, and I will certainly start to walk away before posting in haste, which I have certainly done a couple of times in the last few days. It is strange, there is one forum I have been posting in for some 6.5 years, and cannot remember having a crossed word, yes not agreeing, but always jovially...odd that some places bring out the worst in us all.
