I'm new - meaning I don't know where everything is in this forum. How many times do you go to a forum and read each and everything line, by line, by line, by line, by line?????
Dear god.
You don't have to "know" where it is.
Right at the top of the forum - the very first topic, you'll see this:
I can't read - so that's not condescending then ????? You obviously don'thave a very good grasp of english if you don't think your posts are arrogant and condescending !
I think the problem here is (and please note I say this not because I have an exaggerated opinion of my own importance, or because I want to show that I am acting graciously towards someone I consider my inferior) that you don't know what "arrogant and condescending" mean.
What appears to be going on is that you simply cannot stand anybody questioning what you plan to so, or suggesting that there might be a problem with it, and when they do you lash out with accusations of arrogance and condescension.
Yes, I've thought it all through, the thing is, you didn't answer the actual question
It had already been answered.
but went off on one trying to prove how much more you seem to know than me - I call that arrogant.
I call that ignorance of what the word "arrogant" means. If on the 5th August Usain Bolt proves that he is better than everybody else will that make him arrogant?
Being better than someone else, even showing that you are better, is not arrogance.
But in any event I wasn't trying to prove that I knew more about anything than you - I was just trying to get you to think about the implications of having so much lighting in your room. Do you go through life accusing everybody who asks you "are you sure?" or "have you thought about that" of being arrogant, or condescending?
"Where have I said anything about what does or does not look good? "
You didn't have to - your CONDESCENDING tone said it all for you !!!!!
Oh - I see - you looked at these words:
You're putting in 5 lights to replace 1?
Does that not say anything to you about how good the new ones are at doing the job you want them to do, i.e. lighting up your lounge?
And immediately decided to imagine a "tone" and immediately decide to accuse me of being arrogant and condescending.
- Are you getting the idea yet?
The idea I'm getting is that you decide to imbue my words with something you don't like and then think it's OK to attack me because you don't like what you've imagined.
"And if you don't want people to comment on what you are doing don't come here and tell us about it - you do not have the right to circumscribe our replies. "
So you can give it loads but can't take it then?
Take what?
Take someone arguing rationally about something I've written where they have a different opinion? Yes.
Take someone inventing embellishments to something I've written and then accusing me of being arrogant and condescending because of what they've invented? No.
If you don't want your comments circumscribed, then keep them to yourself.
You've still got this the wrong way around.
Do you really think that this site should work on the basis that the scope of responses people give is what the questioner has decided in his own mind it should be?
Lest they be accused of arrogance and condescension?
In fact, tell me how you helped in this post?
I tried to help by asking you to
think.
Apparently you don't like to do that.
Other than apparently pointing out that 5 lights were too many (not bothering to ask how many watts each damn bulb is of course and so NOT knowing if the room would be too bright or not anyway) ?????????????
You said you were using 5 of them because 1 wouldn't look good, not because 1 wouldn't be bright enough:
The reason for installing 5 lights is not because they are bad at lighting up a room, but because I personally think that 1 spotlight in the middle of a room would look pretty cr4p ! And so using 5 of them would make the room look better !
All I've read in any of your comments is how everyone is wrong and you're right.
Well - you've obviously not read enough of them then, but it would be pretty odd for anybody to post something which they knew was wrong.
I even read a few posts where someone asks a simple question and you can't answer it - a simple as hell answer which even I (a non electrician) could answer
And you can show examples of that, can you?
Rightttttttttttt..... so because I come on to a web FORUM to ask a question, everyone should be allowed to treat me like I'm stupid?
Who treated you as if you were stupid?
2 out of the first 3 replies you got contained these lines:
Stickies are at the top for a reason!!
Look at the wiring diagrams for lighting Sticky.
Like most questions, the answer is already provided on the
WIKI. But here's a link
//www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:lighting:rose[/QUOTE]
And then there was this exchange:
..couldn't find a diagram for my type of circuit. If you could post a link, that'd be most helpful.
Hanspuch.
I already gave you the link to the wiring.
But for some reason you didn't decide that there was a "tone" you didn't like and then accuse securespark or Taylortwocities of arrogance or condescension.
Why was that, I wonder?
A lounge is not an ideal location for spot lights.
for some reason it wasn't to him that you directed
DON'T tell me what does and doesn't look good in your opinion, because in all honesty, no one else cares what you think, especially me!
If you don’t want to help, go do something else, don’t reply with arrogant and condescending answers!
God you're thick aren't you !
It's 2012 you D!**

You're the problem on this site, not anyone else, you're so damn thick you can't even see it!
And you have the gall to complain about what I've said to you when what you're complaining about is all in your mind anyway.
Care to show us where I've been anything like as abusive to you as you have to me?
