You're very predictable, its a pattern then many have spotted and are very aware of,
Yes - you are not alone in being hard of thinking.
after-all you're not any more qualified than most if at all
I probably am more qualified than most DIYers.
you're just a DIYer yourself - so what makes you any better (and I don't mean with 'copy and paste')?
What makes me "better", if that's the term you want to use, is my superior knowledge. And knowledge does not depend on qualifications.
Not once will you have seen me argue that DIYers need to become qualified, only that they need to become KNOWLEDGEABLE.
Whenever a user asks for assistance, on this DIY FORUM, you...
- Quote regulations.
Do you not think that DIYers need to be aware of regulations? I've never seen any clauses in any regulations or laws which exempt DIYers, but if you know better then please enlighten me.
- Link to a retail website's technical section.
If you mean the book on TLC's website, then why not? It's an excellent free resource with much useful information. You should try reading it sometime - you might learn something.
Oh - sorry, I forgot - you don't want to learn, you want to be spoonfed and have people take responsibility for things which you are actually legally responsible for. After all - learning is for the arrogant, eh?
- Call the poster incompetent.
Only when they are.
That leads many to firmly suspect that you are indeed incompetent yourself.
Only the hard of thinking.
Do you class yourself as one of those?
The fact remains that if you were as good as you believe, you wouldn't have time to waste on a DIY forum, abusing DIYers - you would also provide constructive advice instead of hiding behind the copy/paste regulation/testing quotes.
I'm sure that you think it would be better if, every time someone asked how to size a cable, I posted an umpteen page answer with all the theory and factors and calculations explained rather than linking to pre-existing pages containing that information, but I don't think that many people would agree with you.
I just read a very interesting thread about you, you should be ashamed of your past online activities,
I'm flattered that you have such an interest in me (as long as it doesn't turn into stalking), but I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
it's pretty sad and embarrassing too to have been rejected from other online forums due to bad conduct/unhelpful behaviour - you should have a sit down and think about your character, attitude and overall online perception.
Actually, you are the one who should sit down and think about whether you should ally yourself to criminals and racists who used bullying tactics and lies to silence me when they could not properly argue against me, or even in one case who got so frustrated by the truth they wanted me to stop writing that they pursued me to another forum to continue their pathetic vendetta.
