Subject: Everybody chill
One of the things that's really cool about this list is that we're all here
to help each other learn to use ColdFusion more effectively. I want
everyone to think about this for a minute and remember it for a while.
Everyone has things that they don't understand or that they could learn to
use better, probably even Ben Forta. :) We are here to help each other, not
ridicule each other. When people ask questions and we ridicule them we
teach them that asking for help is a bad idea. Of course, it would probably
help if people asked like this: "I just don't understand how this is used
differently than this" or "I'm not clear on the concept of this, could
someone please explain it?" or even "Man, I am totally lost. I need to get
this thing done and I can't figure out how to do it;" Instead of: "this
thing is obviously broken" or "this is useless" or "why doesn't allaire get
off their lazy butts and fix my problem." These kinds of questions are
really not helpful and I am trying to ignore them. I really am, but it's
difficult.
Also, I understand that personal agendas are hard to avoid, but it would be
really nice if we could avoid them.
So basically, we need to just calm down a little bit and think about how we
say the things we say, ok? Otherwise, this helpful forum could degenerate
into something that none of us really want to see.
