As I am concerned you had barged into a ModelGlue list demanding an education in ColdSpring, OO architecture and design, ModelGlue and UI development and then spit in the face of one of the people who was most active in helping you. Apparently, it was a misunderstanding and I'm glad that it has been righted. Kudos to you for apologizing and making it right.
I should have said something more like "Dude, Chris was only trying to help, seriously, that's not what he meant" rather than jumping directly to invective. I was pissed... someone had impugned my friend who was trying to help them, and I was trying to make a point: If you're going to spit in the face of your helpers, go learn to help yourself. That was, and is, my only point, and it still stands even if it no longer applies in this situation. So, apparently you and I have had our own misunderstanding, for which I apologize. I was unclear in my response to your assault on Chris. It had nothing to do with patience, your level of knowledge or anything else. It had to do exclusively with your reaction to someone who was putting in every effort to assist you and receiving your scorn in return. Anyone who knows me knows I can be an arrogant dickhead, but that I am also reasonable and more than willing to make things right where I was wrong. I regret that our first encounter was of this nature and that I chose to respond the way I did. Please accept my apology for being quick to react. Hopefully we can all just get along and play nice now... us "so- called experts" lose patience so easily one never knows what might happen if these shenanigans continue. ;) J On Sep 12, 2008, at 10:03 AM, cs01rsw wrote: > > there is a common belief amongst the so called experts that they get > frustrated with people who may not know as much, and also their egos > stretch to unbelievable heights. the good thing about the cf community > is that i rarely see this. the cf community really seems to be there > to help people no matter what their experience level, or questions. > > people giving advice also need to learn to take it and not be too > hostile - not mentioned any names (j), and the so called experts need > understand that cultures are different and the nature of people is > different, and that sometimes advice may not get across in the way > that it is meant. ... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "model-glue" group.
