It's not just here. I have seen this in other online forums. It seems
that when you require the help the most is when certain individuals
have the least patience. I shall continue to lurk but I'm afraid that
my enthusiasm for engaging in conversation is not what it once was.
I second this, I have come across the get lost and use google brigade
even when asking for advice based on peoples personal experiences, with
something. its really off putting,. I have however found this forum
friendly and helpful so in this context it is OTHER forums where I have
had problems. but end of the day it's still the GNU/Linux community
that looks bad.

I am in a dead area for user groups and would like to start one up. I
feel it would be a great help to have something physical where people
can go for help, support and encouragement. However whenever I mention
this and try to push for it I just get hit with a whole lot of negative
comments and lethargy. Nobody seems willing to support the idea at all
and I think it's a real shame. There seems to be a lot of laziness and
'let somebody else deal with it' attitude going on. I'm more than happy
to set one up but it's not easy when you don't have any proof that
anybody else will even turn up!
We all need to remember at all times that when we talk on these forums,
chat rooms, web pages that we are representing the brand (whichever
floats your boat) and so should keep it positive, constructive and
supportive at all times. If any of us feels the need to drag the tone
down we really shouldn't be doing so in such a public way, keep it 1 on 1.
