Hi there. This wasn't a thread to which I had anything to contribute, but I have to say I found your post rather depressing to read. Are you aware that you insult ThomasV twice in this first paragraph? 1 - You have locked yourself into this single issue 2 - All you can talk about Twice you assert that ThomasV has some sort of congenital defect that prevents him from seeing the bigger picture. There's a difference between saying "you aren't seeing the bigger picture" and "you are *incapable* of seeing the bigger picture". If he really is incapable of seeing the bigger picture, why are you requesting that he do something? It's one thing to insult someone, but to insult someone and then demand that they do your bidding is worse. To insult someone, then to imply that you are a superior individual, and then expect them to do your bidding is a bit... extreme. Can I suggest that next time, you focus on what you have to contribute, rather than who is smarter? And maybe consider that other people just have a different perspective or priorities than you do? And if you really have to criticize someone's behaviour, then do so. But consider that there's little point in labelling someone as deficient, especially if you are trying to get them to do something. -- Neil Kandalgaonkar ( <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
