| exindguy said: Read what you wrote--that *is* defensive (we can argue semantics all night, though, if you like). But let's just clarify this further: just because the person that's tackling the problem can't fix it doesn't mean it isn't an easy fix. I don't know about you, but I've made several mistakes in the past that have been *Mickey Mouse* errors that I hadn't picked up on because I was too close to the project (I call these 'face-palm' or 'd'oh' moments). When someone else not so aborbed in the nuts and bolts went over it, voila!, the error was discovered in less time than it took for me to compose this post (even though I'd been staring at it for hours). The point is, you're getting worked up (and, yes, defensive) at a harmless comment. Hell, you've said a lot worse than I have since this exchange began and I'm still not personally insulting you. Would you prefer I said you were over-reacting? Would that make it more acceptable? |
Where have I personally insulted you? I have done nothing but call you ignorant on a subject you have shown no knowledge of. I have insulted what you said, and how you said it but never you. Was I a bit defensive of the site? Probably. You were also a bit insulting and demeaning in your post. By the by, when I get worked up there is way more than this. This is me getting bored EV training my Blissey and replying to an overly arrogant new poster. If I were worked up there would be three page diatribes over why you were wrong.
Understand from what perspective? I can replicate and explain from a user perspective why everything happens. It seems like I could almost explain it if I had the bare minimum in understanding of how web browsers actually work.
