Does this bug you, I'm not touching you

Filed Under General 

Everyone thinks I'm harsh an asshole on the CCleaner forums. Am I too harsh? Screw you. :P

Anyway, don't take things so seriously. I guess everyone finds me real irritating lately, but this has never been a problem before. Also, I wonder why this here [ins] tag is producing a +0:00 time difference when it should be -04:00, I think... I'll go check that out now. Edit: it's already set to -04:00, but the datetime param for the ins tag is stating UTC+00:00, which right now would be 7:28 (it's 3:28 in EST), so wtf.

The following [with emphasis added] was excerpted from Eric S. Raymond's How To Ask Questions The Smart Way:

Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to give offence. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bullshit communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy.

When you perceive rudeness, try to react calmly. If someone is really acting out, it is very likely that a senior person on the list or newsgroup or forum will call him or her on it. If that doesn't happen and you lose your temper, it is likely that the person you lose it at was behaving within the hacker community's norms and you will be considered at fault. This will hurt your chances of getting the information or help you want.

    You're not harsh, the new people are just whiney. Feel free to stop correcting my grammar though:)).

    Nah you're fine dude. Don't let the bastards wear you down. 'sides, it's not you. It's them. I've noticed some of them have been acting strange lately there.

    I would not say you're harsh, you just cut the crap and get straight to the point, this is what is needed sometimes, if anyone else thinks different that is their problem.

    Keep up the good work. CCleaner forums would struggle without you.
