Someone explain something to me...
Ok, I've been on this board for a little under three weeks and I've noticed something. There seems to be a lot of jabs, underhanded attacks, open flaming, and whatnot being spewed forth onto the message boards. Message boards that I come to every day (I work the 7 to 4 shift at work) to try to help people out with anything I can, ask questions, be around peers, and generally have a good time. For the most part, I've had that but after reading a LOT of flaming posts of outright attacks from one poster to another, I'm seriously wondering why this has to happen. You want real problems? Get laid off like I did on Oct 4 and try to find a job as a unix admin in this economy. That's something to worry about, not some useless drivel that someone might call an insult. Others I worked with got let go the same day and they've got families, bills, etc... I feel for them as I'm working now while some are still looking. You want real problems? Look at the victims of everything current from 6 months ago onward. That's real problems. Look at those who have family serving in the military overseas during *CHRISTMAS* in a war-torn environment. And some of you have grudges? **** that noise, get over it...if we can't all work together on making AO a great place to interact with peers, then I guess I should pack up and leave because God alone knows I'm not going to stick around and listen to this high-school bullshit that some people flaunt. Have you (any of the flagrant flaming posters) ever considered what a know-nothing newbie might think because if I (and I consider myself more than a little knowledgeable when dealing with computers) get irritated after reading so many of these every day, how do you think they'd feel after reading *1*? Gah,
I'm not very happy now so I'm gonna go delete someone's user directory or something...
Let the madness stop!
We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.
