I've been thinking to myself, and what someone else
said, put together what a couple people said to come
out to an all out systematic thinking process which
made me uneasy about the people currently subscribed
on
Ruby-Talk.
When you do ignore someone, you certainly don't
announce it. Its provoking and its like beating an
animal with a stick. Its not just going to sit there
and let you beat it with the stick. About what Austin
said earlier about waiting 15 min(which isn't enough
time for even God to have levels of temperature
decrease), and then it occurred to me late at night
when I was about to go to sleep. The people who
responded were just as childish as I was making the
responses. I forgive the ones who didn't read the
conversation from the start.. and maybe a couple
others just because they are Chad's buddy. I can't
expect a friend let some other friend get beat up just
because he was wrong, its just not compatible with
human logic. From a perpective long in computers,
someone is more likely to argue("troll") back to the
other person if there are no restrictions like on IRC.
It seems to be some type of want to humiliate someone
in front of more people. The people who talk bad about
me on this mailing list.. could get a few pointers
from irc(not efnet though ;)) Just because I put no
emotion in my emails don't make it a violent attack,
All the time except ones mentioned are pure
statements/facts.
Anyway, to the ones who are the real aggitators(you
know who you are), the ones who like provoking people
to make them sound even worse, I can certainly make
ruby-talk a living hell for you if you keep iit up. As
I said the internet was secure, I can make ruby-talk a
bloody mess if you don't want to comply.
About my emails I usually send, they are always
written without emotion. I don't care how you
interpret them, but thats exactly how I write them.
there was a few email which I sent out because I was
mad at something else, like the linux bitch one. Also,
the one about sean, and lothar was kinda funny..
because people talk behind everyones back in
#ruby-lang on freenode about people on the mailing
list. In channel and via privmsg. Not only me but some
of the members who have been on the list longer. Yah,
really childish I know, I guess its just a type of
wasting time, I didn't mean for it to come onto the
mailing list.
One other definition you(not everyone) people need to
learn about is a definition called arguing. Its not
trolling, and its certainly not vile. I know CS people
are usually poor at english so they make up words like
trolling, etc etc. It gets old, it got old 15 years
ago, and its still old. Learn how other people speak,
not everyone has the same attitude as *you*, and
certainly everybody is different. Not only by cultural
differences in the language, but by the usages of
other languages which people get used to in thier own
way.
I don't wish for anyone to dislike one just because
thier attitude. And this time it started just because
someone wanted to make a small fib which turned out to
be a big thread of a perfect waste of time. So you
will know what the right thing(tm) is when you get the
time to actually examine people from a distance
instead of trying to beat the dog with a stick and
expect it not to do anything.
Sure, I agree with a certain person waiting to send
email, however I also wouldn't like to be called wrong
especially when I might be right. As said before,
attitude has nothign to do with stone cold facts.
Facts are facts, no matter the person bringing them
out.
Not trying to blame or target anyone in this email, so
I won't mention any names. Getting along is nice sure,
arguments are also considered *fun* to some peopel no
matter how pointless they might be. I'l continue to
work on Ruby code, and hopefully I can release a great
big CMS to get people started on bigger and better
stuff(and fluff). I even thought just about messing
with usemod+the blitz scanner/checker for fun.
Sometimes it makes me think people just don't like
other people who don't immediately contribute back and
earn money off languages. Sure, I earn an efficient
amount of money off programming with ruby, and I
certainly have to eat. Not everyone has the luxury to
share thier knowledge with others, I wish I had time
to share all of mine(the ethical knowledge).
I'll be making very good contributions to the ruby
community. I've said this in the past, and I'll say it
again, "I don't give a damn about what people think."
Then why this email? I don't want any newcommers(or
regs) to think certain people are bad just because a
few other regulars think of a person as bad. One it
gives you and me a bad image later on, and two its
upsetting by 1. replying to the mailing list(which I'm
at fault too) and 2. its just a BWOT(big waste of
time).
Well, time to earn more food and a roof over head.
