Actually, you are wrong again. This was his first post, as far as I can tell:



Look at some of the later stuff but pre-December 23, 2012, when the previous persona was banned.


You weren't there to keep things in balance.


Nonsense. You are making up scenarios to match your pov.

In that specific thread, 9 persons attacked (or voiced support for the attackers). If those 9 had managed to shut up, and let the 14 people that DID try to help (or acknowledge the helping attempt) do their thing, the thread would be an educational one to read for newcomers, and RonJs impression, and subsequent reactions would been different.

As you can upon self-reflection, it is hard for some people to shut up. Pot calling the kettle black here.

To make the picture somewhat more complete, 2 of the 9 later appologized for the initial assumption of him being a troll.


I must also stress that in that particular thread, you (Lin) did try to help, and so did DaSigmaGuy, D Cox, Gary Mercer, SigmaChrome, Dan Daniel, Johan Borg, Atom14, Idiliic, Mike earussi, Ceistinne, Laurence Matson ( a very, very good answer), dMillier, mroy, Charles2 and Gunther Borgermeister. (Hope I didn't leave out any helpful contributor)

Those posters (including yours) is excellent examples of how we SHOULD respond to anyone, regardless of how they phrase their claims or questions.

I am very appreciative of your approval. WOW.
