Yes, indeed, most people ask after they do some searches, ..
Gerry, I said I searched, you quoted it. It's my process. If you re-read the thread you can see everything was cordial
up until debiman posted this unwarranted nasty reply:
read:
i was hoping i could dump the tedious process of submitting a bug onto somebody else.
Instead of simply suggesting that perhaps the only recourse *is* to submit a bug report, which as I said many don't know how to do, debiman decided a thinly veiled insult was more apropos.
THAT flippant tone was entirely uncalled for in the discourse and demanded a defense.
In my search of both this forum, and the net in general, I have NOT found a solution to the issue, NOR what the issue actually is, as it is still unknown to a great extent, with few people having fixed their issue, and many NOT.
THAT is why I posted here
by shakman »Perhaps a nice suggestion instead of an "eliteist", un-welcoming smart ass remark is more appropriate for civilized discourse.
A perfectly understandable reply to an unwarranted attack.
Ok, well here is a nice suggestion:
Edit your post and remove the nasty remarks, replace them with something polite , like (example):
You need to address debiman who
initiated the attack.
Responses like debiman's are a sure way to make this an unwelcoming environment for those seeking help.
Code: Select all
Wow.
Thank you for the reply, but ,
1) I am not familiar with the bug submission process (read: me). I didn't even know it exists
2) I asked here, because I am unable to do any searches, and don't know how to determine if the problem has been previously encountered/addressed to get help and direction.
Again, searching this forum was the *first* thing I did, to no avail/solution and I know the bug submission ps exists. Those things in your "edit" above are NOT what I said.
No body else made any remark quite as rude as yours, ...
Not true. Go re-read the sequence of posts. I was clearly and needlessly attacked.
And thank you for the suggestions on the bug reporting mechanism.
@debiman
I clearly said I am not versed enough to handle the issue. LAZINESS is not the issue, that is just another ad hominem attack on your part.
I made it perfectly clear that I was determining if this problem had been encountered more recently by anyone in this forum prior, and how/if they addressed it.
Your flippant attack added absolutely nothing to the conversation.
