Then you are obviously not following your own bits of advice by saying that in the first place.
Quote: "Naming him forum troll"
No I didn't. Infact I didn't name anyone a forum troll. I was simply pointing out the many posts that are made saying how to make the forum a better place.
Quote: "taking into doubt his disorder/making fun of the disorder ("your phobia's")"
I did not doubt his disorder, I said I had no evidence that he had the problem. Someone else said he had it. You are assuming I have read something elsewhere when I have not. Making fun of the disorder? No, he was called a jerk for being insensitive when I only suggested he did not have the foggiest of him having a disorder.
Quote: "wouldn't it be good to also take care of that in case hessiess shares my opinion?"
Considering he hasn't said a word, then what exactly is your point?
Quote: "I have a relative who is deaf who played radio just not to have people noticing he was deaf. Anyone who asked him insulted him - people differ. Sueing would be rather impossible, so that's quite a lovely statement"
Once again you prove my point.
Quote: "Where do you see me suggesting anything? I'm answering a possible future question (preventive, just as the excuse I'm talking about would be)."
Fine. Then it is now you making assumptions that perhaps should stay in your mouth. Again, what's your point?
At the end of the day you seem to be angry that I insulted the bloke. Explain again why you think I did? As far as I remember I thought it was harsh to call Three Score a jerk for suggesting he use a spell checker. As far as I can see you are the one apparently claiming I am this insensitive bloke. Apology from you I would say.
Quote: "I can fully assure you this is not true"
Great. Well done.
Quote: "I think the post is more than enough evidence"
Ok, so total assumption then? So if a man walks across the road without looking and gets run over then he is obviously blind? Whatever. Now you are pointing fingers. It's not as if we called him names (you did by labing him as a dyslexic, whether he is or he isn't) or anything, just suggested a spell checker might help. Hell, look at my very old sig. *I* could use a spell checker (like how I was being serious there).
Quote: "It cannot hurt to have a spell checker"
So whats you point? Again. As for a mod being a person, well yes of course, I remember when most of them were newbies here. All I'm saying is they are supposed to enforce the rules of the forum, so a little better than your average shmoe.
Quote: "What did possibly hurt is the undertone and content"
Er, ok. So your opinion again. A suggestion of a spell checker and a thought that Ben was a little harsh to Three Score....
Quote: "didn't know that"
Yeah, apparently it can be (so some reports suggest, but I don't think it is totally proven). My sister is effected to a lesser degree (Anorexia and panic attacks mainly) and I thought I was fine. Not so sure after 5 rounds of redundancies where I work though... Stress kills. Which is why I am in Cyprus now. My old landlord used to have it too (used to leave postit notes saying "Help Me" everywhere just before a breakdown, which my dad had when in the RAF). 2 of his kids have signs, with one of them definitely having it (Lithium tablets etc).
Quote: "can never hurt if it can spare someones feeling"
Fair enough. If it upset Hessiess then I am sorry. I suppose I'm a little annoyed because I normally treat most people extremely carefully. Hell, I remember once being careful to not mention caravans to a new friend just incase they were a bit of a gypsy or something. Slightly over the top. Plus I'm stressed out at work a bit. Honestly, never thought I would say I am a bit fed up of programming for a living. Stupid MasterCard... Which reminds me, better get back to it...
Cheers
Ps. This reminds me; Raven has been a little quiet recently
I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
