Dom3 DB Version 3.15

[Aezeal]

Ehm Endo htf should I have know he wasn't in any mood to be humoured it's on the net, I don't see him. I got his message about it/read his reaction on it only after I posted (it's usually like that). Not to mention that even in real live pplz usually ask me not to do certain stuff if the don't like what I'm doing.

I just DL-ed 3.17 upgrade and see this thread about something .15.. so I mention 3.17... it's normal, I think it's sort of funny (which is why I posted it in the first place) and not at all inappropriate, I didn't demand anything (not in here but that is how he calls it in his PM to me). I don't say he's gotta think it's funny, but acting like I'm the source of all evil is a bit much.

Ow and Max, if you think his reaction is normal I will have to disagree, because my post was not rude, and his reaction could be consider somewhat rude. (my reply is a different matter (see below))

To which I would like to add that our following conversation (PM) was much more civil (from both sides, I'm the first to admit I react very badly, agressively and rude on insults)

Aezeal,

If it were just this thread I'd agree with you, but you've interacted with Edi before about the PDFs and that exchange went sour too. I don't think you can justifiably claim to be surprised. By the way, the proper judge of whether something is "not at all inappropriate" is not a speaker but his audience.

I agree that Edi's response was also rude, but I have limited sympathy for your current situation.

Edit: removed provocative comment.

Max I've read the previous "encounter" (thx to Edi) and IMHO there is humour all over it.

Hmmm. Let me lighten up for a second here--it's possible that you don't realize when you're coming across as offensive. You're right in that the Internet can make it hard to tell sometimes, and makes it easy to be unintentionally rude.

The essence of courtesy to "to accomplish your goals without unintended harm to others." The corollary is that it's quite possible to be rude without meaning to, simply by not understanding how other people are likely to react to your words. I wish you better luck in your future interactions. Accidental rudeness is not something I'm immune to, either.

Aezeal may have inadvertently got the ball rolling here with an attempt to be funny, which I can certainly relate to, but he did not pull the trigger and as he pointed out, he had the good sense not to poke further, unlike paparapa whose 14th career post in 2 years was a doozy. Nice work dude.

Anyway, when you are the beneficiary of something it is smart to be delicate about it. Whether someone's reaction seems unusually harsh to you doesn't really matter. It was clear Edi was bothered by the sense of entitlement that had become something of a bogbeast kind of joke around here and he decided to draw the line. That was when the investor in me figured it was time to download any Edi work product because you know there is always some punk that wants to make a name for himself, and in this case it was paparapa.

Ok let's just leave it at this, I still disagree with max and about all his courtesy and appropriate commments I have quite a lot to say but it's not really going anywhere really. Edi had a bad day and what happened happened. Let's forget it and not dwell on anyones bad day, bad comments or whatever anymore.

Maybe it's even best to close the thread since we can't really expect much on-topic (on original topic that is) posts anyway. More posts can only get more reactions that serve no real purpose.

Well, I'm saddened to see such an invaluable resource to the Dom community be ganked by some forum noob being an idiot.

Thanks for all the work you've put in Edi. Just wanted to say that instead of staying part of the *silent* majority.
