You know what, Circo busted his ass for this community, so if he wants to ask if the sky is blue here, he should be fully within his rights to do so. Why do you think everyone puts up with your negative opinionated posts Howard? I know Budda is promoting the wiki, but why not just suggest he could also find the answers there? Circo, you've more than earned my respect just like Howard and Budda has, so feel free to ask away and we will be more then happy to point you to the wiki and also answer the questions if we can. 
Huh? I didn't say anything about circo. He asked a legitimate question. Budda gave a legitimate (and most correct I might add) answer. Then we had the peanut gallery chime in and waste everyone's time saying: "Ooo let me help, you know the fe that I have a vested interest in? It just happens to do it too. I won't mention any of the others though as I'm only interested in telling you that my own personal favorite can do it." And I'm not a mind reader. This comments might very well be self-less, but I'm a pretty smart guy and when it doesn't look that way to me then it's probably a safe bet that some others are seeing said-posts in a similar light. It makes it look like all the fe devs, and all the fe fanboys are at war with each other. Again I don't think good intentions ever harmed anyone, I just think it ends up looking bad when you only mention your favorite like that. And as you can clearly tell by this mis-understanding how things look is far more important to the community than how much you help or what your intentions are. If this wasn't the case then I wouldn't constantly be attacked for trying to be helpful (although admittedly blunt) while people who aren't particularly helpful (dear god I don't mean anyone in this particular thread so don't even go there) are praised for contributing when all they really do is give nice responses with no actual answers or advice in them.
The best, and most un-biased answer is to just point to a list like budda did. If the list isn't updated enough, THEN we need to look into it.
This really doesn't matter though because you know I was half-way kidding in the first place. I even put up the "grumpy" icon to let you guys know I was just being picky.
Apparently not only can you not say anything bad about things in general on this board, for fear that the one person you weren't talking about will naturally assume you were talking about them, but you can't be subtle with sarcasam/humor either.
Let's try this...... hold on, here comes a joke. Be ready, I'm just kidding. Are you ready??? Ok, one more warning.
[Sarcastic Joke]
Sheesh, did this board turn into a collective of 16 year old girls?
[/Sarcastic Joke]
Finally yet AGAIN someone (this time Circo, unfortunately) took a GENERALIZED comment I made about people that aren't willing to look for answers and thought I was talking about him. Look at my post guys the whole entire post was about how lately this happens in every other thread. Why in the world would you guys think that I was talking about every thread for my whole post and suddenly insult poor old circo at the end for no apparent reason? You guys make me out as some kind of monster.
Circo you took it farily well considering, but I still don't appreciate the sarcasam. However if I were to have taken what I said personally I probably would have said something similar. I don't see how a person could take that personally as I didn't mention anyone, but oh well. Regardless, I'm sorry if I offended you.
Again, apparently you have to type real slow here or people can't follow.
Next time I'll write in crayon, scan it in, and post the image here. (That was one of those "joke" things, don't panic, jokes aren't real. There's no such thing as 2.)
You know I normally censor responses to "misunderstandings" like this for the sake of keeping the peace, but lately everyone seems to be out to get me. You would think after all the stuff I do that people would cut me a little bit of slack instead of jumping on me when they
think I've been rude.
Perhaps, by posting this unfiltered post to the people who were nice about it, and another, less nice post on another thread to a similar misunderstanding in which someone was very rude about it people will finally get that I am NOT the enemy here and I am NEVER rude. I'm just honest.
While some people will censor their opinon for fear of one person taking it the wrong way, I feel it's better to give the full opinon. The majority won't take it personally and it makes it easier to get a point across.
What do you people want from me? Blood? An apology?
Fine....
I'm sorry for being naturally witty, concise and detailed with my answers... for being ruggedly-handsome and an all around nice guy.
Whew... Now that I've said it I feel a lot better. I feels good to apologize for one's faults every once in a while.
