Complaining

I find it irritating that people that post here, get the usual responses, with a little of the normal side tracking, and then come back on line to criticize the answers received!

I think it is rude and most certainly arrogant to judge the responses received.

If that person is so good why are they asking?

Kinda like drowning and then complaining about the rope tossed to them.

Have others noticed this or am I just a grump?

    I see the same questions, and of course the same answers, over and over again.

    But from time to time I also learn something new.

    That said: Some folks do something very stupid and the answer translates basically to "Throw Money At It, Lots OF Money" (Seek professional help). They do not want to do that, They were hoping to fix the problem for say 10 bucks, when they find it's going to be more like 10 C-notes (or in my case 10 Grand).

    Oh well.. I'm not complaining, but .. Well I may shave several thousand off that 10 grand due to folks on assorted forums.
  • Criticizing anything is fraught with danger on here. It's too easy to kill the messenger.

    No more irritating than the people who don't bother to read either the OP or the replies and then post some irrelevant drivel or argumentative reply and then get really offended when someone points it out.
  • Not to be outdone by the people who respond to a legitimate post in a condescending tone. Rude is rude regardless.
  • You might log how many responses give evidence that the person responding hasn't read or understand the post they are responding to. And you might note how often answers on page 2-3-4 are now completely off topic. God bless anyone taking time to be helpful. I'm not sure if it's trolling or responses irrelevant to the topic that irritate me more.
  • I think a lot of the posters here have their heart set on doing it one way and when they don't get confirmation, it upsets them.
