Yeah great. You're a "full member" simply because you post every day about stuff that everyone has already told you how they feel about.
Not just that...I also post about other things, work on Sourceforge...not like this thread is my life
I'm not about to apologize for having being brought to the breaking point. Smites and all, I don't care.
Ok, fine don't apologize. I won't take any offense to it. You just have a low breaking point
. However, the faster we can get this whole thing behind us, the better.
You're not a contributing member. You're a "director wannabe" who has no interest in actually doing any of the actual work that's already been laid out by the likes of PhyrePhox and others.
OK...I agree I am a direct wannabe. It's in my nature. Just like it's your nature to have a low breaking point, it's my nature to want to control. However it is not necessarily a bad thing. Some good can come from it too.
Next, I do "actual work". Example, working to make the site easy for the n00bs. I think that IS actual work. Making it easy for n00bs to download, install, and use CHDK is the most important job there is by my opinion.
I might not live up to your standards of what a "contributing member" must do, but I do my best! I work with the skills I have to make CHDK as good as it can be. I actually care about this project. Why else would I spend hours of my time, which I could be outside, enjoying the features of CHDK, typing away on this forum, trying to make it better.
CHDK needs people to do this work, not more people to decide what work needs to be done. So who are you to come in here and start a slew of threads on nothing but how to improve something that everyone is quite happy with as it is, without offering to do any of the needed work? Who are you to RE-insist that approaching Canon for their source code with a stupid thread of boycott after the topic has already been beaten to death?
I think that giving ideas is a good thing...You never know, maybe 1/10 of those ideas will be a success. Even for that, I think I should suggest all 10 ideas.
OK..ok...I said I would stop talking about it. As I said before,
I have my opinion, you have yours.. We don't need to discuss it.
And you guys say that I was "over the top"!
PhyrePhox, I'm sorry you think I stepped over the line (and probably smited me, as well), but only because you're a moderator, and I know full well how this forum works as far as that.
First Kitty, you did overreact (by my opinion). I was not saying anything to hurt you in the thread. And then you come out with all that offensive language. Again, that's your nature, I don't blame you.
I'll be smited now just because I've been smited. That's how it works around here. Once people see you've been smited a bit, they tend just to smite you for no reason. (Like how on earth did someone as nice as you are to everyone get smited?![/i] See my point?)
Tell me about it. I feel the same way. Overnight, I went from 12 smites to 24 O.o. Another thing I don't get. What's the point of the smite feature if you are not telling the person why you are smiting him...Kinda pointless.
With some people, "nice talk" isn't enough. They'll just keep going on and on and on, asserting themselves all the while, and apparently believing that so long as they exhaust everyone else and they are the last one left standing after they've beaten the topic into the ground, they're automatically correct. Some people simply don't get it and need to be told that enough is enough, already.
Ok...some people are like that. I am not that kind of person. I am a debater though. That is MY nature. I think, if there are still reasons left, I should post them. If you had told me nicely, to stop talking about it, that it has been talked about, listed your reasons, I probably would have stopped. Then I would have a relatively good smite count, you wouldn't have your smites, we would not be having this conversation, and we would be as friendly with one another as that day when I PMed you asked what you avatar meant.
If you want, we can start over. I am not going to hold what you said to me in this thread against you. Forget this thread ever happened. And next time, when I start talking about these topics which you disagree about, just send me a message, PM me. I really don't like to be in this kind of situation with people, whether I am right or wrong.
If no one else will do it, then I will, and if that makes me CHDK's "forum bad guy", to be bombarded with "smites" to my "karma", then so be it. But someone had to set this guy straight.
OK...be the bad guy. What good will it do me? What good will it do you. OR you can be the "forum good guy", like wontolla, and whenever I go off on a tangent, you send me a friendly PM. That way, we both win.
Great. Smite me again. But I'm not simply going to take it on the chin.
And BTW, I didn't actually use "foul language". If you're privy to such language in which you could fill in the blanks and assume as such, that's not my fault.
....I am not even going to respond to that...Oh wait I just did
(laugh here)
Anyways, Kitty, forget this thing, it's over. It was a controversial topic, and you (and me) got a bit over-excited. Just calm down...be your regular self. Don't be "the forum bad guy".
