Can't stand those kinds of places... when I used to be into the hacker community, you could tell who was worth a damn and who wasn't by how much they tried to show off the size of their e-penis. It's funny how some forums/online communities are basically troll lairs. I mean, at the end of the day, who gives a rat's arse over what browser you use, or what open source OS you prefer, etc. Some peoples' lives are so wrapped up in BS status competitions... they need to take a step back and assess themselves.Red Squirrel wrote: Oh they just get pissy if I ask a "stupid" linux question, so I kept asking more.It's pretty much all smartasses there, if you don't know every programming language inside out and post there you're pretty much toast and going to get flamed.
The debate section is also pretty nasty, people take IE vs Firefox, PHP vs ASP, windows vs linux topics VERY seriously.
Later on I want to write a bot that stalks on the ones that flammed me the most, but I have to get bothered to actually write it.
The best is the fact that my username was redsquirrel so I just reregistered as redsquirel (one R) and replies to a topic after I got banned, which invoked the permaban. hehe. fun.

Yep that's exactly how they are, chances are in real life they're rejects because of it, too.Stasi wrote:Can't stand those kinds of places... when I used to be into the hacker community, you could tell who was worth a damn and who wasn't by how much they tried to show off the size of their e-penis.
