Rubbing people the wrong way...

[wyrd]

Maybe its my imagination, but have things gotten a little bit more tense around here? Maybe its my explanation or the way I come off (or others, Ive noticed this with not just myself) but it seems like people are starting to get offended when advice is suggested on efficiency improvements of their app or design. I mean, its just a suggest, they dont HAVE to take it (whos to say the suggestion is correct in the first place).

Can you give an example?

Just take a little wander into that thread and youll see what I mean by tension.

Some people just cant appreciate that others try to help

wryd, I think it probably doesnt help when one person gives advice in good faith only to have another member make a quip about it rather than simply offering alternative advise.

To me it reads as if either side was a bit thinskinned in that debate.


But then I am not a native speaker.

 

[hog]

Yeah, maybe you are right....

Perhaps we should have a joke forum for members to post humour to ease off the stress of thinking about all these programming problems

PS Heike.....what is your avatar by the way??

Heiko.

Thats a lizard that I photographed somewhere between Broken Hill and Silverton during my 2000 Olympic vacation in Australia.

Heiko,
is that a blue tongue lizard (I think thats what theyre called anyway)? My little brother has one for a pet.... (he lives in Oz)..

 

[Heiko]

We didnt do french kissing. I wasnt aware of the blue tongue.

But thanks for the info!

I remember now, hes a Shingle-back Lizard (Trachydosaurus rugosus).
Have a look at this page and scroll right to the bottom:
