Maybe I'm out of the loop or something because I don't think this shit is funny.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
Oh you mean the part where I said "it's murphy, FYI"? You seriously took offense to that? You think that was mean of me? You think that's me "giving you shit out of fucking nowhere"?
That's too bad. If I was saying someone's name wrong, I would want to be corrected.
You call it "giving you shit out of fucking nowhere on petty technicalities."
I call it clarifying the details of LED operation and LED construction to help someone better understand his project.
I actually agreed with most of what you said and added to it. I wasn't rude about any of that and I never meant offense by offering technical details. If you've taken offense, maybe you have an ego problem.

Maybe you have autism, because you clearly don't know how to communicate in a decent way.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
Hold on a second, if I am giving someone advise about something they are building, something they asked for feedback on and someone else has a better way, PLEASE do not worry about my feelings, help the person with better advise, or share your thoughts, we can debate the facts, we may all learn.
When peoples feelings or ego's become viewed as more important than facts we will not get anywhere, how are we to learn if people with a better way are afraid to talk, or even a different view.
Sensitive ego's have no place in science, just like emotions have no place in a poker game.
I can't tell you how many times I have helped someone understand something to see someone else with more info come along and I learn something too.
Learning and sharing views on technical aspects should never take a back seat to someone's ego, nor should any of us want it to.

Forum drama is toxic and stressing me out. I didn't get into that in that thread, and wish not to here either. I already regret it.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
You are way too easily stressed.
You're even getting stressed over "shit not being funny".
Consider that if everything is stressing you out, maybe it's not EVERYTHING that is the problem, it's you?
But enough of this crap already, let's get back to

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
We're here to have fun, no need to get stressed out
That's why others are making light of this whole thing.
Maybe I'm just insensitive though. Jokes that offend others always crack me up.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
Look when I first came here way back in 2015....I thought Cyparagon was a little direct, just like he always is with everyone, I have come to appreciate that and am not offended.
Why would you be offended by the smart direct guy being direct just like he always is with everyone?
Maybe if you just got here it would make sense.
If you want to be extra polite and broach with " maybe you gentlemen would like to consider my differing viewpoint on the matter. "
But what you said about FxxK this and X%&*& that is more offensive than someone being direct with facts.
May I be so bold as to suggest you possibly try to accept different people as they are and observe the core written etiquette and be less critical of the unwritten etiquette. There is a reason it's unwritten.
p.s Why sweat the small stuff, the world is crashing around us.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
As far as autistics go, which of course cyparagon isn't, truth is autistics are no less deserving of respect than anyone else, some of them have amazing abilities far surpassing "normal". So to throw that out as an insult is just plain wrong, sorry.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
Autism has very broad and vague spectrum. Showing lack of empathy can be one of the qualities. I did not mean it as an insult. Call it as a "direct fact", if you want. I've seen Cyp snap at dumb noobs and not thought much of it as an issue, but I do take offense when it comes at me, I admit. Maybe I should try come back next year. I don't feel like getting involved in anything more anyway.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
I've been on the receiving end of that problem here myself and agree with you, I don't like it either when noob's are run off either for various things, I like it even less though when someone comes in here with a bunch of sock puppets and plays with members for the fun of it, asking for help in different areas they full well know the answers to just to manipulate people as one recently banned member has been doing with proxies.
Truth is, I haven't been following the thread lately, I just saw that post and thought, hey, don't use that as an example, I know someone who is autistic and don't like that being thrown out as an insult, that's all. I'm not holding it against you, just wanted to express my thoughts.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
I was going to ask you how you would have worded my post in the LED thread, but I now think it's... rather ill-advised to take communication advice from someone that thinks it's socially acceptable to call someone autistic and swear at them 4 days later for correcting you.

Honestly, I'm thinking this guys account was hacked, maybe he used a common password someone was able to guess.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!!
I could have reacted to you instantly in that thread, but it is against my principles to cause drama. It feels so dumb and childish. I mentioned it now here, as I saw that others have issue with you too.
The reason for my reaction is that you wrote me of like a noob, and not like one of your peers. I had been off the for a while forum (I don't recognize ~90% of the names here), and trying to get into the motions again, and that was REALLY bad timing. Also for my language, it is just common to cuss where I'm from, especially when it gets emotional.
