Well he did say he's been programming for As long as I've been alive :)
I just did as well. Not your typical introductory thread... Wow.Quote:

That thread wasn't just an "I hate MS" thread, it was pretty much an "I hate MS, I hate life, and I hate you, too." thread. It was kind of sad, but it certainly suggests an avatar or two. It would either be one of the old muppets or Oscar the Grouch.
I can't believe he said:
That's just sad.Quote:
Angry attitude towards life? Hmmm. I have been trying to kill myself since I was 16. Unfortunately, I am better at programming than killing myself.
Yeah, that was a pretty amazing statement.
However, what would be REALLY sad is if he wasn't a good coder.
Now I can't look.
Trolls tend to say stupid **** like that. Trolling is about provoking emotions and a statement like that is definitely designed to provoke some kind of emotional response.Quote:

To be fair, I think I was at least a little bit at fault. When I first responded I meant to keep it light but his immediate assumption that I must be new to IT and completely inexperienced if I didn't think that Microsoft were the root of all evil just wound me up and I felt I had to respond. I probably should have let it drop alot earlier.
I'm afraid it always irritates me a bit when people assume you're stupid if you don't agree with them. That just not right. I mean, obviously you're stupid if you don't agree with me but not agreeing with anyone else is fine.
As far as I'm concerned you did nothing wrong FD.
Yep.... that's moar!
Whoa. I forget about the thread and come back to Super Girl pictures? Heck yes.
Those where some tig ol' bitties!
