What I hate about this group---
In my puny little world, I think this group is a highlight of the
internet. I can instantly get my house problems analyzed by dozens of like minded folks, expert to hacks like me, it is just a great place however--- WHAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE - about the group is this: Quite often someone posts a benign problem, and a core group of judgemental fools jump in berating the poster. Some examples: Post: How do I soundproof a room? Answer: Learn to control your kid Post: How do I get nicotine stain off the ceiling? Answer: Stop Smoking Post: I developed a new, simple device to lock the tv Answer: learn to control your kid Etc etc-- It really is naseating that this minority of pompous self-rightous gasbags feel the need in interject their redneck view of the world onto anyone who chooses to live life a slightly different way than they do. Get a life people, if you feel the need to dispense advice, hit the "Dr. Phil" website and pontificate all you want. On this site, I only want to know how to lay a better bead of caulk, not how good parents were "back in the day" sheeeessh |

My gripe is not about the internet, it is about the great minority on
this board who act like fools and love to be moralists on this board. I like this board... it is a shame that some losers spend time on it bashing others lifestyles, rather than sharing their knowledge about home.repair it is just kind of sad.. to have such a great resource poluted with the peabrains. |

My gripe is not about the internet, it is about the great minority on this board who act like fools and love to be moralists on this board. I like this board... it is a shame that some losers spend time on it bashing others lifestyles, rather than sharing their knowledge about You're inferring moralism and bashing where none is implied. It's simply that many people who actually fix real things that have to actually work when they're done have developed a habit of fixing the problem, not the symptom. And when the problem is a child, that's where they advise you to direct your effort. If you've got special circumstances that make doing that impossible, then it's your fault for not accurately describing your constraints. |
boo hoo hoo. What a crybaby you are.

I love to help people but every now and then I will post an answer that is really a lame attempt at humor. You'll live longer (from less stress) if you just ignore the answers you don't like.

I think this group is tame compared to some.
And the putdowns are usually gentle and/or funny. What I do hate is the OT people but then they are everywhere. It is not a forum for politics, purveyors of porn or the Jesus jockies. And I find that it has some of the worst spelling on any newsgroup. But hey, it's more good than bad. I've had problems solved and solved a few myself. I've found people to be friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and they often don't just post a reply but e-mail me directly. ds wrote in message oups.com...

Or, someone asks a question which, if they stood still, got quiet, and used their heads for a moment, they'd realize MUST require a very intricate response (soundproofing, for example). Then, they might realize that there are entire books written on the subject, and that they'd should get to the library, book store, or the book section at Home Depot. Since the person posted the question, it's clear that they did NOT think first. That suggests they might be lazy. Or, maybe they actually expect someone to type up a 20 or 300 page response for them about soundproofing. Depending on the mood of the person reading the question, it could be interpreted as "I type before I think, and I like to get beat up in response." :-) |

its like dealing with people in the real world, you find truly careing
techs whose purpose in life is to help you out,,,,ones that think you shouldnt learn anything from them or anyone else that knows,,, those who joke about everything ,and those who try to antagonize and or insult, play jokes on everyone. take them with a grain of salt and youll be ok.but i must say, the intent of these groups is to help people with subject related problems , not to antagonize others.so it baffles me why people come here intent not to help. but its open to everyone so like everything else in life youll have to put up with them of just leave... lucas |

I think this group has a lot of great knowledge and insight. And
usually the anwers are pretty good. Some answers are questionable but for free advice, it probably equlivelant to asking the guy standing next to you at HD. The good natured ribbing and jokes have to be taken in humor. And some critisim is deserved. If you post do some research and make your posts with detail, you will usually get reasonable answers.
