@ethin no dude, you're the one who needs to grow up. I'm seriously sick of seeing your posts because all you do is put people down, I'm not the most sun shiny person, and I will find problems with things, but I try not to imply the person I'm addressing is a moron. I am direct, even blunt, and I know this doesn't always sit well with folks. You take this to a whole new level, yes, some programmers are this way, but look at all the ones in this community who aren't, meanwhile, you walk around with a proverbial halo on your head acting like people should get down on their knees and warship you.
Let me just say, in case you legitimately didn't know, because some people struggle with social issues, you are not helping people, you're putting them down, making them feel like pieces of shit to make yourself feel better and that's immature, childish, and not the type of thing we need here. Every one of your posts is a slight against someone or some thing. You can't help but spew your opinions in here, even when you've beat the horse to death, you come back for one more kick. It's not constructive, and its not healthy.
Also, for all this supposed programming knowledge you have, I've seen zero from you as far as working code, so that's one area where you haven't backed up what you've said. So put your money where your mouth is and show us you have this knowledge you proclaim far and wide.
I think a bunch of us have tried to get through to you that what you're doing is not cool, but it just doesn't have any effect. you just need to tear people down to build yourself up, its not a healthy dynamic, and you'll never have any real friends that way. When I say real friends, I'm not talking about people you hang out with on skype or team talk, I'm talking about the type of friends who would drop anything they're doing and come if you needed them, and, a good friend would be willing to reciprocate in that same way. This is something you will not ever experience until you stop with the attitude, stop with the arrogance, stop with the god complex, and get your head back down to earth, instead of floating up in the clouds. Only when you've done this, and can see the mistakes you've made, can you move forward, and begin to really live.
Until that day, I would take it as a kindness, and I'm sure a lot of other people would too that you just quit this destructive criticism of everyone's programming skills, quit trying to incite drama and flaming, and just chill out.
P.S. Mods, I've really tried here to be as direct and make my point while trying to stay inside the rules here. I hope you don't find any problems here, as I've taken sections and rewritten them several times to try to make my point without stepping over the line.
