good, cos if you post offtopic stuff here, you'll rapidly get flamed to a
crisp.

What exactly is it with you? Why such a daft attitude - do you /like/
people insulting you? Do you /like/ annoying other people?

Let me start with the first question.

I don't particularly like people insulting me, and my guess is that few
people do. Since it's almost universally understood that when you
insult someone they will not like it, why is this newsgroup so
extremely unfriendly? The average regular here comes in two flavors:
those who want to help people for the sake of helping people and
sharing knowledge, and those who want to help people to show off their
knowledge. While the former seem to be genuinely nice people, the
latter seem to represent the darker half of our society and seem only
interested in flaming others and participating in dick swinging
contests. They are, on average, entirely too egotistical for their
actual abilities, and, while they may be the smartest person at their
shithole of a place of employment, they "forget" to give strangers the
courtesy of assuming at least an average level of intelligence. So,
yes, I've read the FAQ, and no, I'm not new to newsgroups, certainly
not comp.lang.*. Regardless of how many times and places the attitudes
of the regulars here and elsewhere are rationalized or explained, they
still remain rude and uncalled for.

As for the second question, yes, occasionally I like annoying other
people, but only when I feel like they really deserve it, and many here
have deserved it for a long, long time. Besides, I don't actually have
the power to annoy you; you, however, have the power to choose to be
annoyed by my actions. Or not.

So, to all the self-titled gurus that fall into my latter category of
regulars, I have a bit of advice: rethink your dogmatic viewpoints,
quit being such absolute dickheads, don't let yourself get annoyed over
very little things, and try smiling once in a while.

Its not. Typically, when someone posts offtopic, they get politely pointed
elsewhere. This happened to you.

However when they then persist in asking offtopic stuff, or reply saying
"screw you, I can post what I like" or otherwise insult the group, THE they
get an unfriendly response. This happened to you. I refer you to your
sarcastic and rude response to Chuck's redirection.

Perhaps you ought to consider which of us is being an arrogant dickhead?
