Teaching a Rock to swim...

[the evil twin]

Like many here I am a member of several forums and it never ceases to amaze me how prevalent it has become for people to ask for help then argue with you that you are wrong when you offer advice or post up a solution.

I call it "Teaching a Rock Syndrome" in that it would be easier to teach a rock to swim than get them to admit they have something wrong be it in their understanding or methods.

Last night I was in a discussion where approx a dozen posters all pointed out an error in a blokes troubleshooting and there was no way he and one other member was having a bar of our views.

Now, in itself thats OK but, IMHO if you don't want to agree and you don't know shit about a subject just say thanks and move on

In the end I told them to piss off and fix it themselves because I was going to go and teach a rock to swim as it would be less stressful and have a whole lot better chance of success.

I don't think I'm on their Chrissy Card list anymore...

WTF.... You get on peoples Chrissy card list????. Your such a brown nose LOL

"Teaching a Rock Syndrome" I'll have to remember that one. But yes it still amazes me how may people post like they know, but have NFI.

I'm guessing it's not related but I noticed D/S didn't respond to your post.

Hiya Rodney, hows things?

It is related kinda but he's not the main culprit.

He is just totally awesome fun to bait tho... dunno how he missed it... might have to throw in some more berley

Oh the good old pet peeve of mine... OP asks if it's black or white. You answer it's Black and then OP argues that you're wrong and it is in fact white... So why ask the sheep if you're a genius ??
As an ex-roamer and mod of some fairly large PC forums, I know that all too well.

Things are good. Hope they are the same on your side of the world.

He didn't miss it. He just couldn't respond to it. There was no opportunity to subliminally promote his own course.

It's a bit like trying to tell me the benefits of taking my 4.2 TDi off the bitumen. lol

I actually mean across Forums in general but if you mean on P4x4, then yeah, probably.
There is one on there that has been a bit of a forehead slapper in the last couple of days... hehehehe

I know im no angel when it comes to going off topic in a thread, but this one went tropo very quickly. Get the popcorn out and go have a read....
