Re: Screen Saver

Etiquette bullies crap. I for one didn't offer any help because I didn't know of any. You are a rather short sighted person and selfcentered if you don't realize that you were rude as other have. Not everyone on this list is an expert or guru and they have just as much right as you do just because they are here and use the list. It's great that Rashkee found the solution for you maybe you wont be too rude until your next post.

Ahh Ray Parrish, you are the one that better calm
down. I've followed you
thread from start to finish but it's so long
that I and I expect most everyone else can't remember
all the things suggested and tried. Your attitude is not
one that inspires the list to help you. And your response
to the one offering a suggestion below is uncalled for even
if you've tried it. You need to either grow up or turn
the heat on sooner when cold weather comes so it doesn't
freeze your brain. There was no call for your response to
the person trying to help you out. Frankly, I don' t
give a damn if you ever solve your screen saver issue as
it's not a critical problem anyway.


He says he has a couple of decades of experience. In
all probability he
is the type of typical "guru" bully one
would find on unix related news
groups. You know, the type who always belittles the
novice user and have
hardly anything else to say to a noobie except
"RTFM". You are right, it
is their kind's attitude. Whoever in this world is
not perceived as
smarter than them is a lower mortal to them and they
think it is their
godly duty to point out the weaknesses in those
'pathetic noobies or
kiddies'.

He had a choice: either to politely remark that he had
already tried
that or to be crass. He chose the latter, which,
incidentally takes
longer to communicate! Go figure.






Yes, a couple of decades of experience using DOS, and
various versions
of Windows... I've been using Ubuntu Linux now for
about six months, and
I like it, and have started using it almost exclusively,
since Windows
makes me wait so damn much when I switch programs that it
makes it hard
to get anything done. So far, Linux hasn't been doing
that much.

Frankly, I was thinking you two were the "guru
bullies" as you have
contributed nothing to this thread other than off topic
criticisms of my
supposedly "rude" treatment of someone, who
wasn't interested enough in
the problem to even check out what had already been done
yet. You should
hang out in the Microsoft newsgroups for a while and get a
taste of what
"rude" really is. They are totally unmoderated,
and some of the people
on there are real trolls.

I'm trying to solve a problem here that affects all
users of Ubuntu, and
will affect the way others just coming to Linux see it as
an operating
system.

I wasn't "rude" in the first place... I just
suggested he read the whole
thread first to see what had already been tried before
offering
suggestions, if you guys can't take that you are far
too thin skinned. I
didn't get mad until he wrote back, and tried to make
out that I had
insulted him or something for giving him a pointer on group

participation, that I have often seen others give to
thoughtless people,
for jumping into the middle of something without checking
it out first.

You two are etiquette bullies, and have done nothing to
help with the
topic of this thread.

Later, Ray Parrish
