Could my delivery be nicer? Sure but what fun is that? I'm here to have fun, if people get butt hurt over it that is not my problem.

Isn't it fun to help people? You want to help someone but you want them to think you're an *******? Doesn't really make sense to me since my view is that if I help someone I would want them to listen and appreciate the help else what's the point in trying to help?

And yes you're here to have fun, so is OP, in this case not on your expense though.

But then this is just a rant from me getting older and not enjoying the degradation of the society that has come with the internet generation(s).

/c

Chirbba has spoken, and his judgement is final.

For what it is worth I agree, although I don't think there was anything wrong with loyd's opening reply, but the OP's retort was uncalled for, and then the unsightly exchange which followed with Steepa just dragged the thread to even lower depths.

So, GD as usual.

This is going places. Like deeper into the cesspit this conversation is already trenched inside.

Just to be clear, I've said all this to you Loyd because I want to promote a community where people can come to these forums, ask a question, and not be lamented with condescending comments and insults for it. It's a big reason why these forums aren't populated by a greater number of members of the EVE community. They make a post, they encounter someone like you, and they don't come back. Responses like yours are toxic and that is the only reason why I addressed it to begin with.

I usually just submit petitions to achieve this goal. You may have noticed some regulars have gone missing since I started posting 3-4 months ago . If you read the forum rules you will see your posts many times directly violate them, and you have more or less admitted in this thread that you intend to keep doing it purely as a means of trying to bother me - which in itself is another forum violation. I'll make sure to include all of this in the petition .

Fact is I say what I say on here with pure intentions, you say what you say for much more nefarious reasons. I won't insult you further by detailing that. It was never my intention to begin with and watching you pretend you're not offended is making me feel bad now.

I think your just being paranoid Loyd.

I wouldn't go that far, if that was the case I would have written a hand-holding answer, just trying to get OP to think for himself under less than ideal circumstances. Teach a man to fish yadayada.

Edit: It seems like other folks in the thread have found your problem. If that doesn't fix it, please open a bug report using the reporting tool available from the F12 menu. Feel free to mention my name so I can check it out myself.

Congrats on calling people who are legitimately trying to help you "troll". You'll go far in this game. Keep mining!

The old Greek saying was suypoposedly "give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish, he'll eat forever".

It's incorrectly translated from the ancient greek. The REAL saying is;

"give a man a fish, he'll expect a fish from you tomorrow (Fishbama care), try to teach a man to fish, he'll call you a troll on the internet while starving to death out of spite".

I prefer the Discworld version "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life"

One of my all-time favorite Pratchett quotes! The man has a gift. Now if only he could remember what it was... poor bugger.
