Can you just stop being constantly annoyed about what happens on internet? BTW Project Farm tested it, and it's actually one of the best ratcheting screwdrivers.
I don't think you could know if I'm annoyed (about a screwdriver? Annoyed? Lol). You don't have the luxury of mind-reading, and since I'm a stranger and all you have to go on is a very superficial level of perception, and you've extrapolated the rest (as has the entire populus of those who berate members for having strong views, with which they don't agree)
... Oh well, I'll let you think I'm "annoyed" then. Okay.
Pack behaviour and peer pressure is hilarious in eevblog forums. So many attacking others for the very things they are blind to (often to a far worse degree!) in themselves.
I can’t tell whether you’re just trying to gaslight everyone by claiming you’re not annoyed, or whether you’re actually unhinged enough to not recognize that you’re annoyed, and actually believe you’re not.
Yes, you’re annoyed. The fact that you took time to write a nastygram about the damned thing makes it clear. Your choice of words make it clear.
Everyone is tired of your stupid threads to complain about stuff. And you were warned to stop doing so less than 2 weeks ago.
When did you major in psychology, or mind-reading? You’ve literally no idea what I’m thinking, how I feel, where I live or who I am.
If I may humbly offer a little advice which I’m pretty sure you’ll ignore, since you presume to know me and know my feelings (which is preposterously impossible). Nonetheless, here’s some advice, up to you what you do with it:
Don’t TAKE offence if it’s not being given to you.
Don’t wilfully allow random strangers online to wind you up and steal your peace.
I post because I want to post, and I’m sure that I make my fair share of mistakes. However, I expect the intelligence and maturity of those reading, will afford them to see the wisdom in not taking to heart what some random stranger writes - this should be the case EVEN MORE so if the post isn’t directly and explicitly addressed to the person taking the offence (that wasn’t given in the first place).
I have strong views. Sorry you don’t agree with me. You’re clearly unaware that despite my being negative or moaning a fair bit (which I’m not gonna deny), maybe you’ve yet to meet the SERIOUSLY vile, nasty and disturbed regulars I see here, and whom have a truly cold and vindictive manner of response. I’m not one of those, but nonetheless, if you disagree with my approach WALK ON BY. You’re not held against your will, tied to a chair at gunpoint.
I’ve had to force myself to stand back and laugh, whenever people “get offended” by such utter piffling trivia online, usually forums and Twitter, because you have to WANT to be angry, and that says more of the one taking offence than the one unintentionally showing “anger” as you so firmly believe of me.
I’ve nothing to prove to a stranger, and I’d maybe counsel you to not feel you have to justify yourself to anyone, so long as you’re also not being ghastly and deliberately rude or attacking someone personally.
As I’ve often seen parroted on this very forum “we are very opinionated engineers” and “grow a thick skin and put up with it” or variations thereof, yadda yadda.
Now, either that’s true, or it’s hypocritical as certain members pick and choose to whom that applies. In either case, I’m a stranger to you and I shouldn’t ruffle your feathers. You’re one to me, and with the utmost respect to you and to everyone else here, I respect your views and talents, but your opinions of me are meaningless, and my need to “justify” my views ain’t ever gonna happen - why would I, so long as I’m not being vile and cruel or plain nasty? I wouldn’t and won’t defend a passionate feeling for a subject. Don’t like it? Don’t have to read it, do you.
