If there is no problem, then there can't be a solution. In such cases, any imagined "solution" is likely to make things worse. |

--- Quote from: TomS_ on April 04, 2020, 07:02:17 am ---I have no problem with unanimous agreement, thats a pretty good outcome really and shows that there is a lot of love for the current format of the forum. But that is not the point Im getting at. Peoples attitudes stink sometimes, like they have some kind of personal mission to validate their own oppinion over someone elses. I just dont see the need for it. There are ways to disagree "professionally", and wars are started because people lack the ability to do so. But should I expect more from the Internet? Probably not. --- End quote --- I may have missed something but I'm not really seeing that. I can speak for nobody other than myself but I hold no ill will toward the OP, I do not dislike them on a personal level, I would not be mean to them if I met them, I haven't put them on my ignore list and would not avoid engaging with them in other threads. I disagree with their opinion on forum software and that's about the extent of it, the rest of us here seem to be on the same page. The guy could have backed off and not continued pushing once it because obvious they had an unpopular opinion but even so no real harm done. Text is poor at conveying tone of voice and emotion, people sometimes read more into something than is there. |

You can't put the microcontroller in Docker! - We will use Docker, end of discussion... --- End quote --- :-DD :-DD I wish I could argue that your example is absurd and that nobody could actually be that stupid but... |O |

(Yes, it's based on reality, of course simplified. In the end, I didn't have to use Docker, though.) |
