If you read the post i placed where i did roll my eyes i did apologise for posting twice and explained why i did and I’m sorry but I’m right on this one people have on numerous occasions posted a question twice i've seen the posts.

You can't not expect me too answer back about this when others are blatantly doing the same and having nothing said too them about it.

So i rolled my eyes, he was over reacting on something so trivial he could have just politely explained that i not post twice not dictate it too me. I know i am in the right on this one, i've asked numerous people on this and they all say the same. He overreacted.

I am not going to let someone who thinks he can control the forums tell me what too do I’m sorry but we are all entitled too our own opinions and he could have said it differently. Like i said this is not my first dealing with him.
I read the entire thread in sequence before saying anything here.

Here is my take. You're sorry, but you're not really sorry. You have conveyed this sentiment twice now.

The truth is, the people that care enough to try and keep things organized here with gentle reminders are not on 24/7 to give everyone the same treatment. We don't read every post and every forum. I certainly don't, and Chosen doesn't, though he reads more than me because he hangs out in content forums more than I do.

Chosen doesn't think he can control the forum, far from it. But he is rightfully annoyed, as am I, that people just ask whatever, willy nilly, in RA. He didn't chastise you until you showed disrespect for the rule. Prior to you rolling your eyes, he explained why it was bad without denigrating you. You gave your apology but then in the next breath took an attitude that basically said "screw the rule." That's when he went off and invited you to go somewhere that doesn't have any such rules since you clearly didn't like it. Then the histrionics ensue.

It seems trivial to you, and let's be real, it's not the end of the world. But the place is in a slow but steady decline. You're not helping by cross-posting content creation questions in RA.

Chosen spends a lot of time teaching people about 3D graphics here. His information and help is invaluable. It is harder for him and the other experts in the content forums to help when it's spread out all over the place and you have to keep answering the same thing twice, three times over in whatever forum the poster feels like posting in. Those forums have stickies that will nip things in the bud and answer lots of questions before they are even asked.

We are lucky that people like Chosen, Chip, Namssor, etc. come here and answer questions that rightfully belong in the other forums. But if I were them, I'd be pretty tired of doing it after a while. Fortunately for us the instinct to help is stronger than the instinct to give it a rest.

And what gets me is that you deem him arrogant, when from what I read, he painstakingly took his time to help you with something that you didn't understand. How's that for biting the hand that feeds you? People who are aloof don't take the time to help like that. Give him some respect, and respect the rules.

Moderators should moderate ... those who aren't moderators shouldn't - if you want the job, then apply for it ... however given the way things were attempted TO be moderated, I'd say good luck.

Grammar ... misspelling ... who really gives a rip? I mean, for crying out loud ... this is a FORUM ... this is not Webster's dictionary ... and it is certainly not a legal document or a bill attempting to be passed by congress, although I'd have to say some of you act like politicians ... and this is not directed to any one person ... its just ridiculous.

When someone does/says something you don't like - for crying out loud - be an adult and just go on to the next forum piece. Be an adult ... act like an adult - and let others be themselves without picking them apart ... and let the MODERATORS do their work. And yes, I know, we don't have many ... but you know what? If you are NOT one, don't let it get to you ... its just plain STUPID. There are so many other things in this world to get upset about other than where someone posts in a stupid forum ... or HOW someone spells. I don't care if you make your business with words or not (quoted from another forum post) ... its just not reasonable to expect others to live up to YOUR standards. Really simply ridiculous.

I rarely come to these forums because of the petty bickering and stupid opinions I read.

This forum is entitled "Resident Answers" ... the OP asked a question - you don't want to answer it ... move on. GROW UP.

Kagome, you needed help deciding how to go about texturing and you needed help with the customs of forum posting. Chosen gave you good advise about both in a patient and matter of fact way. There was no need for you to have felt bad about needing either piece of advice and I'm sure no one felt any less of you for it.
But you seem to have been so embarrassed by your gaff that you decided to somehow try and deny you did anything wrong by unfairly accusing poor Chosen of having done something wrong. Chosen has continued to respond to you with unemotional facts while you have become increasingly upset.
Perhaps when you rolled your eyes you were rolling them at yourself for not knowing why it's bad form to double post. But it did come across as if you were rolling your eyes at Chosen for trying to help you and at all of us who like it better when basic manners are observed.
No one here meant to hurt your feelings, and I'm truley sorry you feel bad.
But if participating on forums is so distressing to you maybe you shouldn't put yourself through it.

Ok i'm very sorry too have caused so many problems but i still think that he did not need too dicate too me about what i should do. Like i said previous he could have simply been nice about it and yes i have too admit i'm still a bit touchy about this guy dicatating too me about my grammer and spelling and i'm sorry he can deny it all he wants, he did dictate what i should do and where i should go.

Like Faith said this is a Forum not the Webcasters dictionary.

I'm not suprised that the forum is heading downhill, with people like that, people will grow fedup and leave with all the problems and horrible attitude they bring.

I can see you're having a very difficult time. My heart goes out to you. And obviously you don't want any more advice.
But I wish I could help you to feel better and I don't think your focusing on the perceived imperfections of other people is helping your ability to communicate or your own emotional well being.

I think her emotional wellbeing would be enhanced if kind-hearted people would just drop it and move on ... ;-)
