You must be thinking of someone else. I didn't lock horns with you until you got nasty with folks having a little fun. There was, as far as I could tell, no ill will from anyone until you created it with your belligerent responses. Heck, if it weren't for that, I might not have become involved in the conversation at all, though Mick's joke about Americans might have drawn me in anyway. But I certainly wouldn't have engaged with you!
Getting p*ssed off because your rant didn't bring fellow ranters is quite childish (funny how all these things you accuse me of represent your own behavior, rather than mine). And it's no way to get to know people. As to knowing the "real me", I use my real name and I've tried today to talk you down from the acts of pure jackassery that you've been performing, without any appreciation for my efforts. Ah well, too much to expect from a troll, I guess.

It's like you walked up, smacked me in the face, and expect me to be f*cking gracious about it.

No, I think that's the marketing/sales people you're thinking about.

Exactly. So why have you been doing it?

Too bad you completely ignore the fact that I did no such thing, virtually or otherwise.

No, I live in the real world. Sounds like you need to get your meds adjusted.

I think you need to reexamine the situation.
I wrote a serious post, posed serious question, and was seeking serious advice. (END OF STORY!)
If you want to claim that I'm a troll because I asked a TOUGH question, then, you're a moron.
I'm sorry, but sometimes you have to discuss tough issues, it happens, deal with it.
If my question seemed inflammatory to you, again, that's your fault, you're "projecting", I had no ill intentions, whatsoever. (Quite the opposite, actually, to me, it's a question of proper etiquette, and nothing more.)

Well, I'm not a moron. I did not claim you were a troll because of your question. I claimed you were a troll (a claim which you agreed with, thank you) because of your attitude toward the people who had a light-hearted attitude. Sometimes that happens, deal with it.
Again with the "projecting".  In case I haven't said it before, let me be clear. I did not (and still do not) give a sh*t about your question. If you believe I did, you're mistaking me for someone else (or you yourself are a "moron" and are "projecting" that on me). If you expect to have everyone be serious just because you were, you're in the wrong place and going troll because folks don't want to be serious when you want them to is a breach of etiquette itself.
Now, I am an adult and as such have other and better things to do than continue with this discussion, as I'm nearly certain that you're only going to continue to whine about how mean I am and how horrible the other members of CP are for failing to put on straight faces at your whim. So, how about we call it a day? You go your way thinking I'm an a**hole and a moron and I'll go mine knowing that you're wrong. Cheers.

Are you sure that English is your native language? You sure missed the joke there.

Are you sure that you guys understand the difference between grammar complaints, and my complaints which are completely different?
I don't care if you speak broken English, or perfect English, I do care, when you start attacking me, and harassing me, and making new accounts just to troll me, and down vote my account(questions\topics\etc), etc,.
Do try to keep up with the conversation.

Now, let me put this into perspective for you. (My perspective.)
----
Let's pretend to be a certain way towards a guy who DOESN'T know us at ALL.
And when he believes that our personalities are indeed what we present them to be, we'll all laugh.
Yeah, that's trolling 101, it was never funny, ever, it's always been stupid, and annoying.
And frankly, seeing as I don't know you, I have to assume that however you present yourself to me, is indeed your REAL personality.
This sort of trolling will never be funny to the person being trolled, EVER, because he believes you're an a**hole. (And, you've proven that assumption to quite correct, all of you, be ashamed.)

I think your perspective is valid.
However, you should also consider context and the context is The Lounge.
If you're new to this site then I must warn you this is where the trolls hang out.

|

I wasn't aware of that. (I knew it was sort of a "general" chat.)
Btw, I've had serious conversations in the lounge, it's true, look it up.
(They should definitely add troll warnings to the description, it said, come, relax, talk about what's on your mind, no one mentioned this cluster f*ck. Is that all part of the show?)
:P

In general be patient.
There are some pretty awesome non-English speakers on here. FFS, them Geordies need someone to listen to them.

Yes, I did.
He's abrasive, he fails to read\understand topics, and makes ridiculous suggestions that generally have nothing to do with any sort of actual solution.
But, he had little to do with this topic, he's a minor fraction of the problem.

Why didn't you say so!
I have gotten into it with SAK over language issues (see here).
He is very... *searches for kind phrasing*... set in his opinions.
In any event, he's a great help to the site... I'd just let him keep doing his thing.

Presuming all that is true - what does any of that have to do with a lack of language comprehension?

Well, I don't know, perhaps the part where he either FAILED to READ the topic, or, FAILED to UNDERSTAND it... (I'm guessing he failed to understand it, based on his comments.)
For example: I stated that I wrote a piece of code on the spot. (Here's a quick transcript.)
Quote:
I'm trying to figure out how to do "X" task. // Rephrased, obviously.
The best I can figure, is something like.
// CODE EXAMPLE - HERE (Snipped for brevity.)
(I typed this up here, I don't even know if that would compile, so, don't mind that.)
His response contained the following.
Quote:
I don't see a point in the code you show. If you found it on the Web, it does not mean it makes a lot of sense. I think you can take it seriously and simply write all the wrapper code you need by yourself.
So, I'm a code thief, and I need to take my programming more seriously and write my own code....
GTFO
Quote: I cannot see how could we help as you did not explain your ultimate goals.
Now, this is my favorite part. (The topic title, and the topic itself both clearly explained my goal.)
I was trying to create a C# style static using C++\CLI, it needed to be consumed by C#, and LOOK just like a normal C# static class in intellisense, etc,. (Lacking the knowledge of how to properly accomplish the task, and being unable to find any clues online, I asked, which led to this conversation.)

I read your entire response. I see nothing that suggests a language problem.
Failure to understand your response doesn't mean that the person would understand it if their language comprehension was better.
Nor does one case (individual) make a rule.

Neither the individuals statement nor your response has anything to do with comprehension.

No fluent English speaker would accuse you of stealing code, after you straight up, and directly explained that you wrote the f*cking code. (Unless they had VERY good reasons to be doing so, or were trolls, etc,.)
Anyways, you shouldn't be discussing anyone's language comprehension skills, as you seem to have issues with it yourself....

That is nonsense - I have seen exactly that occur.

That of course is a personal attack. And since no context was given I will presume nothing more than that you did not understand what I wrote.
