    I write this reply In Great fear of getting Preator's big BOOM! But, This is one of those times when i know i should mind my own business but for some reason can't.
    I have spent alot of time on A.D. over the past several months And while ScubaPete has helped countless people (including me several times).He can be offensive and downright rude at times, for me that is a small price to pay for the invaluable information he provides, but this kid didn't think so and he rightly called Scuba on it.I think instead of all the AD elite jumping so quickly to Scuba's defence someone who knows him well should tell him to go a little easier on dumbasses and newbie's. just my two cents
    Respectfully,
    Chad

    The help here is free of charge, the people who post here do so on their own time so I have no sympathy for anyone who complains about free help.

    There's no "Customer Service" desk at AD for a reason.

    It's pretty unreasonable to call a respected member here a dick and expect everyone else to pat you on the back for it.

    LOL nah... as long as the post is respectful, tasteful and doesnt violate rules than no booms get handed out.... In this case, I think it's a fair assumption to say the guy had it coming. You dont often (or ever) see me chuck BOOMs around at people for fun -- there's usually a reason.

    I have to say that I can see both sides to this.
    I have had a lot of help from senior members of this forum but some of the replies I have seen have been arrogant and aggressive. (not to me)
    It occasionally reminds me of visiting a large computer chain store where the staff look down on you and assume you no absolutely nothing and are just wasting their time.
    spencerkl deserved to be blown up for being so offensive but the 'newbie' status means new to Afterdawn' not new to computing.
    If Bill Gates starts an account here then he's going to get newbie status but we shouldn't assume he knows nothing.
    p.s. Thanks for all the help guys,keep it coming.
    Now, about my promotiom to junior member?

    not only that, i agree everyone can be offensive at times. Mods, senior members, addicts, and everyone else all have opinions that others wont agree with all the time. thats fair and fine and dandy. But when a guy starts a reply with
    he's getting banned no matter what. that shit is totally unreasonable. If you dont agree with someone, tell them in a respectful manner and alot of issues would never come this far.
