I agree with him at least on one point where this thread is going very _non-techinical_.
What do you expect with a thread started " Engine X is stronger than Engine Y while it uses all the ideas Engine Y has and has all the source code of Engine X to work with" ?
Then lets decompile (Illegal AFAIK) that super engine Z see what it does. Oh I decompiled and saw it has nothing but horizon extensions. Bravo.
Is this how technical discussion go about ? The end justifies the means ,right ?
This bullshit is what prompted me to post. Who are you to tell anyone how he should post ? That is what the charter is here for. He can leave without a thank you, ask without a please as long as he sticks to the charter. He can have his own ideas defend them as he will.3) you can wait for a "peer-reviewed" definition (that won't include your contribution), but in this sub-forum, your requests should start with "Excuse me", "Please" and leave with a "thank you".
Who am I? A member. I am entitled to an opinion and express it. This is not an isolated case. It is the accumulation of months of a continuous attempt to take over of the general sub-forum with trolls. This is the last corner of the general forum that has maintained on topic and I am a bit sensitive, because if the record is not set straight, we are downhill.
I find it interesting that you find my request for politeness bullshit when Ben has been taunting a GM for jealousy, and telling Marco to shut up. Do you find that acceptable and my request for politeness and gratefulness bullshit?
Of course, you do not need the actual words ("please and thank you"), it is a matter of attitude. Besides, I am requesting something that I personally try. I always try to be grateful when I ask people who know better than me, and it would not occur to me to taunt them or insult them.
Ben has been asking for help in the past, and he got it. Now, he thinks he can come to the programming subforum and start trolling. I do not think he was called idiot before his posts. Anyway, I did not call him idiot so please redirect your annoyance to the proper targets.
But, you may be right. Asking for "please" and "thank you" is too much nowadays.
