Is CyberCretin the biggest loser on this forum?

[BrilloPad]

I agree that can be boring for long-termers on the BB, but not everybody reads every thread, so they have not necessarily read my views repeatedly. There are many newcomers to this BB every day who do not actually post but lurk and I'm sure do not read previous posts.
If you do not want to read my views because they are repetitive and boring, just don't read them.

Do you read other people's posts or just post your own stuff without caring about opinions of others?

Isn't it obvious that I've read somebody's post if I post a copy of what I reply to !!

Usually I would say yes. But sometimes I feel you reply without really reading what the other person has said.

If I'm busy I don't always read every single post in a thread. I'm sure others don't either. If a post is long I may also just scan it as quickly as possible and only take in the part that I feel is worth answering. Thus, I may miss important bits, but c'est la vie.

I'd rather not read something at all or read it with the due diligence. Do you also work the same way? No surprise you have never gone further 45k euros a year...

1. You have nearly 12,000 post on this site. Sad, go out and get a girlfriend/boyfriend.

2. Your post just smacks of "I'm a Chav". Please don't use smilies it's not becoming of a proper contractor

3. It's worrying but there are so called contractors here with a bigger post count than you.

Summary

Big post counters who are contractors, won't be contractors for much longer.

girlfriend/boyfriend/stalker



edit: Sorry, was pissed and thought that post was addressing Bagpuss.

I respond to what I think may have been said, rather than what has actually been said, because my opinion is of such primary importance that I needn't bother understanding the opinions of others before repeating myself, and would certainly never even consider the possibility that what somebody else has said might actually give me a reason to reconsider my opinion

In my experience, those who are intellectually lazy in one area are intellectually lazy in all areas.

I hate it when I'm left to fix their shoddy code

ADDENDUM: This doesn't mean that I agree with the insulting tone of the thread title. Vulgar abuse and insulting names do not constitute a valid opinion. I think I may have perpetrated similar insults against Cyberman in the past, in which case I'm a hypocrite for decrying it now. That, or I've decided that perpetrating insults is a Bad Thing and don't want to do it any more. Wotever.

Alas I feel there are elements of truth in that. I do hope cyberman takes note and responds accordingly. There have been a few who are not up to this : personlly I think cyberman is up to the challenge.

If you make no effort to read some things, then is it any wonder that the are yawning gaps in your knowledge that I recently highlighted (13th pay month in Germany ring a bell ?)

So all speed-readers are intellectually lazy ? I think not somehow. There are some things that demand meticulous care and others that don't. An intelligent person will realise the difference !!
