Don't be defensive that is the first thing I suggest. Actually listen to people that will help too. Second do things in moderation (see that is what we are for to prevent exceessiveness). Third turn a negative into a postive. You need negative feedback as much as you need positive feedback. In fact without negative feedback most everything becomes unstable. (A fact in physics mathematics electronics and programing as well as management and other things).
The only thing I don't like is the pole, I could have just edited the thread and removed it, but you notice I didn't.
I like negative feedback on my work, not silly things like the polls I'm starting. That is utterly useless. Another symptom of the human mind: Targeting an escape from locked judgement. Complaining isn't really constructive, now, is it? Also, if you would complain, at least do it with proper spelling, if I may give a taste of negative feedback in turn.
Also, "Don't be defensive." What's up with that, eh? You moderators all here like it when the users doing things you're paranoid to put up with your maljudgement and let you pick on them? I would not have considered you as "picking on me" if you didn't call me 'egocentric' and accuse me of starting polls for self-centered purposes. You will never get any reasoning done with me with such foolish judgement.
Sure.. mmmm I can name a few off the top of my head.
I'm waiting.
Mostly crazy people.
If you feel as if you were being attacked, do a check up from the neck up. Read about feedback. Poles are disruptive and often kind meaningless. The flash pole is not the one I was concerned over. Think of it as someone saying "hey you are getting carried away with the poles here chill on them."
...The last sentence I did not understand. Not exactly attacked, the way you perceive, but you were definitely paranoid to starting polls on things like social questions, so how are they self-centered, eh? Until you answer those questions, your posts here do nothing but push on to the obvious point that I overreacted.
I could say all sorts of things about you from your words. However you noticed I haven't. Sometime you might take it into consideration that really no one is out to get you here. Honestly you are over reacting to a simple request not to gratitiously make poles. The flash pole is OK as I said. This pole is ... well it didn't make sense too me. That's pretty much it. Not a big deal to me.
No, I want to hear/read what you got to say about me. These "all sorts of things," this source of yours claiming potential of claiming these judgements is animalistic instinct. Dare with logic, not prejudice. Even if you did say all of these things, you would most likely 'sound' like a madman. Now are you going to prove me wrong or what?
As for programming I have a few years of experience in that. The chinese Zodiac I am completely ignorant of (in fact the ocidental one I am as well), as I am not into astrological gazing for predicting future events and have little interest in it.
And is that your excuse for hating my starting a poll on it? I don't believe I asked you for your programming experience. I must say, I was being called self-centered? I don't believe I walk up to the first person and talk about my experience out of randomosity. Funny: Arrogance usually challenges what they perceive as arrogance; a lose-lose situation.
So since you didn't ban me, and since you did dare declare these traits of egocentricity and self-centeredness on me, you gave me a turn.

I am glad you are having fun that about sums my view of the whole thing.
You can use the
quotes to post snipets of code as well. I've done it myself. I prefer that to executables being posted (think security). However I don't get on people's case on posting them.

Yes, thank you, or something. I actually was aware of this method. Not everybody has a C++ compiler, but I guess you're right; the experts should see the function for themselves just by looking at the code. I will do this for now on, even though attaching the compiled version is a little more convinient, don't you think?
Of course, you will tolerate that, but not a second poll. To some extent, you are definitely tolerant and allow what is right but seems wrong, just not what is right but seems really wrong.
