I guess some people don't understand cordiality and kindness.
I get a few requests myself, and if I don't respond in a day or two,
I get nasty follow-ups when I do respond.
I don't sit at my computer expecting people to email me.
I am not customer support for skins that I do.
I just made a few things for myself and I shared them with the community,
hoping that someone would like them too and maybe use them for awhile.
No one pays me for anything that I submit, and I spend weeks making a skin sometimes.
Yet, someone can spend ten minutes downloading, and yet
they can't take ten seconds to leave a nice comment. I mean look at the skins here.
Mostly, you will see 10,000 downloads and maybe 30 comments.
Still, you find the artists trying to be quite kind and helpful
to the few who do leave a comment, mostly when they have a problem or need help.
And a lot of time, you get really nasty comments or impatient people expecting you do reply to their
needs promptly, or expecting you to be able to fix all their computer problems.
When, you have no idea what they have done to their computers, and they don't want to
give you any information about it. I expect a lot of nasty replies to this message as well.
But, I guess this is the way of the world.

its the impatient guy we're gonna tar and featherReply #24 Friday, May 14, 2004 1:59 PM
| one can do anything in frustration |
Yep, and this is why we have jails. This is why we have rapes and murders too.
But, is that an excuse for any such behavior? Is your frustration, or anyones frustration,
an excuse to be rude to someone else? And, is such behavior really going to help one
get anything resolved faster? There is a better way. It is called patience and kindness.
Personally, from this moment on, I am just not going to reply to anyone who is being rude or nasty.
Maybe after a while, they will get a clue.

Treat others how you would like to be treated.

| aw, chas.. nobody's against you here |
I know that DC, its just that such people breed frustration.
People just don't seem to understand, that when you spread kindness,
it helps soothe your frustrations and those of other people as well.
If they take a deep breathe, and say something kind, they will feel better themselves.
But when you attack, you build your frustrations, and you make other people angry as well.
I don't want to be angry anymore. Not when it is my free time. It is just that having to look
or read nasty things, doesn't help anyone. But, people just don't seem to understand the logic.
So, for me, from now on, I am just going to choose silence towards them.

Act's like an ass, then should be treated like an ass and ignored.
