You calling out his programming experience is just so dumb. It’s totally reasonable for someone to not remember all the details from work decades ago. He went off on all these details about his career because you were interrogating him lmao
And about the paywall … I mean he is right about those big-ass popups being such a UI nightmare they could be a barrier for some people. You’re just mad he didn’t edit his comment?
You’re correct, it is very reasonable for someone not remember details about a language that was used in schools for education decades ago, that he himself said he played with as a kid, as I have done myself. AGAIN it’s not that he didn’t remember, it’s that anyone who has worked as a programmer for decades, and I mean without exception, would ever in any circumstance post that code from memory. Because anyone who has done any coding knows you only remember syntax when you have been practicing in it daily. No one remembers the syntax to BASIC, it isn’t a useful language. You would just search for “hello world” loop and you would find endless examples you could copy pasta. Which he himself says he likes to do with that creative commons nonsense he tags to every post.
Sure pop-ups suck. Sure interface design needs to be better, it’s not the point. The point is he claimed that the site was paywalled, he was wrong, that’s okay. He was told by multiple people he was wrong, including one person who went as far as to post a screenshot. Even after all that effort from the community he doesn’t just say “ah my mistake, I see it now”, he goes into an excuse of bad UI design, even though no one else had the problem. It simple, just say you made a mistake without making excuses. Really easy to do, and way less effort than this whole deflection thing he does.
He’s a shit poster, who bullshits people because he doesn’t want to be wrong. I am under no illusion anything will change with this guy. His shitty behavior continues today just as it has in the past. I just made the mistake of saying something about it.
So you’re mad he didn’t research his joke properly? Why do you care so bad if he “deflects”, he’s clearly just concerned about the website being difficult to access? Just let the comments that show it’s not paywalled stay up, and let his concerns stay up as well. It’s not a big deal. You’re acting like a bully comment cop.
No, yet again, I am saying when he was corrected and down voted by multiple people he didn’t just acknowledge his mistake, he went on to try to pretend to be something he is not, and try to save face by exaggerating and deflecting. He is not concerned with anything but being right.
He is wasting peoples time who have voluntarily engaged with him. He is not contributing to the discussion and making flippant lazy comments.
I can spend my time how I choose and if I choose to have a discussion about his comments then that’s my decision. I have not bullied anyone, I just made two comments about this to him. Haven’t engaged with him since.
However you have said I am over reacting, being stupid and now bullying, because of my opinion of someone’s behavior. All the while you dismiss my opinion, disregard my points and apologize for his behavior like his mother. If it’s no big deal why are you still talking about this. You’re the only person still concerned. This ended two days ago for me.
Why do you care so much if you think his comments are lazy and flippant? Just ignore them? I’m disregarding your points because none of what you’ve said justifies your “call out”. If he said something that was wrong, and a lot of people posted evidence to the contrary… that’s a win for truth right? Why are you trying to demand he admit he’s wrong? It just feels like a weird power trip.
And you are mad he didn’t research his joke properly 😂 that is an actual point you made.
I see what you mean now. I should just ignore it. I shouldn’t have called him out. He did nothing wrong. In fact he made the post more entertaining and his references were really fun. I was demanding him to do things this whole time and that was wrong of me.
I was so mad he didn’t research his joke, because you know jokes don’t really need to make sense. I was being silly. You were right this whole time. Thanks for setting me straight over these last couple of days. I’m so stupid.
