Well it's not like this is the first time that they've done this so I'm not entirely surprised. The first iteration of windows NT was called windows NT 3.1 and windows 7 still doesn't make sense as a name given that there is no possible way you can add up the windows product history and reach that number.

A lot of us don't have permission from our landlords to smash up the house/apartment/condo to run cat6 through the walls from the router on one side to our bedroom on the other.

Discussion that nobody should continue: (Show Spoiler)

.....I was gone for 1 day and all of this happened. I honestly didn't think anything like this could possibly happen from such an inconspicuous post. All I did was tell you that you were overreacting to AUs criticism that your post was too long. As far as PMing goes. I didn't see the need to PM you about anything at the time because all I wanted to say was that you were overreacting to AU. That should not require a PM. I do not have a personal issue with you, I would have said the same thing to any other member in that situation. If you want to prevent something like this from ever happening again all you have to do is not make a big deal out of it. If you don't make a big deal out of whatever criticism someone has with something you said then other people won't care and won't get involved. When people become passionate about defending/attacking something they or someone else said it attracts more attention from outside. I think everyone has calmed down at this point and I've had a chance to respond to everything so let's put it behind us.

Jesus christ that's painful to read. I never thought anyone could take the shitlord crown from shoober but that guy takes the cake.

Those emails reminded me of some painful things I've received from random strangers over the years. Shall I post some of them?

Wait how did you use custom text for a spoiler? I didn't know that was possible.

Works the same way as any other tag.

Code:

[spoiler=titlehere]texthere[/spoiler]

Oh. I thought that only worked for quoting. At least anywhere else it does afaik.

Everything got much harder and loads of things you could do were forgotten when the textbox was changed. While I like the new one better in many ways, it'd still be nice to have a bar which has buttons for all the tags offered and some way of explaining how to make them do things.

So the editor was removed on purpose?

Wow.

We had the one with the live preview, but it kept saying things would work when they wouldn't, or wouldn't when they would, and it autogenerated things that wouldn't work.

How do you live in those conditions?
