Good to hear that Rob. Everyone deserves a second chance. (even a third
)
I've had to bite my tongue lately with a know it all over in the tube forum. He was advocating a dangerous grounding scheme that is a clear Bldg. Code violation and his nasty asshat response was to belittle the regulations and anything anyone had to say about it. Best thing you can do is to ignore such assholes, they just can't help themselves. After getting two different threads locked down by his actions, he starts a third trying to bait a very helpful guy into getting himself in trouble. He wasn't getting anywhere with it, so he asked, "why was everyone being nice?" One of the good guys responded simply,"It's nice to be nice to the nice." It went right over his head.
A gentle reminder of the sign over the front door at AK (All Audio- No Attitude) is
usually about as far as I go with it.
One way to winnow the chaff is to click on a user's name and the drop down list has a "find all posts by **** and you can find out how helpful or how shitassed they are by their responses in previous posts. It's a very good way to find out what kind of character they possess or lack.
I do have to say though that the moderation that's provided at AK makes it a very cool place to hang out and get help and give help.
