Thanks for that. It did give me something to think about. Socially speaking I would be the first one to admit that I have shortcomings. Perhaps the way I burst in like you said is one of them.
As I mentioned earlier... my intention was to be a 'part of' -- perhaps it came out wrong..perhaps I was insensitive to the current discussion and dynamic of the group. Perhaps a wait and see approach would have served me better. But certainly one has to agree that the community response was a tad over the top, highly innapropriate and inordinatley aggressive and insulting considering the circumstances. I like discussing things that for me, have depth and for me anything else I tend to view as a waste. Maybe this is a social shortcoming as you say. Hey, I'm not perfect... I'm me. In all my own quirkyness and oddities...that belong to me and to me alone. I see that I probably should have started a new topic... I was unaware of the group consciousness here. >Why come in with any "intent" other than fellowship? >If this was a bar, would you approach and burst into the first >conversation that you heard with a speech intending to inflame, that is >completly off topic to the conversation? >Would you not expect to be flamed (or worse in a bar situation) for it? >Do you understand that whatever intent that you've had is completly lost >in the delivery > >Like I said before you've come across like you're testing us to see if we >are worthy of you. > >Whatever happened to "Hi, i'm Daniel, I'm a ColdFusion Developer..." > >Scott A.
