Subject: ignorance is frustrating
| I want some advice here, 'cause... I'm ignorant. :)
|
| I got the first hostile post on my blog this morning, and I'd like
| opinions from the community as to whether or not I should remove it.
| For now I've responded with another comment -- not that I necessarily
| needed to, but I was there. :)
|
| The blog entry is here:
|
| http://www.turnkey.to/ontap/docs/blog.cfm?netaction=view&blogdate=2003
| -09-28
|
| Sorry for the line wrap.
|
| In addition to anonymously posting hostile comments which seem to
| highlight the fact that they're unaware of what they're talking about,
| they also misspelled "those" ... heh ...
|
| My thought on the subject is that it's somewhat "ingenuine" (for lack
| of a better word) to delete the hostile post just because it was
| hostile. The phrase "keeping it real" comes to mind, but it's not an
| _expression_ I really use or ever have used, so I think it doesn't sound
| natural when I say it. :) (Anybody else here remember the scene from
| Signs where he says it doesn't sound natural when he curses?) Anyway
| -- so that's why I'm disinclined to remove it myself, but I'm second
| guessing myself, so I wanted some additional opinions.
|
| Personally, I think it's kinda cheap to post something hostile and to
| do it anonymously. I haven't got any hostility myself toward Hal or
| anyone else in the Fusebox community. That's not to say I've never
| posted anything negative or angry -- I get frustrated like everybody
| else, and I try to apologize when I realize that I've offended people.
| Obviously Fusebox isn't my prefered architecture, but I don't see
| anything wrong with that, and I think that as an instructor I could
| provide an unbiased curriculum even teaching both Fusebox and onTap,
| since I don't think there's a necessarily direct relationship between
| preference and understanding. In other words, I don't think I have to
| be ignorant of the merits of Fusebox to personally prefer something
| else. In all honesty, the two frameworks have very different strengths
| and weaknesses.
