[hlcoders] [OT] GameExpertMaster

2006-04-26 Thread John Sheu
I don't wish to start a flame war of any kind.  This has just been
bugging me for quite a while, and I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry
about it.

rant
Please.  If you're a gameexpertmaster, stop with the nub questions!
In all honesty, I don't mind the questions, just the mindset that goes
with that e-mail address.  Hell, _I_ ask dumb questions all the time.
/rant

Thanks.
John Sheu

Where in (GameExpertMaster) did you get Master of the Source SDK?

Who the hell cares if I ask Nub Questions? I ask things of which I do not
know. I help others if I know the question just as I should. Im sorry if I
wasn't born with a perfect knowledge of the SDK like yourself.

I have no mindset, I know im not an amazing coder, I am good, but not all to
familiar with the Source SDK, just because you know the answer to the
question, and may have learned it along time ago, doesn't mean it is a NUB
question. You answer the question, and get on with your life. Hell, you
shouldn't care if I asked what an SDK was. You should just answer politely,
thats what I would do.

I can ask all the nub questions I want, the point of the coders list is to
help people with CODING WITH THE SDK. I looked up and down the Valve
Developer Page for an answer to my questions before I even post here. If I
don't find it there, I email the HlCodersList, I don't just email every
random noob question.

I agree. If someone has a question, they have the right to ask it no matter
how nub it sounds.
Everyone started somewhere. Whats in an email address anyway?

Yeah, I feel like I have asked some dumb questions here. I am under no
illusions that I am some master coder here, I feel most of the people who
work with the SDK are either college students or University students just
starting to get their degrees.

I feel my asking questions will also help future people who have troubles
with the same things I do when they search this archive for an answer, and
the question probably gets people thinking aswell. (and Alfred is sometimes
so horrified with how I coded something he will write out a best use
guideline ;)) have a little patientce with us, we do try and find stuff and
work it out for ourselves, and when we fail we ask you guys. Heck maybe the
next batch of people working on the SDK that need help maybe I'll be able to
answer their question with the knowledge gained from you guys helping us
out.

Whomever started to flame this guy for his email is a complete tool, how do
you draw the conclusion that his email relates directly to the source sdk,
what if it means pong?

2006-04-26 Thread Maurino Berry

Out of all the offtopic things coming to my inbox, some guy hassling someone
else about his email is the last thing I want from hlcoders, I think he
should have kept that noise to himself, or emails the guy personally,
there's no reason to have posted it here unless he was trying to make the
guy feel uncomfortable which in my books is flaming.

But anyway, You can leave this topic alone now.

I thought it was rather ironic that gameexpertmaster was asking these
kinds of questions; that is all.

/me sighs

In any case, I realize that my response was inappropriate and I will
apologize for it.  I'll keep it to myself next time.
