John,
You're really beginning to make me very irritated. You seem unable to accept
responsibility for the way you put things and seem to justify this in a variety
of ways including your service record.
You make many claims to attention to detail, correctness and your care for these
things and yet you clearly demonstrate that you are not in one crucial detail:
interactions with other people. Maybe in the army and your job this worked out
for you, you are now dealing with the real world. You do NOT, as you claim,
treat people very well. You treat people very poorly.
Perhaps you have some trouble grasping the subtleties of the real word. As such
I'm going to help you out by spelling some things out for you in a list:
1) Peeron is run by volunteers
2) Those volunteers have a finite amount of time
3) Those volunteers choose how to spend that time
4) You are being rude to those volunteers.
5) Being rude to those volunteers is unlikely to make them choose to spend their
time on your corrections
From here on you have no excuse for being rude. It cannot be put any clearer why
your actions are out of order. I realise I'm going to get some long-winded,
pointless response to this listing the same reasons you've been giving all along
as to why you should act the way you act but frankly I don't care. I doubt it
will say anything new and will just continue to show quite how bad you are at
grasping a basic concept.
There is second way you might be able to speed things up in addition to learning
how to be polite. You could spend some of the 60hrs you are spending on these
corrections on learning how to submit them more easily to Peeron. If you choose
not to do this then I will be convinced that you don't really want to help
Peeron, you just want to annoy people.
Anyway, I really don't think I can get any more blunt to you without breaching
the TOS of Lugnet so I'll leave it there.
Tim
