When I write an article for the site, it gets scheduled and published when it's time. I then share that article on linux.org and ask for feedback.
Today, someone made a mistake with the command. They made the mistake - even though I distinctly told them what to do in the article.
They then made another mistake. This time, adding a space that was not there - not following the directions.
They then said it wasn't installed and that I should tell people to install it if it's not installed. That was in the article - like the third paragraph in - where I told them it may need to be installed and how to install it.
So, I told the person that I love feedback but it'd be awesome if they'd actually read the article before giving me feedback. After all, there were three things they did that that were contrary to the very clear instructions given in the article.
They got offended, deleted their posts, and claimed they'd read the article - while blaming it on the site's white text on a black background (pretty much the easiest text to read, per a ton of research).
They didn't read the article... No fucking way they read it. If they DID read it, they're fucking idiots. Not reading it makes sense. If they read it and then said those things, they're just plain fucking retarded.
I'm sure it'll lead to some additional drama, but they had me go through removing posts that 'referenced them' and said they'd never comment on another article post.
Good...
I don't need that kinda feedback.
Man, people piss me off.
some people are just dumb
