notimp is always having a bad day... it's often quite bothersome to deal with.
notimp is in here, reading this as well - so if you want to strike up a conversation lets go.
Its extremely bothersome to always have to deal with people who
- show time and time again, that they rather would post than read anything - beforehand
- deal with false information spread by people wanting to add to the conversation so badly - that they'd rather post complete and utter misinformation, calling actual information "bullshit" (thats a ver betum quote), and prefacing it with "i believe" - then not even giving as much as an argument.
- having people in here come in as some sort of good guys after the fact, stating the obvious. Then maneuvering you into a corner you don't want to be in - simply because you didn't repeat an information already given (which you did out of principal, and also stated as much.)
I quote myself:
There is no universally accepted designation for that screwdriver bit. At least two different outlets started producing these kinds of screws originally, calling them slightly different names - which is where Y and trywing and trybit came from as designations.
The correct diameter for the tipsize seems to be 2mm (will double check could be 1.5mm). We are currently going off the documentation iFixit provided (Y00), and what most of the chinese vendors for the Switch controller replacement shells sold to their customers (controllers use the same Y00 screws as the Switch base unit).
So annson24 in principle nagged me three times there. (Could have been by mistake - just saying.
)
- Not recognizing that I tried to bring people to look up this information in the other thread and preventing that, by giving a short an easy info dump.
- Which only duplicated what I said so myself before - but was phrased in a way that made it seem like entirely new information that needed to be brought to my attention
- Projecting, that my reaction was caused by "having a bad day because of other stuff" - which it wasn't at any point.
So lets find out the motivation behind me reacting in the way I did.
This thread doesn't need to be prolonged, kept open, or moved to the top of the queue. If anything it needed to be deleted/merged with the already existing thread on this very topic.
This thread didn't need to be prolonged with actual misinformation at a second time today.
The wrong information needed to be confronted - as it was phrased to be a proactive "guideline" for people going forward, not encouraged with a "hey there bud, I hear you". (Giving the wrong information also was preventable by a simple google search).
The concept of me trying not to repeat myself for the third time on the same topic - was undercut.
My motivations for reacting harshly were misrepresented.
Then "behind the back chatter" got established to "teach me a lesson".
Could you see any way - how this could have been handled differently - without me just having to step back and say "well I guess, If I stress one more time, that my behavior was driven by purpose and not ego" - everyone will start do dislike me, because I insisted that people were wrong or at least in part hypocritical, past the point where everyone could live with it.
Why is everything going on in here in regard to people, not looking up existing threads, not reading posting, providing wrong information, others not confronting it, undercutting hints that people really should start reading stuff - because you wouldn't repeat yourself for a third time -- a priory OK.
But every grumpy reaction to it -- bothersome, because the result of that person having a bad day.
Its not my bad day thats causing be to spread my emotions in here. Its this very forum - being unable to not fail to selfcorrect for five, ten times in a row - on the same issue.
Lets get some basics established.
- You don't post a new thread before reading the front page of a forum, if the same topic already exists.
- You don't post misinformation that can be caught by reading the information already available on the frontpage here, or with a simple google search - positioning it as a recommendation for people going forward.
Can we at least agree on that? Those are some really basic forum etiquette rules.
Also - as I am writing this my anger has vanished - but what I am not willing to do is to accept, that this is primarily my fault - caused by "a few bad days" I must have had - outside of this forum. This was not the case.
If a moderator reads this, merge the two threads, give me a warning for un"bro"like behavior, if you must - but lets not act as if this came out of the blue and the reaction was unprovoked...
