seriously, do you have nothing better to do than prowl these lists looking for opportunities to be an elitist prick?

who's making you reply to anything? just don't fucking bother, because i'm sure the majority of your posts are a waste of fucking time anyway. like posting a link for a google search for me the other day. what is that all about? aside from the inferiority complex shit that you obviously need to quell, i can't really see the point

I agree, there was a time where even you had < 50 posts.

I am gald no one treated you that way and discouraged you

so can we stop it there now .... 

it's because when you type in uppercase, you're shouting. besides, calling your stuff urgent doesn't come across on a mailing list, it seems pushy.

just that you know, i'm sure it's not personal, it's a bit of mail list habit and this list is a bit sensitive on that. nice and helpfull bunch otherwise though, you should check the soundonsound list ; )

You're worse. Roman is always VERY funny and you're the pricks.

Nah. At best moderately amusing. Occasionally.

Peter is referencing a great Eurocentric joke

In Heaven, the Police are British, 
the Mechanics are German, the Chefs

In Hell, the Police are German,

There's also an American variation
in which certain American regional
traits replace the nation states. I
suspect this joke became necessary
because some American was sufficiently
incensed by Americans not getting any
of the plum jobs that he/she felt it
necessary to construct a version where
Heaven (and Hell, since the joke 
requires it) was run entirely by
Americans.

clearly, in hell the comics are max/msp users.

Thinking about it, I must admit that I have mostly seen this in strongly 

male dominated communities, most often linked to a strong hostility

Interesting point. Reminds me of a number of observations made in 

feminist studies about man/woman relations and differences between 

behaviours in different gender-dominated groups.

You're probably right, Trond, but making the observation is most 

likely, in the first instance, to generate more essentially hostile

well, actually being a community is about accepting others.

other wise you get inbreeding and we all know thst is bad ...

olso i havn't been ignoring the jokes, well a bit .... 

also what is the point of a forum if you have to post 50 to get a reply ?????

I'm confused, why would anyone be defending this post? All caps and irrational as well as hard to understand? And yet we find people defending the right for beginners to post this sort of nonsense. I am completely shocked, yet again :/ Chicken, you need to learn how to ask questions. Acting like a whiny victim of circumstance and demanding people help you is no way to get what you want.

To everyone that defended this post, please try to not be so harsh on the people that just want a legible, easy to comprehend, well thought out question. Just the fact that such a post could cause a flame war based on its nature is a good example thats its not formatted in a way conductive to productivity.

You know I took another look at Chikens post, I do not think

he sounded like a whiny victim. What part was demanding?

Was it "REALLY URGENT ... MASSIVE PROJECT DEADLINE .... ", 

perhaps it is the caps that makes things sound demanding. 

Granted his english is not the best but you should keep in mind 

that the Max community is global and that there are those out 

there whose English is not as good as yours. Should he 

take more English classes then? Man, you have some nerve. 

Up to this point I think everyone was taking it with a grain of 

salt, even Chicken. But your post just exemplifies how this 

insensitive attitude creates a unfriendly environment for new

yes, all this whining about newbees is more annoying than the n00bs questions by far. I don't think a discussion forum is anything to take serious at all, it's just a bunch of people with the same interrest sharing experience. I don't believe anyone really minds answering a question whichs seems to easy for them ???? if so, why waste time being sazzy, instead of just not answering ?

If someone slaps a bad joke in my face i woulden't care the least.... someone will answer the question proper sooner or later anyway. ;)

'why can't we be frinds, why can't wee bee friends'

peace, love, boom, shakti, sheeva and all that shit

You could tell from the kind of jokes, I am sure in female dominated 

communities there are a lot of jokes whith a strong hostility against 

men entering the domain as well. In mixed communities you might find a 

difference regarding the opposite gender...

I consider the Max community a mixed one, I'd like to see more women
