In anticipation of what is sure to be coming soon, I suggest we all agree that the next time
richard insults or abuses anyone who is attempting to answer his questions or explain his
errors, none of us shall respond to any of his posts until he apologizes for the insult or abuse.
I'm in, if others agree. Who's with me? BTS? Denis? PointedHead?

If he would actually self-destruct (figuratively, anyway) and -- as he has been repeatedly
advised to do -- find a new hobby, I could see some merit in this. But he won't.
The problem, Ed, is that richard does not realize the depths of his own ignorance, and
probably never will. Witness this most recent episode, in which he continues to insist that the
PHP interpreter conform its behavior to his expectations of it, instead of conforming his
expectations to its defined and published behavior. This is far from the first time something
of this nature has occurred. He honestly, truly thinks that there is something wrong with PHP
because it does not behave the way he mistakenly believes it does or should.
richard appears to me to be completely, totally incapable of recognizing the flaws in his
own code, and in his understanding of how software is supposed to work. *Every time*
something does not work as he expects it to, he places the blame everywhere *except* the
one place where it belongs: himself.
Bottom line: richard has already amply proven his ignorance to everyone in the universe
except the one person that would benefit from proof of his ignorance, he himself.

Granted, he does bring some entertainment value. And I suppose his truculent, combative
attitude is part of the entertainment... Just the same, it gets old after a while.

Ah yes, the self proclaimed "God" of the newsgroup speaks up.
You say I am rude?
Excuse me mister high and mighty, but YOU and your prescious sheep have
been more rude to me!
I ask a simple question.
Most times the replies all deal with bashing my intelligence and lack of
ability to do it right.
YOU have personally bashed me over very very minor mistakes.
Even a simple typo takes you into bashing mode royally.
I find it amusing that those that have replied, are the first ones to do
the bashing with some rather rude remarks.
Practice what you preach.
If you can't take being bashed, then don't bash.
I don't bash someone because they posted a question.
That is what YOU do.
Where is your functional and working web site?
At least my web site validates, works as intended and has no major flaws
that causes any crashes.
I'll finish this rant with this:
"Sieg Heil, Meinen Fuhrer! Sieg Heil!"

Not really -- most of the time, the replies deal with your persistent inability to either proofread
or to learn from past mistakes. When you make the same mistake dozens of times without
learning from that experience, I'd say a bit of bashing is justified.

No, you just insult and abuse the very people you're seeking help from. Has it ever
occurred to you that that's the reason so few people have any interest in helping you?

Then they shouldn't be bashing me.
Bash me, I bash back.
You wouldn't be bashing me on a professional forum that is controlled now
would you?
If you did that, you'd get your ass kicked off.

Now I can nitpick on you for once.
"There is no attibute "align""!
Dumbass, use CSS.
<h2 align="left"> is not proper coding.
Line 6, Column 48: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but
occurred as data
It should be coded as "&".
And that crazy "weave" look just plain sucks.
At least ALL of my pages are html5!
If you're going to use an accordion menu, at least change colors for each
new section opened. A little indenting on lower levels would be better.
That's why I chose to use a dropline.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you want help - especially
since you aren't paying for it, it's best not to bash those who help
you.

And you'd get your troll ass kicked off said professional forum even
quicker.
Notice you post on misc.legal? And it's constantly bad or incorrect
legal advice?
I challenge you to post to any of the moderated legal groups.
Didn't think so.
