Well, it seems this place also is as toxic as reddit…

Hmmm. If everywhere you post (OT, Trilogy Forums, Reddit, for example) instantly turns toxic the moment you start typing then perhaps it’s not the people already there who are creating that environment…

Here we are, six pages deep into a thread that’s nearly 3 years old, and there wasn’t any toxicity before you arrived.

Luke: What’s in there?
Yoda: Only what you take with you.

Just sayin’. Food for thought, no?

Not to start any arguments, but if you think someone doesn’t reside with your level of intelligence you shouldn’t call their question stupid to provoke them. Just let them be them and answer politely, as my word of advice.

Williarob has already gone out of his way provide explanations and information this matter - to a person who had already openly accused TSWT community of being toxic… simply because it has been pointed out the info he was requesting was already available - he just didn’t bother to look for it. Someone who ignores the ‘read first, ask questions later’ or ‘take the time to look around before posting’ mantra of both communities - and is quick with the insults when called on it.

A person who then also states this place is toxic too.

There is also nothing wrong with Williarob pointing out that some people who are quick with accusations of toxicity… could do likely well to take a look at themselves, their own attitudes, and their own posts…
 

Needless to say ‘Jordy’ is far from the first person to act in such a manner, and won’t be the last. Over the years a truly countless number of people ignore the OP of a thread, the links provided, or even the project page provided with update information on it, those who don’t take a few minutes to look around to see if their question has already been asked and answered, or even a cursory look at the discussion thread itself… grows. Yet the same old excuses, defensiveness and accusations remain… when questioned themselves, are told how to look for information, or even told where to look for the answers they seek, or are actually given the information.

If Williarob receives similar messages in PMs as the mods do… it is just the tip of the iceberg. Meanwhile Williarob (along with many others engaged in undertaking various fan projects) continues to take the time and effort to patiently provide answers to oft-repeated questions… where the information has already been clearly provided, or even signposted.

 

That’s enough from me and my two-penneth. Let’s get back to discussing 4K80.
