Are Chief Delphi users thin-skinned?

[stevek]

I have gotten annoyed this year and last on almost every post I had. It makes it harder and harder for me to make the time to come here. There are a lot of very smart students that are savy and computer literate, Yet some have no true real world experience. I have owned my own company for over ten years and support dozens of other compaines in Video/Web/Graphic Design/ and Multimedia Technologies. I often stick to forums on these topics. I feel everytime I post a technique or solution to a question, I get lambasted. Recently A user made a new tread on Web Hosting for FIRST Teams- So after his sales pitch, I posted a reply that didn't discount his offer but offered an alternative- By the end of the page- I got told that my sugested company was no good (by somone who admiting to having no experience with the company- go figure) and then I was told if I didn't want the first guys company than just don't use it. I was furious. I couldn't believe that I couldn't make a sugestion without being jumped all over. I find the same when people talk about different programs. I get people that are religious about some free download or some "in-thing" and my time tested professional sugestions (which offen offer different price range solutions) gets destroyed by people that have no real experience.

I'd love people to be more tolerant and take sugestions as just that. I'd also love people with no experience on subjects to refrane from being so adiment. Its ok to have oppinions- but why attack everyone elses who differs.

Good luck as the weeks wind down.
