But the "obvious truth" as you said is that you did that after we started to talk about it.
When people link stuff or say something they imply that you as reader are going to check that out and if you had done it, it would've been obvious that things have changed. That I've made a decision without further discussion would have been a logical implication.
For the acerbity, I guess you don't talk to your customers or boss or teacher that way.
Please do not do it here too.
Yes, but it's requested to stay polite and friendly.
As I often like to say: "I'm only responsible for what I say and not for what others might hear."
I didn't use any strange tone and it wasn't my intention to do so. I simply state the fact that you were already too late for that topic and yes, I would talk that way to my teacher/boss/professor, since as I already said (for the third time now) that there was no acerbity and it was only you that interpreted it that way.
my teachers taught us to do so: "one subject = one message"
I'm not the kind to follow blindly what I'm taught.
I've tryed with and without, and in practice I can say that this is always the better option.
Sometimes I don't because it's a little bit harder to do, and takes more time, but when I don't it happens quite often that I have to regret it.
So only after you've tried both your gonna follow that blindly?
If this becomes the policy of this forum, I'll follow it.
I've been on quite many forums and I've
never run into someone or even a forum rule who/that would enforce such a way of posting. You can gladly search through this forum and you won't find anyone that has posted 6 posts in a row to one discussion. So although it's not a written rule on any forum, it's a implicit rule that most everyone follows and you should too.
Or can you show me a forum that uses this way of posting?
I would recommend everyone to do the same, being for emails, posts, and even phone calls.
So when you have two questions for someone, you call him ask the question, hang up call him again and ask the second question?
Such statements can not be applied to every situation and I strongly advise against it in most situations.
But I think that this way of posting also has advantage for moderation.
The moderator can then remove the posts with flames, and keep the ones with usual discuss.
Not really it's a pain in the ass if the moderator has to edit 10 posts, instead of just editing one...
And if he wants to remove stuff there's no extra work if it's a single post or not.
Besides this forum does not have any moderator and nearly nothing gets removed. Laurent is the only one that can edit posts.
(Otherwise I'd have split this discussion into a new one long ago and merge your X posts into one...
)
A general advice for rounding up this part of the discussion: If you're very new to a forum and users with quite a few posts more or one of the most active member of the forum tells you how you should go about handling the forum, it's probably for the better to follow their advice. Not only will they mostly be right but you also show them some respect...
Every forum has their own unwritten rules and you first always have to find out how things are handled in forum instead of making your own assumptions and your own rules.
For the wiki license discussion I suggest you keep talking in
this thread.
