The question you should be asking konnichiwa is why blam assumes he knows all and thedeath - I wasn't talking about IRC as a whole I was talking about the file servers that people access files off in IRC rooms. They invariably use FTP.
And yes, people can copy from wikipedia but how many of them have actually dealt with the protocol in a programming environment.
You have done as I have done - you have taken it upon youself to attack someone because you think you know more than them. I agree it is wrong to do this and I am guilty of it. Peoples egos (including mine) prevent them from actually helping, they would rather point out the true extent of their brilliance and assume everyone is a n00b rather than judge people on their individual merits.
I don't mean to sound like I am on a soapbox but I am fed up of certain peopls attitudes on this forum, without intending to single anyone out I am forced to use blam as an example; if I had been someone with a real question coming to the forums for the first time and recieved one of blams typical answers - you think I would stick around? Of course not. It is people like this that which are starting to decline the userbase.
I think it is time that people have a good long look at themselves and their attitude in certain circumstances.
Anyone who replies to this message conveying in their demeanor/tone that they do not agree with such is obviously exemplifying the type of behaviour that I do not condone and nor should anyone else for that matter.
I always try to make a concerted effort to help those in need and anyone who does otherwise, such as post sarcastic remarks, may aswell not be on this forum as it server nothing other than to increase their post count.
That is all I have to say on such matters and I will not be replying to any flaming of this post as I believe it would personally go against what I have set out to right in myself and what others should right in themselves.
