  You've said that lots.  Why repeat yourself?

  You've already said that.  I already gave you suggestions for how else to do it.

  Your response was essentially "not going to do that.  Not going to try to understand how to do it".

  You are entirely too sensitive.  I gave you technical answers to technical questions.  I pointed out how you were essentially lying to us about the problem you're trying to solve.  I suggested that better behaviour on your part would be productive.

  Instead of learning, you reply by whining about how mean I am.  That is completely unprofessional and childish.  Stop it.

  Superficially polite, but also refusing to follow advice.  Which is rude.

  <shrug>  You're probably using an old version, or something else is happening.

  It's Open Source.  You have to source.  Track it down, and supply a patch to fix the bug.

  I've already answered that.  Read my messages.

  AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.  AND READ THE DOCUMENTATION.

  When you say "nah, I'm not going to do that", it's rude.  Which isn't polite.

  I can't explain your failure to understand.  I've explained myself repeatedly.  My "bad way" of answering is honest frustration at *you*, who is making it as difficult as possible for me to help you.

  This is Open Source.  You're not paying for support.  Don't complain about the answers you get for free.

  If it's a bug, you have access to the source.  Track it down and fix it.  If you're not willing to do that, then the "community" aspect you talked about is bullshit.  For you, there is no community.  Only others helping you for free, while you refuse to do anything yourself.

  I've seen this attitude a lot over the past 20+ years in the open source community.  The people complaining the loudest about others are the ones who (a) refuse to follow instructions, and (b) refuse to contribute.

  I'll make it simple: follow instructions, read the docs, and you will be able to fix the problem.  Keep complaining about how mean we are for helping you, and you will be banned from the list.
