Reading Full Lines

hmm yes it is.. I dream of a day when forums are used to help each other rather than criticize each other. When I post something that is incorrect, or just a question, it would be nice if someone were to help me rather than criticize.


An exampleof the wrong behaviour:

err what? clearly you dont know what structs are then.

thanks a lot Andy Working at NVidia may have increased your ego.

Another example of destructive criticism:

If you know what structs in C++ actually are, then you won't need to ask that question.

he doesn't know what structs are, which is clearly why he asked it...

It is an example of constructive criticism, actually. It is pointing out that the wrong question is being asked.

Look.. I don't want to get into an argument. But you yourself know tehre is a page on the difference between struct and class. You could have simply linked it in your post. Your comment makes it seem like your looking down on him/her. Thats constructive criticism in it's worst form.

[wtd]

It's plain text. No special formatting was used at all. Any emotional context you read into it came from yourself, rather than me. Something to consider, perhaps?

I believe an answer has already been provided. Multiple times.

All I'm stating is my dream. I may have been right or wrong in mentioning your comment in my hope of good forums. I don't want to argue anymore. I'm just frustrated with things I've seen on some forums. This forum (compsci.ca) is particularly very good though. People are very helpful and knowledgable, which is why I'm here. Anyway I don't want to argue anymore.

Thank you.

Now, trust that we are not simply trying to be antagonistic.
