Jim, please get the context right first before accusing me or anyone of rudeness and even bullying!
Let alone in threads you aren’t involved in, that alone is violating forum guidelines, not to speak of your ad hominem attack on myself.
The OP is not a newbie, I checked that before my response. He’s on the forum since 2019.
Granted my response was not friendly, but remember that his first post already violated many of the forum rules on respectful forum usage right in the first place.
We expect users to contribute at least that share.
And what was really upsetting me was not his initial request but his second post.
Which he responded with AFTER I had explained to him what was wrong about his first one.
That’s exposing that same outright unacceptable kind of demanding attitude which is ungrateful and lacking respect for OH devs/contributors and non-dev supporters.
Sometimes people forget about and need to be reminded of the context they’re posting in.
Clearly this is not what our community values are and yes, I, too, feel embarrassed to see this and I feel urged to step in as both, a contributor being frustrated by such readings AND as the community moderator I am.
Your very own post to the docs maintainer on the OH5 thread was complained about/flagged to moderation because of similar reasons, the docs maintainer even wants to give up because of that behavior of yours. Needless to say how sorry we all would be should that be his final word.
Let’s make use of X-mas to throttle back selfishness, get to know the wonderful feedback of being empathic to others and yes, let’s be more considerate in the future. All of us. Okay?
