Some IRC people are just plain unhelpful

Yeah no surprise right? Well recently I've notice a lot of people who want to be the enlightener. So rather then answering your question, they tell you, "You're asking the wrong question" or even better "Why do you want to do that". Even after a more then justifiable answer, their response is anything but helpful. They want you to answer yourself in the form of a question. Making you understand that what you want is wrong. Whats even better is they couldn't even answer your question in the first place.

This really goes along the line of give a man a fish feed him for a day, or teach him to fish and feed him for life. The problem with that is its more like: You have a flat tire on your bicycle and just need to learn how to fix a flat so you can keep on going. You just need to get it fixed because your trying to write a solution to a problem. So instead of someone teaching you how to fix the flat, they are telling you: "You should never need to fix a flat. Instead your riding your bike wrong."

To those people you suck, for wasting my time and the bytes its taken for this rant. Get off your high horse and stop thinking everyone is at your level of understanding you. Everyone needs to start somewhere and sometimes it takes the wrong place to become better.

Then again maybe it does take worthless holes in this world to motivate people to push themselves. After all why would I even be writing this dump post?

Selfishness comes and goes along way. I thought IRC people were just zombies. Thanks for the enlightenment. wait
