Ho ho ho...
Slowly now.
variant 1:
-----------
All that he was saying was: 'and FAQ's that I don't care about.'
He was NOT saying 'and the FAQ, which I don't care about.'
If we take the time to write out what he said, we will see that it was actually
'and frequently asked questions I do not care about.' Which means that he doesn't care about all of the frequently asked questions (nor do I).
So - it's perfectly ok if someone isn't interested in ALL frequently asked questions, and I doubt you are. ;)
variant 2:
-----------
He was referring to the pointers to the rules and to the pointers to the FAQ when he said:
'with useless information about the rules and FAQ's that I dont care about.'
Then, your threat that he might get banned seems to be in place here.
variant 3:
-----------
He was referring to his search results, and that most of the results were irrelevant, thus he 'didn't care':
'I searched for Sigons in the search engine, ans the results were useless! All but 1, people like you have replied with useless information about the rules and FAQ's that I dont care about.'
I know the chances for this are kinda slim, but we can't be so sure yet.
And furthermore, isn't it sad that he got mainly results in which people only directed to the search engine and the rules and the FAQ, instead of results that were on the topic 'sigons' ? I mean, I know that this could be due to the search words he typed, but then again, this thread looks like it's would bring up such pointers in a search for 'sigons', too. So wouldn't it be best to just ignore people that (it seems) we cannot stand, instead of constantly showing them the rules and telling them to adapt? :huh: I'm just speculating here.
By all means I seriously pondered whether I should really post this, after I finished writing. My post tends to fall in the same category, but perhaps it does help a bit, so I thought it maybe worth it.
Anyways, let's see what he says.
