    Hasn't anyone read my post above???

    He is on the CIW Foundations course. It doesn't really matter how he is choosing to study it because, either way (TP or Self Study), the syllabus is still the same. He is obviously going with a TP because he said that "the assignments are easy".

    Personally, whenever somebody says something is easy, alarm bells go off in my head. It means that they either haven't thoroughly read the topic or the have read only what is in front of them and not gone any deeper. :D

    Don't forget, you need to know the folder names of the temporary files and how to adjust EVERY security option in both Netscape and I.E 5,6. I don't think it is THAT easy. Remember that if you want to pass an exam its not just a case of casually reading over the course manual (Indeed it DOES look easy if you do this), but actually studying the stuff. At least with the browser section you can actually try the examples from the manual; this helps it stick in your mind.

    One more thing god. With respect, can you please stop telling us that you are "so chilled every day". and quoting life philosophies you are interested in. If you were to call at my house and forcing this stuff on me I would close the door in your face so please don't do it here. If you agree to this then I, personally, will be happy to talk to you. :D

    I agree with you stu, expect sometimes people have such a natual nack for something that it really won't be hard for them because they are understanding what they are reading.

    If you're just starting the Foundations, just be patient. I'm sure that you'll find more challenging subject matter soon. I've just started the Foundations myself and at the same time looking into the Site Design. Like you, I'm already pretty familiar with the basics, but I have a need to understand it better.

    Don't get into too much of a rush. Take it all in.

    I understand what you mean Sam but if you have seen some the posts from GOD in the last few days I think you would understand.

    When people have been asking technical questions or talking about whatever they are studying GOD has been posting things that don't make any sense about interstella beings and religions :D

    What were are trying to explain to him that posting random things like that is acceptable in his own thread in the off-topic area but is not very helpfull in a technical area.

    We always make new members welcome.

    Have a look at some of GODs posts in other threads and I think you will see what I mean.

    Anyway I hope you're not put off by this because I joined this place in March as I am studying the compTIA A+ and have found this site great and most welcoming and helpful :D

    Before judging us, can I take moment to ask you to read all of the posts he has made and the places he has made them, no one is inflating their ego's in here. When a forum member is asked to post in the correct place and actually post coherently then we expect them to do it and not to continue to post in the same way as if they haven't been told.

    I am normally a very tolerant person, but under my current personal circumstances his posts have rubbed me up the wrong way.

    He needs to seek medical advice, that's the help he needs, why on earth he has decided to use a certification forum to seek help, no one knows. There have only been a couple of posts relating to technical issues the rest have been well incoherent. He has also made posts in threads that are completely irrelevant to the topic being discussed.

    He has been given a chance to respond in an open thread made by Jakamoko and he still continues to post in an erratic manner.

    No one is questioning anyones IQ levels here. I just hope he seeks medical help as said by others he has admitted to having mental health issues.

    O.k understand now, but you have to admit that as a new person joining it looks really bad, maybe he's doing it to get this kind of rise and the better thing to do, would be to ignore him. Its like having a two year old throwing a tantrum the more you react the more they kick off any attention good or bad is better than none @ all. Didn't mean to offend, really!

    No ffence has been taken I assure you.

    As Wiz has said GOD has mentioned he has mental problems we are just trying help him.

    You are right what he is doing could be for attention, since you say you have a child I suppose it could be similar.

    Hi Sam

    I think I joined about the same day that god joined and I would like to think, just like yourself, that my introduction to the forum like yours and further posts have been polite, understandable and to the point. Many of the posts made by god do not meet any of the above mentioned criteria.

    This is a forum thats been setup to help like minded people wanting to better their knowledge like you and me. Gods bablings aren't very helpful and degrade the whole purpose of the forum.

    As mentioned earlier I only joined a few days ago. Many thanks to those that have had the time to post helpful replies.

    Bob

    I've seen some of the posts that you're talking about. But I didn't see anything wrong with the way this thread was started. Even without punctuation, I understood it completely, and from what I read, so did Mitzs, Trip, and a couple of the others. That still didn't stop a couple of members from going out of their way to let him know of their displeasure with him. No wonder he got cynical on his next post. Even when he tries, someone seems to be on him. If he really annoys you that much, stay away from him the best you can. If he needs help, he can ask. There apparantly are still a few here willing to try.

    I have pretty much stayed out of these threads simply because I figured "god" was simply messing with people, and it turns out I was pretty much correct. He has posted nothing but nonsensical tripe for days, and then proves he's capable of communicating somewhat clearly and logically. In the next breath, so-to-speak, he complains because people are upset with him and calling him on posting utter rubbish.

    Uhhh. So, explain to me how anyone calling him on his behavior is out of line. He's obviously just been playing completely juvenile games the entire time he's been here, and yet people feel sorry for him because what he's asked for has come crashing down around his ears? Maybe if he had apologized, and then shown at least some type of history of more than one half-way sensible post I could see people defending him, but he hasn't. He has shown no contrition, and no history of abandoning his habit of posting complete nonsense.

    The very least he could have done is say, "Sorry, my off-the-wall sense of humor gets me in trouble sometimes. I didn't mean to really cause a problem." But he hasn't. All he has done is cause problems, contribute nothing of value, and then complain because there were repercussions because of his behavior. Personally, I require a person to take tad more along the lines of personal responsibility for their actions before I'll "forgive and forget". And, that's not because I want to be a hard case. It's because that's the best thing for all of society.

    You are getting the "text talk" point very wrong. No one has said the this kind of typing means you are thick, simply that it is hard to read for OTHERS. If you want to use this kind of language then go ahead but you will receive less answers from other members simply because they feel you are not making an effort to explain yourself. Don't forget, This is a forum NOT a mobile phone!!

    People need to realize that on-line communication has the same rules of etiquette (if not more) as face to face encounters. :D

    My mistake, I thought this thread began with a question concerning the content of god's first few chapters of study.

    It seems that the very things that have annoyed so many, are actually practiced fairly widespread here. I have read numerous threads that included post that were not punctuated. I've encountered post that included garble that was meant to be humorous. And I've seen some that started out as questions of a specific subject, then suddenly a member will post off topic and the conversation goes off into an entirely different direction. Who's to say that one person is more out of line than another? Keep in mind, you're not viewed by just the others in your own close net group. Any time you comment on the Internet, you're on display to the entire world.

    Please do a search on his other posts and the threads he has posted them in and you will see why some of us are annoyed.

    Well, I have trouble seeing how people's response to him can be taken out of the context of what he's been posting for days on end. And that's been complete hogwash that wasn't even close to being logical or making sense.

    Yes, threads go off-topic all the time. That's the nature of forum threads and how people communicate. However, "god" has been opening nonsense threads in areas designed for technical discussion. If he had simply posted his nonsense in the Just for Laughs or Off Topic forums he wouldn't have gotten nearly the negative reaction he's gotten.

    It seems to me his only motive was to shock or create attention for himself by doing what he was doing since he can post at least sort of on-topic if he wants to. To tell the truth, I've never seen society-at-large respond positively to that kind of behavior in meat life, so why would anyone expect it to be responded to positively here?

    And I can understand why some are. But the fact remains, that wasn't the topic that started the thread. I saw another thread that was specifically directed at some of the members displeasure with god. So why not state your opinion of him there. This started out as a discussion of the CIW study track. It seems to me that some here are just as guilty as he may be.

    I must admit, that you do have a point here. As somebody who is actually doing the CIW, I agree that he did start this particular thread specifically about that, and it should have actually stayed on that topic instead of branching off into criticism.

    Umm.... Well, then what you are doing posting off-topic? :twisted::rolleyes::tune

    When people start equating some off-topic posting with the complete gibberish that's come from "god", well, I just don't know.... He didn't even start this thread on-topic for the forum it's in. You don't believe it? The thread is entitled, A proper post I Promise.... Anyone that thought he was posting about studying the CIW did so by assuming that's what he meant, as he never did say what he was studying. He could be studying Greek for all we know. He hasn't created a single post about technical matters. He's just created his posts in technical forums.
