> So op venting about shit is "maybe exaggerating a bit" and "important frustration" but other people venting is just "defensiveness"?

From the perspective that Haiku is a product, would you rather have people associate your product with people who took your frustrated feedback to heart or people who told you to shut up because you missed a burreid forum posting about hardware compatibility? If you're an enthusiast of said product, you're doing no one any favors by being hostile.

> Ars Technica literally made a long article about how Haiku worked on a cheap-ass laptop

Which does nothing for someone who couldn't get it to run on any of the hardware they tried it on.

> and you're here complaining about other people being angry about op being this rude

I'm just saying, it's sadly very common, does nothing to help anybody, and leaves people with a negative opinion of their community.

Ah i see you must be too blind to see others have tried not being hostile, failed and get called out as having "social disability".

> Which does nothing for someone who couldn't get it to run on any of the hardware they tried it on.

Sure:

1. People have to help you here no matter what even if you're being very rude. 2. Certainly "it does not work on my machines" to "it does not work on anything" is a very reasonable stretch!

> I'm just saying, it's sadly very common, does nothing to help anybody, and leaves people with a negative opinion of their community.

if someone could just not leave other people with a negative opinion of him/her/themselves lol

> > keep on venting about social disability bullshit

> I don't even know what this means, but have a suspicion that if I did I would have a low opinion of you as a person for saying it.

seriously? lmfao, that phrase goes for you too, shut up and get your shit together.

as for the "does not help anybody" bit, yeah clearly venting like you do helps a heck lot to everybody.

A lot of people have been frustrated about the thing does not work for them (yes including me myself) but why does OP get the hate he/she/they get? If you can't figure that out yourself, you should probably do something else instead of keep posting here.

> People have to help you here no matter what even if you're being very rude.

Not at all. It is entirely possible to simply ignore them. We even have a system of downvoting and flagging for people being overly hostile.

> if someone could just not leave other people with a negative opinion of him/her/themselves lol

That's their problem to deal with on their own. When you represent the Haiku community badly, that's everyone in the Haiku community's problem.

> seriously? lmfao, that phrase goes for you too, shut up and get your shit together.

I deleted that part when I read back to find what you were referencing because I realized it didn't at all mean what I suspected it meant. Although my opinion of you as a person is lowering for other reasons.

> When you represent the Haiku community badly, that's everyone in the Haiku community's problem.

it's truly, truly a sad mental state to consider anyone has to be representing some certain community. really hope someday you can pull yourself out of that.

> Although my opinion of you as a person is lowering for other reasons.

lower it as much as you want my friend, seriously wouldn't mind if some random stupid asshole insists considering me a stupid asshole.
