Hopes has been on here almost daily and I don't think he'd do that if he gave up..I just like to say .. If you didn't follow something for a while and don't know. Do some research(one or two posts will do) on this tread to see whats going on
Yup, people should've ben taught as a child to open their eyes and ears first, before they open their mouth.
Or just simply ask, eventually someone that doesn't have their panties in a bunch will just give you a straight answer.
At the end of the day, this is a forum. People are allowed to ask questions.
It's a forum, specifically designed for people to read.
Quite often, if one does read, they'll find there's no need to ask the question?
People are always "allowed" to ask questions. One is "allowed" to go to the town centre in a polka dot suit, with their underpants on their head, but they don't do it because they would look stupid. Apply the same logic here.
Being "allowed" doesn't mean that one "should". Particularly if one does not "need" to.
Asking a question which they could easily answer for themselves with a small amount of effort, without having to bother other people, is ignorance and laziness. This breeds resentment.
When multiple people ask the same question, repeatedly, it becomes annoying for those who repeatedly have to answer the same thing, cos the asker can't be bothered to use Search.
In the time it takes to write, post and ask the same question, the person asking could easily have performed a search, gained the answer for themself and
not needed to ask it, for the 50 thousandth time.
Are these people really so incompetent/incapable that they need it spoon fed to them? No. They are not.
They're just fucking lazy.
That's why people respond as such (with vitriol) to these situations.
