... When I was younger, I shared an office with an Engineer in his late 30s. Few liked dealing with him because of his crass nature and bluntness. One day someone asked him something about a set of plans, after his pause, they told him "I can handle the truth", to which he replied with "no, that's the problem, you can't. I'll tell you want I think and you'll say 'eff you Bill' and run off". People claim they want honesty, but when it comes down to it, they want everything sugar coated and remain inside their plastic bubble.

I like the guy; he and I would have gotten along just fine.
We did swimmingly.

BTW, sorry about dropping the F-Bomb; I was in story mode.

What I read of his work is the guy is smart and knows his stuff.
 
I never thought he was rude just some people would get upset and act like a little b*tch when told they were wrong.
 
Even if he was trying to attack people and being right out mean who cares as long as he keeps giving out good knowledge.
He could say or call me anything he wanted as long as he answerd my question.
 
Well as long as he does not say anything bad about my dog or Guns N roses

In hindsight its easy to see things in a good light, but keep in mind those searches aren't returning posts which were moderated out of existence - for good reason.  They pole vaulted straight over blunt and landed fully into personal insult without any intention of being helpful.  A few missed the mat entirely, landing in full-on lunacy.  Nobody should be excepted from the rules of any forum, regardless of how skilled they are.

And no - I didn't save anything.   :-P

I still think Tony had nothing on Randall Rath. Randall had a real knack for making you feel this (' ') small.

...LMAO. I remember when Randall started to "mirror" the newsgroups into the VBExpresso forums (you see the posts and even post back from within the VBExpressso forums).  Tony figured it out first and went nuts! At first Randall ignored him but then when Tony started to get real nasty Randall had him cowed in no time.

Wow.  Totally misread that part.  I thought he named his dog "Organs and Roses".  I should read slower.

Didn't know the man at all other than reputation but I do think he has a cool name.

I think he really would have appreciated my contributions to programming forums.  :lmao:
