Oddly enough I had already read that post you just linked to as well as watched that video. I'm sorry if I didn't know that your not allowed to ask a question that has already been answered here. I'm sure that if this wasn't the internet I would have been whipped and publicly humiliated.
Listen, I made a mistake ok....I'll give you that. I got lazy....I'm a bit fed up with the search function at times and 60% of the time don't find exactly what I'm looking for.
BUT, a gentle nudging or a simple "have you done a search?....a similar question was asked earlier" or " I think there are some answers in the stickies." are all fine civil and understandable replies.
Things like:
one would have to be pretty self absorbed not to have come upon one thread in which the words 3 weeks @ 70 was not mentioned.
or
I'd almost think that this defines your online persona
Or this:
There are several threads listed with the title "carbonation" and several hundred with the someone shouting "carbonation = 21 days at 70°" so I'm not sure how you missed it.
This:
Well...if you are gonna ask the same basic process questions that we answer day in and day our without simply searching for that answer....then well, yeah....maybe lurking's the way to go.
Revvy, I have read many of your posts here and to be perfectly honest I find them very informative and chock full of good ideas and tips. Good stuff.
"But" at the same time, I have also seen you take a "my **** don't stink" attitude with some, and a few of your responses to people here seemed to have that little bit of attitude to them. Just an observation.
I have never seen a forum that isn't redundant and they are all doomed to repeat themselves over and over. Mods can get annoyed but hey,...they took the job right? We are adults and shouldn't be treated like children (even if
you decide we are acting like children).
My only "tude" was because I felt "tude" toward me for annoying the powers that be by slipping up. My only annoyance was because I, as an adult would have dealt with it a little better. Even if you had dealt with it 500 times already that day.....it goes with the territory.
My wires got crossed...I read the link you posted previously. I read other carb posts. I missed something....how? I don't know....stuff happens. I didn't appreciate being shot down for it. I think I have been a fairly quiet member here and I get most of my info through searching. (Note my join date and limited posts). I goofed this time.....I felt I was treated poorly after that like some new kid on the block. Like I couldn't play with the big boys.
I would suggest locking this thread because it is very non productive. But I know some people like to have the last word....it doesn't matter to me. Say what you feel you must and I won't need to reply. Then you can lock it, destroy it print, crumple and eat it or whatever
I just want to make good brew, I don't want to argue. I want to be treated like an adult and with respect. That is how I treat others (who treat me the same). A PM with a joking little note like " C'mon now...after over 300 posts you should know to use the search" with a smilie attached would have worked.
