you explicitly stated that someone specific had some type of character flaw as you see it....and then get all bent ouf of shape when that poster responds and call them "offended" and "soft".Meltdown99 said:
If you are offended by the question I asked, you are beyond soft...how about suck it up buttercup. The poster could have ignored, not that hard. Do not engage in a forum of the anonymous posters and then try to set the rules...brianlux said:
What is wrong with soft? Why do people need to toughen up? I hear those things said a lot as if they are a given. Some people are more sensitive than others. Is that a problem? Honest question.Meltdown99 said:
That may be. But if you get offended by someone's comment on the internet. You are soft, people need to toughen up. Nothing offensive was said to that particular poster. By the way, that poster could choose to ignore. If I'm in the right mood and you start quoting me about stupid shit, the debate is on...if I'm not in the mood I move on...brianlux said:
Perhaps, but that illustrates one of the problems with technology- the difficulty of communicating well and clearly on-line. Words are only 7% of communication, all the rest is body language, facial expression and tone of voice, none of which you get here. That makes offending and being offended much easier. I think we should all meet up at an I-Hop in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for coffee and discussion time once a week.Meltdown99 said:
Yeah, it was. I have not made an offensive comment to you. You are easily offended. Toughen up. It just the internet...my gawdnjnancy said:

Freaky.
Is this like a badge of honour. It seems people go out of their way to say they never used Apple products...that's funny
And adding 'that's funny' makes no sense.
But you've seen some of my posts and I have no room to talk - you have just declared yourself to be the decider of what I may post and if it is acceptable. That's rather personal for a person that I don't know.
I have no desire to 'debate' with you. Debate is fun. This is not.
that's called trolling. it's actually the very definition. you say "the poster could have ignored". like somehow the accused is in the wrong for responding to the accusation. well, you could have just not said it in the first place.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
Yeah but I think you can understand how some can get under your skin here and push you to have a meltdown. Great user name recently.HughFreakingDillon said:

Ultimately that is what will stall the driverless vehicle's. Driverless vehicles will have to share the road with us drivers.Thoughts_Arrive said:Not sure I'd want to get into a driverless vehicle or train/tram. What if some hackers get into the system and cause it to crash?Give Peas A Chance…0 -

There are already many examples of driverless subway/metro systems around the world that operate with very good safety records, including Vancouver's SkyTrain. The first driverless train system came into use in the 1980s. If you have traveled at all and use public transit, you may well have already ridden in driverless vehicles.
All these "what ifs?" about driverless vehicles ignore the fact that human drivers cause fatal crashes every day.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
