|  | | | I've seen what the people in scotland say about UER and me behind our backs. I've seen their true faces, not the masks they put on when they want something from me here. I know that dr lightning takes a kind of sick joy from being two-faced -- he tries to manipulate me through a web of lies. I have proof, and I'm not afraid to use it.
The simple fact that someone can come on here and demand that a feature be fixed immediatly is unbelievable. That I get chastised for not immediatly dropping what I'm doing and fixing an incredibly complicated and esoteric feature such as read states is unacceptable.
I'll fix it when I get some time to. However, fixing read states for a single member is not a 5-minute process. I have to log in as them, try to figure out what is causing the problem, and then determine where the problem is located in the code. Then, I have to fix the code so the problem doesn't happen anymore, and finally I have to fix the existing data so the problem goes away for all existing data. It's hours of work. Frankly, I haven't had this much free time in a while.

Still, you're talking about an individual; I figured you may have had dealings with ONE or two persons, but that's no reason to chastise an entire country;
TZ is ready to leave and take his pictures with him; this guy is no pompous puffed up UE ass; He's a self effacing regular guy who instead of taking art shots of himself in a dark hallway, put's lamps on his head and pokes fun at himself.
As far as "demanding" fixes? None of the replies I've read looked demanding. I think they just brought it to your attention, as this forum is designed to do.
This whole discussion should be deleted; it's off topic. That is without question.
I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying. |

| | | | I don't know squat about this particularly ugly thread, but in my state of excessive inebriation I respectfully suggest that all involved parties either
a) suck back a brew or four
b) sip on some some single malt whiskey
c) roll up something green and mellow
d) crank up R.L. Burnside on the MP3 player
Chill, kids.

| | | | Ok then,
I'm happy to pop another anti-depressant and just chill the f--k out if everyone else is?
Av, no one is trying to get you to fix the read states overnight.. Or even at all; both the Dr and I understand this site is pretty complex and things like this could be a million and one different problems, none easy to track down. As I mentioned before I've just learned to ignore the problem and check the UE DB manually so as not to bother you with it. I actually like the suprise of clicking on a grey dot and finding a comment now! 
I imagine the generalisation 'Scotland is composed of whiners' was made in the heat of the moment and I'm sure you did not mean to insult an entire nation! In fact I gather perhaps you were talking only about myself and the Dr, something that isn't in fact true, as others have pointed out.
As for the two facedness and 'slagging you off behind your back' that is a pretty strong acusation to make and I would like to see some evidence of that - PM me it if you would. I moderate on HiddenGlasgow and will look into this for you if you wish - the notion is a little concerning as we like to think ourselves friendly and approachable.
Often in the cold hard world of white text on black background the 'gentle ribbing' that is part of Scottish and in fact British humour as a whole is taken as mortal insult. 'Dukes might back me up here as a few times he's been like 'Why did you say x,y,z' and I've explained the humour, defusing a 'Dukes on a plane over here to kill me' situation.
I would also like to know when we have 'wanted something from you here' ? I don't recall asking for anything... Ever ? I'm confused on that one.
As for the locations.. Why exactly would you dump them all ? Have you seen them ? I mean really looked ? If there are crap pictures, boring locations etc etc I welcome all comments but so far the feedback I have had has all been really positive... ?
Jester, we seem to not get on. Not much more to say on that... I'm going to leave well alone. I understand from what you have mentioned in this thread that you have house problems.. I've just bought one and the stress is killing me - your situation must be a million times worse!  So I can understand a lack of patience and a general less than 'zippidie doo dah' mood in you.
Now the idea about deleting this stuff (Restoring the thread in HiddenGlasgow speak) seems like a good idea to me. But let's agree to not wait a few weeks and start bitching about Kn0wledge / racism / whatever all over again. Kn0wledge is gone and not worried about it so let's leave it, eh ? Neither the Dr or I are Kn0wledge and so if you did not get on with him there is NO NEED to transfer that anger to us.
I'm sure the idea that even when banned he is still pissing you all off is causing him no end of amusment anyways! 
Phew.. Did I forget anyone ? My hands hurt.

The UEDB read states work perfectly for me. If there's a problem, I'll try to fix it, but this unbelievably rude display from the people in Scotland is appaling.
...
Honestly, if it was up to me, I'd delete everything from Scotland in the DB and kick all of you assholes off this site, particularly dr. lightning. You're the rudest bunch of whiners I've ever met. But it's not.
|
the read state was also broken for me for Lanarkshire, usually greyed out, when locations within it were blue.
I also was disturbed by your anti-Scottish vitriol. This is almost the first time I've even looked at the forum in a couple of weeks, only to be met by a message from the site administrator labelling me and the other Scottish users as rude whining assholes.
Thanks for making me cry.

| | | | I have always found the Scottish guys (and gal) to be a great bunch of people. Maybe their sometimes odd sense of humour can be misunderstood by Americans but I have never known them to be knowingly offensive to anyone. I personally think that Turbozutek and pals are a great asset to uer.ca.
