Yet you then tell me what I already know (and don't understand).

I think it's better to be a little repetitive to establish common ground and make sure all sides are discussing the same topic, than to make assumptions about what the other side knows and doesn't know. gimlet said...

This may not be couth:

Agreed. Quoting a post that is entirely unrelated to what you are saying and then double posting both are not couth. gimlet said...

every time I say 'I don't understand this' or, 'I don't think this is right' I am assumed to stupid.

This is a real pain: you are saying I am stupid.

I can't recall anyone saying this. Still, by your use of the generic 'you', you seem to think that everyone is saying so. If you believe that everybody thinks this about you, regarding such an intimate state about yourself, then - regardless of what everybody is truly thinking - perhaps there is some truth to the matter.

I mean, you should know if you are stupid or not, right?

I previously said that one shouldn't be afraid to ask questions here, and that's still true. Unfounded accusations, however, are not welcome. gimlet said...

Because you make up your mind instantly you miss important things.

If this is the case for "everybody", then maybe it's you who is missing something.

For example, to quote myself, from

please demonstrate a use case where it is necessary to preserve carriage returns.

Still waiting on an answer for that.

Even so, we might want to add a with-statement option to control this behavior,

but, I'm not sure if it's worth the effort if there's no known use case for it. I'm willing to compromise but I'm going to need a little more first. gimlet said...

So what use are you to me?

What use are you to me? What use are you to the rest of the community? No one is getting paid for this. If this isn't fun for us, then why should anyone have long pointless debates with you about irrelevant details? gimlet said...
