| Jun 21, 2017 at 21:38 | comment | added | Joseph Farah | @thumbtackthief i'm just a regular user here, but ive been reading through this thread (the conversation between you and various mods) and it really all seems like a civil, normal discussion to me. I understand the initial misunderstanding may have soured things a little, so can I suggest taking a little respite and then taking another look at the conversation? This site really is a good one and in my experience I've found the moderators to be patient and helpful. I think it would be great to repost your updated code, and, as a python user, I will personally look over it if you want. :) | |
| Jun 21, 2017 at 3:08 | comment | added | thumbtackthief | @Mat'sMug Thank you, but I had one specific problem I had to address. I made a mistake in deleting too much and tried to set it right, and that upset people. No matter; moderator is still coming after me and I think it's best that I just leave this site. It's disappointing how one bad apple can ruin things. | |
| Jun 21, 2017 at 2:42 | comment | added | Mathieu Guindon Mod | @thumbtackthief I'm sorry it turned out like this. You're welcome to write a little something for yourself (so that you own the rights to that code) and present it to reviewers for the real CR experience (see community-challenge for some ideas). Err on the safe side, always post your code online. "MCVE"s, snippets stripped of context and boiled down to one specific potential issue do well on Stack Overflow, but aren't exactly the best fit for CR; reviewers are free to comment on anything, because they're your other eyes - omitting "irrelevant code" is counter-productive! | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 19:28 | comment | added | thumbtackthief | @SimonForsberg Thank you but this has all left a very bad taste in my mouth and I'm just going to try to muddle through it myself. I tried deleting the question but was unable as it already had an answer (understandable) | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 19:23 | comment | added | Simon Forsberg Mod | @thumbtackthief I'd just like to remind you that one option that you have is to post a follow-up question, now one with your corrected and improved code from the previous answer. | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 18:35 | comment | added | thumbtackthief | I appreciate it. Across the board, though, some moderators do not seem to be trying very hard to be civil. Something to look into. Thank you for your help and your explanations. | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | janos Mod | @thumbtackthief I trust that you understood the explanations, so I unlocked the post now. I understand that you perceived the moderator's comment inappropriate. I can assure you that we constantly try to be civil. No harm was meant. | |
| Jun 20, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | thumbtackthief | Well, I can't accept any answer since it's locked. Thank you for your reasoned response. You mostly have it correct, except for the fact that the answer contained other helpful suggestions, and I commented on the one in question (which sure, was my fault for leaving it out in the first place. I was trying to correct my own error). I still don't think that language is appropriate from a moderator, especially toward someone who--based on reputation--is probably fairly new to the site. | |
