My pet peeves for today...

<insert person name here> is posting essentially duplicated threads on various forums (e.g. Linux/Windows) for same issues and thinking XBMC is to blame when clearly its PEBCAK.

<insert person name here> Never posting a Debug log (wiki) or other supporting information, even when this have been asked repeatedly.

<insert person name here> Ignoring the Obvious solution when it has been repeated various times by various ppl in some detail.

<insert person name here> Keeps blaming XBMC 12.3 for all the problems under the sun and keeps opening new threads to tell us this in various manners for e.g especially claiming that XBMC 12.2 never had such a problem.

[1] Never reading one word in Op's posts! -> [2] Posting some random reply which is totally unrelated.... And better yet, [3] accusing others of providing bad advice when <insert person> done [1 and 2] <<-- Double down of WTF

<insert person name here> stating has been a IT Professional for <Insert ridiculous amount of years>.. Further and by content of posts <insert person name here> cant clearly use a computer. (in this case even search internet and is peeved he cant downgrade xbmc.

My pet peeve of, well, since joining the forum 6 years ago: The all too common misspelling of scraper/scraping as scrapper/scrapping. There should be an auto correction of all posts before adding them to the database Wink

My pet peeve for today is generalization of when ideas diverging from own, irrespective of merit and full validity and practical usability, get ridiculed and made parody. Which everyone is a little guilty of Big Grin
