I don’t know what you are reading around here, but from your two posts, I’m the person that interacts with you the most, so let’s clarify it in less hurtful terms than including the entire community.
And yeah, I sound arrogant when I get like this, and your post certainly got me like this (but I am fully accountable for everything I’m saying, of course! ). Because I’m not taking what you are saying serious. If I take what you are saying serious, then I have to do this huge amount of work to get to the crux of what you are saying, or I can try to show you the landscape, and hope you land where you need to be.
Aside: I take you serious. Just not this particular topic.
If folks approached this by saying, “hey, I had trouble installing a theme, can we troubleshoot this, and I will contribute it to the docs”, you’d have a dozen people at your beck and call, typing out answers from their phones on their breaks and every available moment. It isn’t a secret cabal, I don’t even know these people, and based on how this conversation is going, I doubt they’ll double-down on any close association!
In the original topic, one user expressed frustration at poor documentation. Believe it or not, we hear that a lot. My technical writer peeps tell me they all hear that, too, but they could be bad writers, so… and on the good days, a volunteer helper here blows past the rote criticisms and armchair editing suggestions, and helps the person get their answer. On that particular day, someone dog piled on the “poor docs”, and completely hijacked the thread to get their own answer. And then your post, after the we solved the hijacked question!
It wasn’t great timing. It made me want to give undue attention to it, in hopes you’d find the crux of your issues with the more mature members of our haughty(nope, still just me!) community, like @alexandros and @zwbetz! But then you kept saying things, like we were making “excuses”.
Excuse me an American moment while I take off my earrings and say, “dude, back off, huh?” Like, there are responsive souls trying to help you. Please stop criticizing them, everyone, anyone except me. We got beef, okay, that’s too bad (and I sincerely mean that, this was supposed to be fun, I’ll linger on lessons from this and become a better person, for sure!), and I’m gonna get out of here. But please be mindful of what you are bringing to the discussion.
Remember that video, that person was so happy to see those double rainbows!
