            Yeah, imagine how unpleasant it was for the people who were trying to be helpful but he chose to set up and attack for being so.

            His whole "making me feel stupid" thing is just BS. Another person can't really make you feel stupid, only you can make yourself feel stupid. What a line to use.

              Had he just been willing to admit he was confused and either ask for help, or read what was provided to him, it could have been a useful, educational thread. Instead, he decided to take offense to not knowing everything and lash out at others for his own shortcomings. He could have handled that well, quite easily, and looked very normal as it is a completely normal thing to be confused about.

                  Great article and a good example of what happened.

                    This paragraph sums it up well: "Victim blaming is not just about avoiding culpability—it's also about avoiding vulnerability. The more innocent a victim, the more threatening they are. Victims threaten our sense that the world is a safe and moral place, where good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. When bad things happen to good people, it implies that no one is safe, that no matter how good we are, we too could be vulnerable. The idea that misfortune can be random, striking anyone at any time, is a terrifying thought, and yet we are faced every day with evidence that it may be true."

                    That, and I assume that lots of people feel that they have technical gaps and prefer to feel coddled than to feel that they should be exposed. Humans react negatively to the pressure to improve ourselves, which comes from identifying flaws, gaps, mistakes, etc.

                        Now we've got moderators violating policy and trying to make the OP look good. Glad that we screen capped it here.

                          This is great.. LOL.

                          Now the moderators are actively telling community members to just mute anyone that isn't giving them the answer they want..

                            @dustinb3403 what BS. I reported the OP for going off topic immediately. And was told that they it was fine and the off topic stood. Then all the most on topic stuff that there was was removed!

                                It's cool I took a screenshot of the entire thread around post 12, with the users name etc.
