    To most of you I do apologize for this rant,

    I have made an effort to help some people out over the past month or so and in return I have received alot of help too. So, for that I am very appreciative. But for some unknown reason I have attempted to help 2 people today and all I get is freaking **** for it.

    First their is a god dam kid (Has to be a teenager) saying how the hell do I not know where the fn key is and then after I respond he takes it a step further and attempts to keep the offending going more on a personal nature. For that I could give 2 fuks but, after this last attempt of helping I just wanted to vent.

    I noticed someone had issues with recovery discs and reformat so I figure I would help and he gives me **** about it. To that I say go fuk yourself. (out of respect to the awesome people in this forum I wont spell the correct spelling of fu@#.

    So, If you do not want my help that is perfectly fine with me but just do me a favor and have some respect while doing it.

    Again, I do apologize to the 98% of the people on this forum for this rant. To you all I will gladly help and hope I can get help from you too. To the other 2%, have respect or leave the forum.

    Scott

    Ahh, venting is one way of getting facts out, but it leads to mods on a closing rampage. Some people when they dont know how to fix something will point fingers to others, and then cause those people to get mad. It happens.

    Hey, please calm down.

    I understand what you went through, and there were quite a few reported posts of that 'kid', with various posters defending you. You did nothing wrong, you aren't at fault.

    On behalf the NBR team, we apologize about what happened but we appreciate your help on the forums.

    Yeah, sorry about that. But it would be best not to reply to such posts and instead use the 'Report Bad Post' feature or send a private message to one of the mods. Since we cannot read through each and every members post, reporting it would help us in keeping the forum clean.
