No you wasnt, you said it "maybe should be moved":if you read the topic, i think i was one of, if not the first, to say it should be moved. its a useful link/test even if you dont agree with it.
quote:
"i dont think it should be deleted, maybe moved. there have been tons of topics about the 'best' firewalls/settings lately, and if you've got your settings right you should be able to deal with it "
A total disregard for those with no experience - wrong place to post in other words. Should have been moved in the first place to a more respectable area.
You also said it wasnt a Trojan, which it clearly was:
quote:
"its not a 'trojan', its more like a f/w test, and you dont really need to reboot if it does connect"
So what about the poor sods that dont have a clue about what (if any) firewall they have and how they function? Once again, disregard for those less fortunate than you or i.
The following:
quote:
"about "others with far less experience" - i dont set myself up as knowing everything and indeed i dont - the post had a clear warning."
I commented that "clear" warning saying quite explicitly that people would click anyways - simply because it says DONT... you of all people should realise this.
Another disregard for those less fortunate.
For one thing i am not judging, i am giving those who are less fortunate a real chance of saving themselves the embarressment of a crashed puter - those who cannot handle it in other words - let me repeat that the real warnings and how to deal with a crash came way after tha fact and are STILL flooding in with all sorts of solutions - as is fitting when its posted in the right place to begin with!
It seems that peoples opinions or posts are not judged by how relevant they are by you, but rather by how you feel about that person or your own experience in things of that nature - a typical member attitude and not one of an unbiassed MOD.
and your reply:
..i totally disagree with that. for a start you can only form an opinion on someone here from their posts. if you could manage to look on that topic from the other side you might see that it's you who is judging people - there was a warning and people can make their own decisions. the link could be useful for people with all levels of ability.
I started this yes - i agree, by saying what?? :
I didnt start a flame or an argument, just stating that there was disregard - now what possible reason can you obtain from my statement above that i had started anything other than a simple fact?As a MOD pol i find your attitude a little disturbing, this is clearly a Trojan (friendly or otherwise) - people on this forum have other programmes open as well, even whilst browsing this forum - maybe something important like online chatting, or even a programme that keeps track of something.
A simple warning like the one given above is not enough. You know as well as i do that people WILL click on it - thinking wrongly that they have enough security to bypass the problems - not everyone here is as astute as you or i when it comes to having to reboot a puter everytime something goes wrong. Someone might even panic and do real damage
I think the link should be DELETED or MOVED from the lounge to an area where you guys think its fun to that sort of thing - please!!
