That is some great advice.
Those who heed it don't need it, and those who need it will be offended by it. >;P

alas, offense rarely leads to reform, but i am just so, so not in the mood to deal with people like this.

You’d think that would be obvious, I don’t get why folks wanna bitch and moan like that. I do think criticism in a constructive way can be good, but being rude about it helps nobody! On top of that Wouldn’t it be better to just be nice and keep things frictionless??? Idk maybe their hungry for conflict XP

yeah, you'd think. i was told the thing prompting this journal was an attempt at 'negging', but that requires the person being negged to hold the negger in higher regard than themself in the first place, which was a very stupid thing to assume in this situation if that is indeed what it was, and not just simple social incompetence. such a stupid 'tactic' to begin with- i would have been happy to give the person even more than what they were actually asking for if they hadn't been such a dick about it, but now i have no desire to interact with them in any capacity ever again, payed or not.

Sorry that my frustration was this upsetting to you. It was not my intention.
For your own sake, I hope you will have a look at this link at least.. https://huggingface.co/blog/parsee-.....nti-ai-methods

Take care.

Useful advice. It's the kind of advice that more people need to follow, especially nowadays.
