Stefan Pochmann?????

[Lucas Garron]

I can see how you could misconstrue his posts, it seems as though he always means well.

well-meaniehead?

Precisely.

Because I have a habit of mentioning random names, I'm sorry.

Off-topic:

i didn't know how to pronounce his lastname until recently, as i tend to say "poke'mon" :fp:

fail

 

[IamWEB]

When people say to others that they themselves fail, they fail more, but this time it's a 'laughing at you' case, not the 'laughing with you' case that is attempted by announcing one's own fail.

Which of the following do you not like?
(A) Stefan Pochmann
(B) Stefan Pochmann posts (i.e. the content)
(C) Stefan Pochmann's tone in his posts
(D) Stefan Pochmann's attitude in his responses to others
(E) Stefan Pochmann's popularity among "senior cubers" despite his apparent "meanieheadedness"
(F) Stefan Pochmann's magical ability to be right almost all the time
(G) Getting Pochmann-owned

You can choose more than one option. This isn't a joke post or a sarcastic post, I'd really like to know what people think of Stefan. I've thought through each option seriously and they're all different, if any one of them is unclear please feel free to ask, I'd be more than happy to clarify. If you think there are other options that are supposed to be there but are not, feel free to suggest too

Newbie: Can anyone tell me how to...?
Stefan: Yes.
Bunch of random people: Haha!/Owned!/I love Stefan!

I'll be honest. I hate that. And it's not just that, there are a bunch of similar examples. It's not funny when you're that newbie.

What was that golden rule we all learned a long time ago? Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Everyone asks stupid questions at some point, be it in the past or in the future, even Stefan. How would you feel if someone gave you that answer? How would you feel about the entire community if everyone laughs along and still no one gives you the answer you needed? Sometimes it's not so much about "use the search function," it's about tolerance and patience towards others who ask stupid questions because they haven't learned how to ask smart ones yet. We're supposed to guide them to ask smart questions in the future instead of making them feel stupid just to get a good laugh out of it. That's selfish and destructive for our community.

It always makes my day when Stefan does it to me. I really don't see what the big deal is, it's just a humorous response that also teaches the OP a little bit about forum ediquette.

I agree, I used to be an impatient, rude, jerk on this forum (if you look at some of my older posts). Then people like Stefan pointed out grammer mistakes and I think I actually became a better person because of it.

Wow, this is gold. I'm seriously considering sig'ing it (expect for the Pochmann part lol). Many people need to keep this in mind.

Right, cause you guys aren't newbies, dude. It means nothing to you at this point.

 

[JTW2007]

I'm not sure about miniGOINGS, but I still consider myself a noob. I still need to be corrected often, and there's no one better to do it than Stefan.

lol dude, of all of the people. Look at your WCA profile, and then look at your post count. Now compare those to mine. I don't consider myself a newbie (newbie, not noob btw), but you do? Haha man, lighten up, I'd consider you pro.

 

[JTW2007]

High post count doesn't signify experience; often it is quite the opposite. Most of the people I respect the most on this forum have what would be considered low post counts. Mine is high because I post/have posted a lot of useless things.

like me? DDDDDD On second thought, don't bother answering that. But anyway, your WCA profile and times shows that you have skills (you're just fishing for compliments, aren't you? >;-|).

lol, I just used the weirdest emoticon, but it conveys my feelings pretty well.

I don't understand if the close-parenthesis is part of it or not. :confused:

haha, it's not supposed to, but why not, it makes at least 2x funnier.
