Re: Rudeness
Dealing with HP off-shore tech support will drive anyone nuts. I once had them tell me my monitor had been in service for 4 years and was not longer under warranty. I asked how that was possible since the date code on the data plate indicated it had been manufactured only 7 months ago. I ended up buying a new monitor from someone else. I recently went round and round with them trying to return a laptop screen they sent me that would fit the computer. I have been fighting that battle for almost a month and still don't have it resolved.

Re: Rudeness
Well, you elbowed your way in here and turned a friendly and helpful environment into something petty, toxic and yes, rude. So who's to say that someone else can't come along and do their bit to make it better? If we use your logic that the incumbent members have some sort of seniority to tell noobs to shut up, then I invoke that clause and look forward to a long period of peace as you do just that - shut up. I just wish we'd known we could do that when you first joined.palerider wrote:I can't stand pompous snotfaces that come in some where and start bitching about it. you're like the assholes that move into a house next to the airport and start complaining about the noise.
if this was the only cpap forum IN THE WORLD, then sure, make it boring pablum for everybody.
BUT IT'S NOT. find a place that fits your sensibilities, or shut up.
And for the record, I personally don't care what you like and don't like, and I can't stand your small-man-syndrome and whiny crap when anyone dares to call you on your poor manners and petulant behavior. I wonder if your mother is proud of how you turned out, or if you're one of those two faced little worms who act all polite face to face and only grow a pair of virtual balls when they have a non de plume to hide behind?

Re: Rudeness
Good advice. Please take it! You're also a member on two other CPAP forums. Feel free to bless them with your behavior.palerider wrote:I can't stand pompous snotfaces that come in some where and start bitching about it. you're like the assholes that move into a house next to the airport and start complaining about the noise.jsielke wrote:Thank you for providing a perfect example of what I am talking about.palerider wrote:if you don't like it here, then stick to apneaboard, that's what it's there for.jsielke wrote:I had some time this morning, and was reading through some posts on this, and on the Apnea Board. I noticed there are a lot of rather rude responses to some questions on the list. Granted, some of the questions seem obvious, but probably are not to the person asking. I see terse, sometimes even sarcastic answers given by some of the "experts."
I will probably be banned for posting this, but after noting this, I had to say something.

There are only certain people who choose to do this and PR isn't one of them. Go back through the archives starting around 2009, and you'll see that his posts in the last few months are actually tame.
Posts asking that he realize that people come here seeking help and support go unheeded. His need to show how much he thinks he knows about sleep apnea is his only consideration.
I'm sorry to say that this thread will go the way of many others asking that he try to understand that new people need help and maybe even a little TLC, and that there are actually other people here who know just as much (or maybe more) than he does. There is no other opinion except his... he knows all and everyone else knows nothing (with the exception of a very few).

Re: Rudeness
Wonder no more. She "was" not proud at all. I mean really ... who could ever be proud of such nasty, petty, and toxic rudeness?palerider wrote:she's dead... so, she probably doesn't have any thoughts on the matter...ColinP wrote:I wonder if your mother is proud of how you turned out,
Ribbit. Have another peek. Chunky.

Re: Rudeness
Who knew there would be trolls on a forum about CPAP machines and such? The anonymity of the internet gives some people the false impression that it's okay to treat people with no respect. These are usually miserable, cowardly human beings who wouldn't dare treat someone that way face-to-face. They're almost like belligerent drunks, full of liquid courage; but they're on the internet, with electric courage. That being the case, Palerider, you are one of the most electrically courageous S.O.B.s I've seen since I stopped reading the liberal forums on Twitter.

MAYBE, they think of him as a Fine Wine, better to leave him on a shelf in the cellar corked and covered in dust. Maybe some day he will be worth something.

Re: Rudeness
You would actually get as good too much better advise from the Apnea board. They have Several very experienced members with the Technical background and training in the field to really answer complex questions. They work together to provide advise and a wiki without the Rudeness.RestlessinWoolley wrote:Cheers to the OP for this and thank people like Frog, Okie and Pugsy for their awesome advice...
Here you have pugsy who offers good advise but believes she in infallible. She is actually a real part of the problem on this BBS and has successfully set herself up as the ultimate end all everything Cpap expert on the board. Truth is She actually lacks a technical background and training and is only spouting her personal experience and opinion.
Palerider is her alter-ego, enforcer who bad mouths anyone that dares question him and the queen of Cpap. She backs him up and do Several others like Frog & okie.

Re: Rudeness
All I say in defence to that if it wasn't for a few of them, I'd still be in the pickle I was in 2 months ago. With there help I was able to have the info I needed at my compliance appt to push for a new test. And I received little to no help on the Apnea board, when i posed the same question there that something was not right with how I was set up.
