I thought the same thing in his first post. However, I was wrong. It's not, "17".

I received a PM from him. He is a nice guy who has major problems... which he stated himself several times.

He obviously gets frustrated and defensive easily, partly because of life situations and partly because he is worried about not having a machine that works.

It's just that simple folks... really.

ems, i agree with you completely. he is doing the best he can with the resources and skills he has.

I didn't say or even think about "17" Ems... a while back we had another poster that had about 7 or 8 different names and stories.. before your time on here.

Exactly.

Poosibly, but I just don't have the temperament to deal with it.

I refuse to be mentally abused by someone asking for help.
From family, friends, acquaintances or strangers. Period.

How can a person on the internet that you don't even know possibly abuse you? It's your choice to allow that or not.

He spoke to me as well. I do not feel abused. You have to be open to abuse and allow it for someone to actually abuse you.

I got a PM too..... not really at all, IMO

So you think its ok to swear at people who want to help you?

I have found heaps of people here 99% of them will try to help someone if they can. I tried in another thread but when the OP got abusive, my hackles shot up. But when people can barely comprehend what someone is asking, and they ask for clarification, thats being nasty to the OP? I have worked with people where English is thier second language, and had to deal with barely literate people and the OP is by far the hardest to understand.

If anyone wants to help the OP, thats your choice. I just hope the OP will treat you with the respect you deserve and not abuse your donation/help

When you are doing quotes of other persons replies, please take a look at who you have attributed to the quote. I did not write that, Ems did.
And for the record, I totally agree with you, if someone swears or is nasty I will not help that person in any way.
