Well said!!

This is completely another instance of free range interpretation and misunderstandings, this is not an arguement. This discussion initially had nothing to do with being exact, I literally didn’t understand what Optaka was referring to, both with the curve (which I can now understand (from stache’s viewpoint) and saying that the mullions were red, optaka did not say they were orange which I would not have argued with, but to say they are red flatout in a questionary (asking if theyd be covered) manner I wanted to question back. Your analogies are not applicable because they are not used in the same instance nor referring to the same thing but I still understand your point.

If I do not understand what somebody is talking about I am free to ask them or question what they are either asking or commenting over to begin a conversation or discussion.

My technical speak has nothing to do with anything and I find it somewhat rude that you believe that I cant positively contribute (and others with agree and disagree) to these forums just because all I do is post my technical jargon, which is not true. Also to say that I am somehow not apart of the general public as a member of these forums is insulting, I do not post on these forums as an architect/designer nor in a professional capacity, just because I may have more knowledge in some fields than others does not make me not a general member of this forum.

I was not telling anyone at all to use proper language, etc as you’ve said (Ive literally never done this), I was stating a fact(s) (I always do this), not telling someone to do something, those are completely different things.

I’m a huge fan of architecture and have worked closely with architects on several homes and apartments. In my opinion people go into that profession because they really have a strong passion and believe in what they do. Often the temperament of those can be a little brittle and that goes with the territory. Also, one of most underpaid professions that exist.

I know I can get under someone’s skin, but the reason is to point out the absurdity of the world that we live in and to change the thought perspective. We’ve got to take the temperature down or we won’t make it through '24.

Happy New Year!

This is a post and reasoning I will certainly agree with! VERY well said!

This is one of the most transparent things Ive heard in a while and its very true!

I apologize that I didn’t understand what you were referring to and met you with some temperament. :+1: Just know that, primarily, I am always first trying to understand what someone is talking about when i question them, I’m not trying to purposefully be demeaning in my answers or commentary.

It’s really starting to stick out in the neighborhood.

Good. We need maybe ten more of these in the neighborhood and I’ll be satisfied.
