He's talking about Patio.
And he got along with Raptor.

Oh, and I haven't left computerhope, but I've been traveling and haven't had time to post.

Patio has been here for a good while and has helped 100's of people with their puter problems. He has helped me a ton as well.  I ain't got nothing bad to say about Patio.*

Hmmm... I tried to leave Computer Hope once for that reason, but somehow I got sucked back into it (and then I felt better).

But remember if you ever want to come back, you always can :)

Well, you don't get angry and yell at people, you are just crazy :P

But I don't think that there would be many members who contributed to this loss.

I hope it isn't about This (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,37917.0.html) and This (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,37922.msg235211.html#msg235211)
Because I thought you were playing along with it.
I'm afraid you didn't  :-\ :-\
Sorry man I really really didn't mean anithing wrong with it.
This is just a real bad misunderstand I think.

Jonas ;)

Post by: Calum on June 25, 2007, 02:55:14 AM
So far as I know it is not because of you, Jonas.
richenstony, it's your decision whether or not to stay.
As you have taken the decision to leave, I don't think it really makes a difference what we say here.
Remember though that your time spent here is voluntary, so you can't complain about annoying people - you have chosen to spend your time here, and you can leave at any time.  This goes for everyone else by the way.
Hopefully I'll talk to you in a bit anyway, but so long for here.

Jonas,

Could you please get rid of that pic on your signature. :o You are not supposed to be allowed to have pics like that on this site. I have not been very comfortable with some of your signatures, and if this keeps up I may have to report you.

Actually, I don't think it says anything about that sort of thing in the rules.
But I do see how it could offend some people.
Jonas, please remove the image in your signature.  It's too big anyway.
Thanks.
reaper, please be respectful of other people's opinions too.

Post by: reaper_tbs on June 25, 2007, 11:18:27 AM
ok, no disrespect intended, i just think it was a very formal way of putting it ;) but that's probably because i'm not very formal... hmm... anyway... i see your point :P
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: The Saviour on June 25, 2007, 12:02:39 PM
richenstony...

Sorry to see you go...

I have to admit, I was one of those who also got fed up with the way other users would talk to, or about, someone who was looking for help...or trying to learn.

I left...twice...and came back.

I have to agree with Calum and his earlier post in this thread...you have the choice...whether or not you want to contribute or not.

For those who disrespect you...report them...you have that ability and the Administrator should be made aware of it.

Don't let it get to you...and don't be drawn in, either...no need to bring yourself down to their level.

I had issues with Raptor and he ended up visiting my forum and making unecessary posts.  They were deleted...so no harm...no foul.

What I don't understand is why someone has to act so childish as to blatantly do this to another's forum and then have the nerve to brag about it to his "so-called friends".  I just consider the source...

(Moderators can edit the above Raptor comment if necessary...no sweat.)

So...hang in there, Tony...I'm behind ya, bud.

Post by: michaewlewis on June 25, 2007, 03:38:01 PM
Ya, what is it with some of the members anyways? I had a bit of trouble with 2 or 3 members until I got up past 100 posts. Is there some sort of initiation period or something?
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: patio on June 25, 2007, 04:03:06 PM
To any and all Members who get the impression i've been obtuse and annoying i will gladly discuss this with you.

But in the proper venue which would be a PM....not an open Forum.

patio.

Post by: CBMatt on June 25, 2007, 04:13:48 PM
I'm sorry things didn't work out for you here.  Like Calum and Steve said, nobody's forcing you to stay and put up with whatever rudeness people feel like dishing out.  However, I do understand your frustration.  If you ever change your mind, you're certainly welcome to come back.  Either way, I'm sure I'll see you around.

Yeah I can write very formally sometimes... but I can also write very unformally. I just do that to try to make my posts clear. There are some people who write posts that you cannot understand at all (no offense to anyone by the way). ;)
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: Computer Hope Admin on June 25, 2007, 08:12:12 PM
As always sorry to see any member go. However, I never received one comment or complaint from this user about any of the members. If anyone has any complaints about any users they're more than welcome to send me (Computer Hope) a private message and I'll be more than happy to work it out.

Unfortunately if you simply leave because of some members on the forum and don't make any type of mention about who or what caused your decision it really does no one any good including yourself.

Hello Tony,Better if you re-enlist with Computerhope.

I considered you to be part of the gang.

I left a forum like this a while back but, I am back
there now.

It is the first time I did something like that and I removed it right away.
It was just to get the attention of some new members sow they might think about Google.
But now I realize it wasn't the best way sorry for that.

Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope

Backfromthegrave has been deleted.
It seems he has left us once more.
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: Dark Blade on June 27, 2007, 03:29:19 AM
So when an account is deleted, they show up as a Guest? I just thought that he was Backfromthegrave as a Guest because that's what I saw him as the whole time (I missed a bit of this thread).
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: Calum on June 27, 2007, 04:06:54 AM
Yeah, that's right.
But, I see richenstony has been resurrected, it's not a guest account any more.
So he has returned.

Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: reaper_tbs on June 27, 2007, 04:12:13 AM
backfromthegrave  must have just been a temporary account to keep until the new (old) richenstony account was up and going
Title: Re: Im leaving Computer hope
Post by: Calum on June 27, 2007, 04:18:26 AM

richenstony >> richenstony (guest)(deleted account) >> Backfromthegrave (guest, deleted account)>> Richenstony ???
That's right, with my editing.

Nothing.  It was perfection.   Both from a cursory glance, and from intense study.      ;D

Just to close this topic since richenstony hasn't commented on it. Richenstony is back he deleted his second account backfromthegrave after I told him he'd need to delete it if he planned on re-creating his old account with the same name and same e-mail.

I thought about locking it but figured it would be best to just keep it how it is and let it get buried. I figured if I locked it members may think it's some Computer Hope conspiracy and that its not letting its members speak out. ;)

But for the record I believe this issue has been resolved.

hehe i like your reasoning. i think there's a lot of conspiracies on CH... like the one regarding the ''star trek teleportation'' news article.  ::)

Bill Gates... that is the problem. He has secretly been financing the "Star Trek Operation", and we might discover something if we keep talking about it....
