Sew yew go to hit the backspace key, but you might have brush-passed the tab key. So guess what happens. Some stupid asshole who designed browsers made the backspace key the same key that, when not in a text field - or sometimes even when it is - the "go back" key. Notwithstanding the fact that we already have a 'back' button, they have to overlay a function to exit a site and go back to the previous one on the exact same key used to correct errors. Now the text field has been destroyed and you can't recover it. Which brings up another thing. Is there some reason you think that making minor errors - or even major ones - invalidates one's entire existence or capability? I'm human and make mistakes, that's how I learned not to repeat them. This is why we build redundancy into systems and design critical components with fail safes. Because people make errors and we try to mitigate the damage when an error can be serious. And when they fail to do that properly you get massive fuckups like Healthcare.Gov or the half-dozen attempts to modernize the IRS. At least the screwups there have probably helped the public, it still shows that even allegedly competent people can make horrible mistakes. Yet you seem to equate an accidental typing error with rank incompetence. Let me ask you this, Euro: when you're not in your coffin, what do you do for a living? How do you manage to [ut food on the table and a roof over your head, or your family, if you have one? Do you do your job competently? With pride? Do you feel good at the end of the day how you accomplished things? And yet, do you occasionally make mistakes? Forget something for a split second and cause a mess because a tiny and minor error blew up in your face? I think everyone has, and to equate my pressing the backspace key and losing a message to mental illness, disease or defect, strains all credibility and makes me wonder what kind of person you are. That your life has so little meaning in it that you think doing ad hominem attacks and insults on a cripple is fun and gives your life so much joy and purpose. I really hope you never have to learn what it's like to lose basic functionality, even worse if it's because you made a mistake. I ended up in a wheelchair because I ate too much, because I drowned my sorrows in being a fat kid with no friends by eating more. I hope you never have to look back on your life and realize how many chances you wasted and how many opportunities you missed. Because I'd never want to see anyone be subjected to the kind of unhappiness I've occasionally have had to deal with, far too often self inflicted. Twenty years ago I realized that I held a grudge against my worst enemy, the one who did everything he could to sabotage me and make my life miserable. I came to the conclusion that hating him did nothing for me and just made me feel worse. So I decided to go see him, and tell him I knew what he did, and I looked him in the eye and forgave him. Then I stepped away from the mirror and got on with my life, and gave myself the ability to love myself. Warts and all, faults and all, the good and the bad. I'm sometimes frustrated because my disabilities limit some things I want to do, but on the whole I'm more-or-less happy because I have resolved to live with myself and accept myself as I am and maybe work toward improvements. Maybe you'll learn to care about yourself and can learn to live with yourself some day. In the mean time I'll accept you as what you are: a very unhappy person with so much self-loathing and self hatred that he has to deflect it on others to relieve himself of some of the crushing load of self-guilt you would otherwise wallow in. You have my sympathy and my pity, Eurotrash. * Yes, that was an intentional error. ---- "I'm Tansin A. Darcos and I approve this message." |
