"some framework to run JS inside of the page run by a web service"?
That's marketing gibberish.
Enough of your senseless attacks already. There is no reason for
this.
There are plenty of reasons for it.
Actually, there are not. Just your attitude. I posted to help the OP
and the simple mention of one method to do this drove you up the wall
(both in this thread and another one). Apparently it doesn't matter
how relevant or well intended, you think anyone mentioning the word
"framework" is a marketing tactic and the person needs to be ridiculed.
Personally, I find that behavior rather odd, not to mention
inappropriate.
I don't know what you are trying to market here,
Yet you accused me of rambling on about "marketing gibberish", all
because I effectively said that "one way would be to use a
framework" (to run the JS code inside of). Big deal?
but what you said is
the kind of talk that suits do when it comes to market software
development. man bullshit_bingo.
Not really. I mentioned a simple word, one of many solutions. There's
no reason to fly off the handle and start making wild assumptions. I
could ask why the word "framework" is such a sensitive thing for you,
but I really don't care and you were out of line.
No, it's actually not. There are many ways to run JS code.
and your overuse of the term "framework"
indicates that,
"Overuse of the term"? Really? I mentioned it in THIS thread and in
ONE other thread. Using it twice (when it's relevant) is "overused"?
Just what IS it about that word that sends you up the wall?
in fact, you don't know when it is appropriate
to use it.
It's appropriate at times when it's relevent, on topic and a valid
option. I didn't tell them to do it. I didn't say they had to do it.
I offered it along with some other methods. I didn't even go into any
detail.
You could not be farther from the truth.
Well, it sure seems that way to me, given your reaction.
And I did not comment on *that*, did I?
Yes, you did. By replying directly to me and saying I was spouting off
"marketing gibberish" and claiming I ever said a "framework" is a
"magical solution". The term "framework" means more than you
apparently know, and it's a pretty generic term at that. This is why I
find it odd that you are losing your head about such a generic and
generalized term. Has there been some troll or spammer pushing some
such thing in the group lately? I honestly don't know, I'm geninely
asking. Either way, you simply have no grounds to be treating me the
way you are. I can take it, I just don't see the reason to go back and
forth about it.
Yes, "each" (as in both of them where I had mentioned that generic,
general term).
If you say so.
coming from someone who has posted
only eight times so far here this week and *ever*,
That's funny? I post on dozens of news groups every day offering help
and answers to people. Rarely do I get such a response as yours. So,
I just started posting here, a group I've not really been involved in
previously. Why does that matter, exactly? Is it that you don't
recognize me and deem me as a "regular" member and thus have no rights
to say anything without risking your attempts to ridicule me, all over
a word used that is a general term?
to whose *two*
postings I
have happened to comment on.
Exactly, you couldn't resist and felt the need to attack me. I think
that's strange.
You have to be really strong know: You
can't even begin to imagine the level of your current unimportance
here or in my life.
I care? When did I ever indicate I thought you saw me as important? Do
I need to spell it out? I post, you attack me in response for no
reason, and I might respond to you. Is that unexpected? Why read more
into it than there is? I just fail to see your motivation.
You implied it rather strongly:
"Implied", so you read into what was said how you want, and out of your
interpretation, you find (in your own mind) reason for attack. Again,
that is strange behavior. What should have my response been to hope
you just let it go and move on? I'll make a note for next time.

That said, there is a lot of gibberish in that as well, so it is
likely that you have been misunderstood.
No gibberish, just that I didn't elaborate or clarify. If anyone was
confused, I'm sorry for that. However, to admittedly say I've been
misunderstood and use that as a rationalization to attack me (someone
you know nothing about), and then continue to do so, is not reflecting
well on you. Also, please note; just accusing someone of talking
"gibberish" (who are you, Mr. T?), isn't a good basis for arguing with
them. In fact, why are you trying to argue about it at all? You're
arguing about what I meant, rather than just reading my reply when I
clarified? All this because of a word. Wow.
The problem is that so far you have been giving advice that may sound
authoritative to newbies
So, I'm not allowed to post here in your view, because it might actually
sound like I'm posting to help them?
(because of a lot of buzzwords in it)
Buzzwords? Hardly. The answer was very generalized because they had
several options and solutions. There's just no way to win with you, is
there?
but in
fact you don't appear to have a single clue what you are talking
about.
Prove it. Because I said they have that option (which they do), you
claim I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. That's a hell of a
view point when someone doesn't agree with you, or you're just too lazy
or maliciously unwilling to read what they said because you prefer to
fight with people (I guess this is your way to play alpha-poster)?
And *that* is unwanted here.
I agree. You're welcome to follow your own advice any time.
I would grant you that your intentions might be good but that you
might have difficulties with writing understandable English;
Looks to me that the issue is simply that it is you that fails to
understand English, and nothing more.
in that
case I would suggest you use simpler (but nevertheless correct)
language instead.
I can't make you keep up. I promise to type slower, if you promise to
read slower.
Why not stick to the things where
you are [hopefully] good at, like selling Web space?)
You're out of line and out of control. This is ridiculous.
Yes, you are.
Indeed you are.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel like I was a threat. Unlike you,
I come on usenet to help people and discuss topics, not try and act
like I own the place and attack new posters you don't recognize for no
reason. Hey, whatever you do, don't change.
