Newbies don't learn C++

[Paul]

I simply cannot understand why you keep posting here. You apparently do
not like C++ and do not like the people so what is your point in hanging
around?

I don't like the way C++ is being interpreted by some members of this
particular community.
This doesn't stop me from monitoring these newsgroups and correcting random
people when necessary.

You raised an argument about the meaning of 'input' with me and I hadn't
even written a line of C++ code in over 5 years. Because you and others were
'respected' members of this newsgroup doesn't make it correct for you to
dismiss me with personal degradation and attempting to bully me out of the
picture.
The fact is that I was correct and you were just incapable of admitting you
were wrong.

Even when I recently corrected your misinterpretation of the standards re:
"an object is *simply* a region of storage."
You could not correct yourself clearly and instead decided to to veer of in
a direction of personal degradation towards me in the context that I was
not worthy of your reply etc etc.

This is supposed to be a peer2peer newsgroup but you seem to consider some
peers more important than others and think some form of hierarchy exists.
And you are trying to manipulate this newsgroup hierarchy to avoid admitting
your mistakes.

This post of yours is blazing example of your newsgroup hierarchy theory in
an attempt to further alienate me from the group.

I simply cannot understand why you can't figure it out! He has found a
home here with several people willing to respond to his drivel. Scan
through the huge number of posts he has received in this thread alone.
Then ask yourself how rewarding it would be to stand on a desert island
and shout hour after hour, day after day with no response. Paul has been
at it a month or so and has had great success in getting responses.
Perhaps he is going for some trollmeister all time great award.

You're the one drivvelling around here, although I suspect in reality its
probably more likely dribbling.

Trolls like to be fed, and while people-who-are-smart-enough-to-know-
better continue to feed them, they will always hang around.

No, he won't. He does not handle logical falacies very well and has
too few technics at that. IMO he is just another person with too much
time on his hands, too full of himself and with too little prospects
in life.

I 've had hope of bringing him to be useful but people calling him a
troll doesn't really help. What I don't uderstand is people continuing
to read a thread only to point out how trollish he acts when one can
simply killfile the subject.

I thought I'd killfiled all those trolling idiots.
There's always one or two that slip through the net

I was programming Windows COM Objects 10 years ago , and I'm not interested
in that anymore.Its old tech.
It appears to me that "the C++ community" has become very confused, since I
last visisted the world of C++.

To someone who did not adapt during the past 10 years, this might seem
like a reasonable explanation, yes. It's certainly easier to insist on
the world's flatness and that everybody who thinks the world is round
is confused than to question your beliefs and learn something new --
so to speak.

I hate to dig up such an old post. But since you mentioned "Windows
COM Objects 10 years ago ... not interested in that anymore ... Its
old tech" I thought I should share the following video link. It's kind
of topical and probably of interest to many other readers as well:

"C++ renaissance"
http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Craig-Symonds-and-Mohsen-Agsen-C-Renaissance

Microsoft employees Craig Symonds and Mohsen Agsen reminisce about the
old COM days and what interesting things happened in "C++ land" since
then. The difference is that they sound much more optimistic w.r.t. C+
+ than you do. But maybe they are also confused. ;-) Anyhow, enjoy!

Cheers!

I thought you had unsubscribed from this newsgroup?


In C++ a member function is a part of a class not part of an

object.

That went over my head. Can you elaborate in the difference??

Thx,
