There's is nothing worse that rude people when you need help. I had been using the IO language to write a library of generic object storage in a SQLite database. I was using 200605XX version, all worked well. I had written thousands of lines of code, it was pretty huge and very flexible.
Then I upgraded to the 200607XX version... it stopped working. It use to scan the modules and preload the necessary built-in references, but that behavior changed so that you had to explicitly reference them to load them before instantiation.
So I posted a note asking if this was intentional or if it was a bug and one of the developers literally started swearing at me and calling me names?!?!?! I was like "What the heck?! I was just asking a yes or no question" and he's telling me to f*ck off.
So I got mad and threw away all that code and removed IO from my system. Not the best response on my part after all that work (dipstick that I am).
But just because he was having a really bad day, he spread it to me and everyone else on the board that day.
