Did I do something wrong?

She asks a question. I answer it, albeit rather tersely. I'm not paid enough to be nice to people, y'know? She replies rather snittily (or so I thought). I point out the error in her statement, and I get called a bitch?

*looks down*

Nope, no fur. Still a biped.

Edit: She also appears to take offense to my answering questions I don't know with "you should check the support area". Well, I'm sorry, but I'm starting to notice that asking questions off of the support area tends to lead you to get a number of erroneous answers. Sad, but true.

(That, or I've been saying a lot of VERY wrong things to people on the boards, a truly scary thought)

Edit: I love you guys, I really do. But, please, can we stop troll-feeding? Sooner or later LJDrama or fandom_wank is going to pick up on it, and those people hate me. Which doesn't really bother me, but I like my actual journal being the first google result again.

Edit again: We're all made up.

Our love. It's so special.

It's weird how these things happen. If I google my name, it's nothing from my actual journal that comes up.

I'm not seeing the bitch connection.

That's where the word bitch comes from. Her pet name, I guess, was bitch.

I don't know. A friend's senior project was on this, she could explain better. But yeah.

That's not what it says. What it says is that the use of the word for "female dog" in various languages has to do with her symbol being a female dog. The word bitch doesn't come from her pet name.

Yup. Even without looking.

lj_maintenance is often not much better.

I wonder whether those who post there read the comments; I'd probably go insane if I had to.

[pne.livejournal.com]

as in, even more insane than I am now.

I don't feel you were wrong, you weren't nasty or anything. The response I would have given would have been something along the lines of "D'oh, I feel stupid, thanks so much." then go off and read the faqs. I have brain dead moments myself and post stupid things, but going on the defensive when the goof is pointed out makes one go from seeming a little spacey or slow to puposefully stupid.

You were being helpful; she was being an idiot.

If you let idiots get to you, then they win.

Unless you assassinate them.
