This is an informal conversation in a football forum. Try to bear that in mind.
In a thread where people are discussing technical issues related to an operating system they use or might choose to use.
When I say 99% of the time it's the same experience, I'm sharing my personal experience and opinion. I'm not trying to shut anyone down, and I'm not denying that you see things differently. I'm not making a definitive statement or using a real statistic, just employing a turn of phrase.
Well, it was in response to someone who expressed they were waiting because they didn't want to have to deal with issues that still need to be ironed out. That, in combination with this:
So far you've told me that an early version of Windows 10 gave you problems. I assumed that it was common knowledge that early versions of any software as complex as a PC operating system is always going to have teething troubles.
So it seems you agree that there's justification to waiting for a certain period of time after a new OS is released for those "teething troubles" to be finished and for such complex software to have problems worked out. Obviously, the person that you replied to still feels there is reason to wait for some time longer.
I don't know why that upsets you
I don't know why you think I'm upset. I don't feel I've come across that way in any of my posts. And, lest there be any doubt, I'm not (and haven't been) upset in this thread.
any more than I know why you got so cross about the little joke I made about Samsung phones in another thread.
Clearly we don't understand one another very well.
I honestly don't even remember the thread, nor the discussion, nor the posts, that you're referring to. Clearly it didn't make me "cross" enough for it to stick in my memory in any way whatsoever.
But, apparently we're not understanding each other well if you think that I've been "upset" or "cross" at times when I haven't (at least not enough to form any particular lasting memory for me).
I'm asking questions so that I can understand things better.
I asked, because I genuinely wanted to know, and you declared that I was dismissing people's issues.
What you view as a "turn of a phrase" (99% of what you do...) I view as dismissing someone else's concern about operating system issues which may affect them.
Just because something hasn't affected you doesn't mean it might not have an effect on someone else.
That made you sound tetchy, at best. If that's not how you meant it to sound, fair enough, I'm sorry I took it that way and perhaps we both need to work harder on how we express ourselves.
I strive to communicate well. I'm still unclear as to what exactly it is that you're taking issue with in my posts. I'm certainly far from perfect and have plenty of faults (goodness knows I could come up with a list longer than anyone - aside from my wife anyway). But, I'm just not seeing what it is that you're taking issue with.
That said, I'm certainly not one to hold anything against anyone. I don't even see there being anything that you need to be "sorry" for - as you said at the start, "This is an informal conversation in a football forum." While I view it as a bit more than that, I don't see there being anything you need to be sorry for. And if I've come across that way, I apologise.
