| Oct 14, 2011 at 9:48 | comment | added | Sam Cogan Mod | @Jerry when rejecting an edit, we do not have the option to turn it into a comment, or another answer, we have a yes or no button. If I had manually added a comment it would have been under my name, which is not what you want. If you want to go and add a comment to that answer, please do. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:42 | comment | added | Chris S | @Jerry, you're the one bringing the hostile attitude. I appreciate that you started by trying to help; but it's nothing more than disruptive now. We don't need that here. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:18 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | Thank you, "My advice: Read, Understand, and decide if this is a community you want to continue to participate in." is a very long about way of saying foad / don't like it hit the road. And you wonder why people might think you're hostile to newbies. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 21:15 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @Jerry - enforcing the community standards isn't hostility: It's the way we keep StackExchange sites from turning into ExpertsExchange, Ubuntu Forums, or ($_DEITY forbid) Usenet. Many of us have come here and explained why we also would have rejected the edit - the community seems to have reached a consensus backed by multiple reasons. I'm sorry if you feel having an edit rejected is "hostile", but I submit that you might be just a tad oversensitive about it. My advice: Read, Understand, and decide if this is a community you want to continue to participate in. | |
| Oct 13, 2011 at 20:49 | comment | added | Jerry Asher | I didn't make this an answer of my own, because the basic answer, use ssh was right there. INSTEAD, since serverfault INVITED AND ASKED ME to improve the answer, I chose to improve the answer. Perhaps Sam, instead of his blind rejection, could have taken that and turned it into a comment. This is one way of many that serverfault/stackexchange are downright rude and hostile to newcomers and inexperienced users | |
