Why would you complain about the poor English of someone from Switzerland, Asher? How well do you speak French, German, and Italian?

He's from San Jose, Kuci.

Your English is terrible, if only because you have yet to master the shift key. You also have comma splices, sentence fragments, and major punctuation problems.

its not worth my time

Don't give me the excuse that you "just don't care" when typing online -- it should be a natural thing to anyone with good English skills, and good people skills.

i dont remeber saying that. i dont make excuses.

I don't think you can make any judgement on someone's people skills based on an online forum, in any case. In person I'm told I have excellent people skills by friends, family, my manager, my customers, etc.

who said i was talking about you? i was talking about the CS crowd in general. however, the fact that you brought it up, might say something . . .

Err...you said:

again, a lack of people skills is evident from your part.

Not only does your English need work, so does your reading comprehension. You don't even understand what you write just minutes before.

No. Quantity would be lines of code. As long as you have a reasonable definition of "solved", it's about quality.

The only reason University of Calgary sucks is that it's in Calgary.^-^

nope, but close.

well, i was trying to be nice, but since i already said that, i guess ill have to agree with what i said before, and say that you might be making that stuff up (what your coworkers say haha). theres no way any of us can verify any of it

If my people skills sucked in real life, do you really think IBM would have hired me to deal with major customers on a regular basis? Maybe they thought I had both good people skills and good technical skills?

to that question, i must give you a wholehearted answer...

YES.

you are relatively better then anyone else in the CS division.

...but you certainly keep it a secret here

[Asher]

Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

[Spiffor]

Nah, I was jokingly referring to your online people skills

[Asher]

I got that. And I responded in kind with a reference.

It's not my fault you lack the culture and knowledge and are entirely ignorant about the reference.

[Spiffor]

Is it Apolyton lore?
