Please look at yourself from my shoes for a minute...
However, It seems people here are too eager to jump to conclusions and judge others. By judging I mean being snobby and well, this whole post is a great example of how rude most are.
I have no doubt you are directing it at me for asking you to search.
So sorry for my pitty me story, but I have a lot on my plate, a lot to learn as it is, and I was hopeful this place would be more supportive than RTFM and do a effing search. BTFW, I had to google what RTFM even meant! I don't know what the hell ISCIS or what the f* it is, or any of the other BS acronyms are! I have tried read the effing manual and I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Yes I am over my damn head, but I am trying to do something for my kids, so take a walk off a short plank!
Yep.. I asked you to search. Do you know why I asked you to search?
May I ask why you didn't ask me before judging me and deciding on my motives and reasons for asking you to search? Especially since you are calling me out for judging you when you clearly did the same thing by calling someone (most likely me) snobby and rude.
I asked you to search not because I'm snobby and wanted to give you an RTFM answer. I asked because you'd get more of an answer than I could provide on my cell phone trying to search the forums. There was no snobiness or anything involved. And I didn't judge, most certainly not as much as you.
There are so many Dell controllers out there I can't even keep track of what is and isn't "truly compatible" with FreeNAS. That's it. That's the ONLY reason I asked you to search. So despite me trying to help you, I feel
I was judged, very quickly and very harshly I might add.
So please, before
you judge
me and try to tell me how
I am acting, please ask yourself if you are judging, because from my perspective you absolutely are. Even to the point of being up front about what you've judged us as.
So please stop judging
me (and anyone else that might be helping you) because I/we don't like being classified as judging someone when we're clearly being judged ourselves. We've got about 10 regulars and that's all. Burn those 10 bridges and you'll have
zero help from anyone when you come back and have a serious problem that isn't so searchable in the forum. Yes, we're small enough that if just 5 people were you add you to their ignore list, you'll never get any kind of technical help again from the forum.
