@shojan please come chat

Hey

hello patrick

So, yah, I need Raspberry Pi TTS voices.... I thought that was understood by me being on the Raspberry Pi forums, guess that guy didn't quite get the memo?

that was the point I was trying to make

Oh, by the way, thanks for all your help with these forums, you always seem to be giving great answers.

hello

How's it going for y'all

he is very enthusiastic but also young and sometimes to quick to answer

Me?

hi shojan

hello

I wanted to chat because I have seen several issues with your recent posts

first let me say i love youtr enthusiasm

sure thing, man.

Cheers

and you remind me of myself at your age

but some of your answers are sort of nonsequitors

ah.

I think if you slow down a little you will have a better response

case in point the TTS question

all right

you kind of jumped to a few quick assumptions that Patrick has confirmed were wrong above.

Never been good with liscensing, sorry

which assumptions, sorry?

it was not just the licensing issue, but you assumed he had a mac

like your question in Meta re: cool names for the site

you did not think it through

right

He did end up having a mac...

but i gotcha

no one expects you to be an expert in everything

yeah sorry bout that

i mean answer

so he may have had a mac but because you may have assumed right does not mean the behaviour is correct. and statistically you will be wrong as often as you are right

yep I understand what you're saying

two things that may hel would be to ask yourself what else is going on here (that is where comments come in you could have verified your assumtion re having a mac)

ok... so ask him in a comment if he has a mac?

and what is the real issue, because we have a lot of new users bioth of the Pi and of the site they don't always no what they want /need

exactly

okay.

@Shojan that would have been better

Ah ha

with regards to your meta question you had 150 site rep at the time and had visited <10 in 9 months approx

yus

but were suggesting that based on your feeling the site name was boring that we should change it

d you see how some may take that as arrogant

oh yeah, now I definitely see that.

It was a bit childish too

how would your parents fel if you suggested that your kid sisters name was boring and wanted to change it

to pippy longstocking

not very realistic metaphor...

lol

y isn't it

and I am warning you I have taken a univerity course on metaphor

Because that's a human being with individual rights and I don't want to get into a debate about subdomain rights and freedoms :-)

your parents created something your sister

yes

a self-aware, breathing human being

that you one day decide is poorly named

and this site has a community of parents

that is our strength

Note yes I assumed you have a younger sis too)

If my parent named their daughter "child B", then I would think it is boring.

but would you suggeest that they change it

yes

child b is not boring how many child b's do you know

well that's unrelated

lots of jennifers and marys

let's say lots of people are named child b

yes and getting away from my point

cough raspberrypi.org cough

I am trying to help you see how to avoid downvotes and negative opinions of your contributions

yes, and thank you very much!

I am greatful

without killing your enthusiam

Cheers mate

have a good night

you too man

cheers

@PatrickCookanything else I can do for you tonight

ok guys I am getting off the computer now have a good night
