Being polite is quite tough in certain situations but I always try to make myself comfortable with it. It want take much from you,one has to assess the situation well.While asking for help its absolutely necessry to ask it nicely else you know what is going to come your way…?? The answer is “NOTHING”.The other thing i want to share is there are few people who has that quality of sound which always seems rude even if it was not mean rude. So its entirely dependent on the listener.

I didnâ€™t ask that you to fix it for my sake – I asked you to fix it for the sake of Word Press users who use plugins. You may not have liked the words FIX and CORRECT but everyone adds their own voice inflection to what they read. Each of those words was proceeded by a â€˜pleaseâ€™.

Iâ€™m sorry if my request was interpreted as â€˜harshâ€™ – it wasnâ€™t my intention. Have a nice Christmas.

Thankfully I have never come across demands for change but I have seen it in other places. I have tended to put it down to the person having English as a second language because often what seems a reasonable sentence structure in one language is different in another, but of course there are people who just get themselves wound up and act aggressively from the start.

You certainly do catch more flies with jam than a hammer.

I didn’t say you were a ‘bad programmer’ – I said it you were using a ‘bad practice’ there is a difference. I also said that the continued use of this practice would likely create more problems with other plugins in the future – so I was giving you a ‘heads up’. Writing a plugin that does not ‘play nice’ with others is a good way to insure that no one will use it. As a result, all of your hard work and effort will be silently ignored.

I didn’t ask that you to fix it for my sake – I asked you to fix it for the sake of Word Press users who use plugins. You may not have liked the words FIX and CORRECT but everyone adds their own voice inflection to what they read. Each of those words was proceeded by a ‘please’.

Plugin incompatibilities are generally not a ‘fact of life’ in the Word Press back-end and they should never occur on administration pages written for other plugins. Incompatibilities occur on the user front end and even then something can be done to correct them.

I’m sorry if my request was interpreted as ‘harsh’ – it wasn’t my intention. Have a nice Christmas.
