Sometimes Ya Just Gotta Rant

I expect it happens just about everywhere. I happen to follow the Drupal forums so I am accustomed to the rhythm of it all, but I see blowups elsewhere from time to time, usually involving free stuff. I am even guilty of it myself. Not over at Drupal, because it always seemed to work at least enough to give me hope. It was back before Drupal. I had spent hour after hour, week after week fighting this one CMS. Finally, I just had to express my opinions in the forums. I was angry at the users; how could they claim to like this thing when it is so obviously evil? Thankfully I did not use any slang swear words or all caps. It was more like I Give Up. I really wanted them to pay for having fun when all I could do was waste lots of time and fail.

I really did give up, then somehow found Drupal and we lived happily ever after. Or we will. Soon. Actually the relationship is built on a fair amount of compromise. I tend to express what I want, then settle for whatever comes closest. Usually when I wait a year or two the thing I wanted to do becomes available and by then I have enough practice to make the new thing work. It is a solid relationship built over time.

It is always frustrating when people lash out. I can't explain why I am the one having the fun that escapes them. I am also nervous that the ones with the mad skills will take their toys and go home and I will be left out because I sure can't program my own Drupal. Sometimes it may be best just to give up and go on.
