Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this

BobJensen is rather abrupt at times. Often to the point of rudeness.
Please note other IRC nicks that are involved in this interaction:
BobJensen, PetiteMoufette
Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on
this feedback: He could be asked to be a bit more dipomatic when in a
discussion.

interactions on 29/11/12:

<PetiteMoufette> hey guys what software can I use to write an ISO to disk?
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: man yum
<JamesNZ> PetiteMoufette: Brasero, K3B etc. There are lots ;)
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: research how to conduct a SEARCH
<PetiteMoufette> BobJensen, how about you don't rtfm people that's why
people choose Ubuntu or Fedora because the support is better.
<PetiteMoufette> JamesNZ, thank you
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: There is no reason you can't search through
the options
<BobJensen> NONE
<BobJensen> other than laziness
<Khaytsus> PetiteMoufette:
https://www.google.com/search?q=write+an+ISO+to+disk+fedora
<Khaytsus> Seriously...
<PetiteMoufette>

<PetiteMoufette> that's what I got
<PetiteMoufette> Anyway.. no need to bitch
* alvesadrian has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
<BobJensen> Then why did you?
<PetiteMoufette> do you get your kicks from being a douche? or does it
come off naturally?
* PetiteMoufette (~invisible@unaffiliated/afallenhope) has left #fedora
("Leaving")
<BobJensen> and the support for Ubnutu is not "better" it is just
different
* basic6 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
* Pix has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
<JamesNZ> BobJensen: Seriously dude. It was just a question, you weren't
required to answer.
<BobJensen> JamesNZ: Neither were you
<BobJensen> JamesNZ: and please don't call me dude.

<BobJensen> I've done nothing to insult you
* lenswipe has quit (Quit: Page closed)
<JamesNZ> BobJensen: My apologies, but I don't think PetiteMoufette did
anything to insult you either.
<JamesNZ> No offense meant.
<BobJensen> JamesNZ: I suppose in your book, I should have run the yum
search myself and listed the 30 or so odd results for them?

#fedora
* ffranz has quit (Quit: Leaving)
* Technicool has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
<JamesNZ> No :) I would have listed the ones I knew of off the top of my
head (which I did). And then tell them how to find the answer for
themselves with yum (which I forgot).
* dneary has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
<JamesNZ> Again, no offense.
<mutk> JamesNZ, I would have pointed them at the documentation, because
that is what it is for.. :)
* Robert_Laverick has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
<JamesNZ> mutk: Can't argue with that logic :D I just think that it's best
to do so in a more diplomatic way.
<JamesNZ> Anyway, lets get off that topic....
<fedbot> Hey, we want to make the channel better. How about dropping us a
note and let us know how you feel the channel is doing, good or bad and
give feedback about users or issues also.

And then a little while later:
{{{
<PetiteMoufette> Firstly I wanted to say, sorry. My behaviour wasn't right
and I apologize. I was in pure panic mode because for whatever the reason
being I thought it was smart to follow a tutorial that was talking saying
to get my game working I had to install catalyst drivers / kernel or
whatever. Secondly, BobJensen I understand that you may feel that you're
more superior than most because of whatever knowledge you have of Linux or
Fedora or what n
<PetiteMoufette> ot. Please mind the little people though that ask for
assistance. I'm not one that requests answers I use IRC when all my
Google..ing has failed me. To think you're actually booty-tickled from the
incident is one thing but I would still like to apologize for my actions
as they were rude.
* popehax (~leet(a)190.190.254.147) has joined #fedora
* linville has quit (Quit: Leaving)
<Initia7_B> pm that please
<mutk> PetiteMoufette, Here is a great reference BTW. You missed it -

single/Burning_ISO_images_to_disc/index.html There is also a whole
Documentation project guide at

<PetiteMoufette> mutk, yeah I found that when I searched. I didn't know
if it applied to what I was trying to do. I simply used dd
if=/home/invisibleheero/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: Firstly, piss off
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: Secondly, It's not about being superior.
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: it's about teaching you to help yourself
<Initia7_B> PM = private message.
<PetiteMoufette> Initia7_B, we know
<Initia7_B> :-)
<BobJensen> Initia7_B: I've no interest in PMs. PetiteMoufette was an
inconsiderate publicly so any apology should be also.
* Ard1t (~Ard1t@unaffiliated/ard1t) has joined #fedora
* csmart (~chris(a)1.149.199.134) has joined #fedora
<theborger> BobJensen: thanks for the links, those are helpfull
<BobJensen> PetiteMoufette: Do NOT send me private messages
}}}
IMHO this is very rude behaviour from BobJensen, admittedly PetiteMoufette
probably shouldn't have implied that BobJensen thought he was superior,
but even so I think that telling someone to "piss off" is totally uncalled
for.
