What do I have to do to get you to fix ba stats for wp 1.5.1.1? I will pay you money! I always intended to pay but I had it for so short a period of time before the upgrade came out and then bam! total melt down. I miss it nothing else compares to it.

Ok, look…

I don’t know how to say this to you any more plainly: You are stupid.

First, you left a comment asking for plugin help on a post that was completely inappropriate, rather than searching out an appropraite post or sending me email. As I have replied to you on more than one occasion in the past, I find this completely unacceptable. This breach of blogging etiquette automatically adds you to the list of people who will never receive help from me.

Second, you keep sending me emails after I told you pretty overtly that I would never help you. You keep putting your blog address in there, too, so just in case I forgot who you were, just before I write a whole kind response to whatever inane question it is you are asking this week, I realize, “Oh yeah, he’s that guy that broke the rules. Tough luck buddy.”

Third, if you’re going to write and tell me that something is wrong, you might want to mention what is wrong. Assuming that I know there is a problem doesn’t get anyone anywhere. And then I spend a day waiting for a response to asking you, “What doesn’t work?” And then, just because you didn’t spell it out in your first email, it’s more likely that you don’t have the vaguest ability to describe what the problem is, and so a drawn-out email conversation simply ends with me saying “Go find some other solution” regardless, having wasted many hours of my time trying to be nice to you, even though your brains having long vacated their housing.

Fourth, and finally, if you read the freaking post about BAStats, you would see that the latest download, the current version, is completely freaking compatible with WordPress 1.5.1.1 (and by the way, 1.5.1.2), and if you had just read the damned post and even just the last few comments, you would already be on your way to downloading and could have avoided this whole embarassing incident, you freaking dumbass.

  • Stop sending me email.
  • Stop commenting on my site.

You are among the signifant reasons why I don’t write WordPress plugins any more.
