Signed & Unsigned Integers

OK, okay, but you need to understand something. No matter how you took it last time, I did not personally insult you either. Some slack must given when typing something off the top of one's head, as even native English speakers sometimes misspeak (or mis-type, as it were).
What I have a problem with is the brinkmanship way you respond to things. If I say you said something you did not say, publicly, then publicly say something like, "that is not what I said. I said this."
What you posted, no matter what you may have meant, is not correct, and again here you have taken it as a personal assault on your character that not just I, but others here have pointed that out.
The best response is to simply say, "oh, yeah, of course. I must have been sleepy (or whatever)," instead of going to war with the one who mentioned your name and post. If I really hated you, I'd be trolling around behind all the other posts you made and giving you a hard time, even though your advice there is correct and useful.
When you make a mistake, own up to it. Don't presume I meant all that hateful stuff you accuse me of. (I did not!) All I did was say you named your variables poorly -- which you didn't -- I was just responding to the blatant antagonism against the OP.

r0shi! How *dare* you exclude sisters from the peace request! I'm going to go and douse this thread with stuff from the business end of a flamethrower just because you were so inconsiderate.
Joking aside, although I won't deny that certain members of this forum can get very hot under the collar, Ikaron, I doubt they meant you any offense. Honestly. If both sides can agree that this was all a huge misunderstanding, can we all relax and instead flame r0shi for his sexism? ;)

Sorry. Fixed it.
Duoas, I'd first like to thank you and say I appreciate that you've finally touched on what happened many months ago. I didn't respond to you publically in the thread where you claimed I named my variables poorly because I didn't want to push the thread off topic. A discussion over what I said and what I didn't say, what I meant and what I didn't mean, etc. wouldn't have been within the topic of the OP and I felt of been disrespectful to the OP.
As you can see, we're now way off topic in this thread as a result of me bringing things up publicly and this is what I was trying to avoid at the time. If this isn't an issue with everyone, I guess I'll bring things up publicly instead. But at the time I was new and didn't want to do to that thread similar to what happened to this thread.
A simple explanation of what you meant in response to my post back then was all I was looking for. I'll admit that no response at all had left a sour taste in my mouth for these forums, as I felt effort to be respectful to a thread's topic and keeping personal feelings/matters private was wasted effort and I felt I wasn't viewed any different from people posting 'msgs where they tlk 2 u leik this, ask 4 homewrk hlp'.
As for the personal insult, I took your 'Ikaron: "Desire to flame, subsiding..." Eats another donut.' as such because, well, it is. Whether you meant it as one or not, it's still an implication of 'you're a fat slob'. And considering that my last experience with you was the above, as a result of you claiming I had a poor variable naming scheme (when I wasn't naming any variables) and disregarding my advice to initialize variables (which I can't see how that would be failure of advice in any way) and ignoring an attempt to resolve things privately.. Maybe I took what was meant to be more of a joke a bit seriously, but can you honestly blame me?
I'll try harder in the future to make my posts even clearer to better get across what I mean, but.. I've already put effort into trying to keep as much quality in my posts as possible (editing them for further improved grammar and spelling, etc.) and yet I still feel that I'm sometimes tossed in the same basket of those who don't don't care at all.
Honestly I was more or less fine with others calling my statement incorrect, it was just you that really set me off Duoas. Far from professional of me in hindsight, but it is what it is. I'm totally willing to let the past be the past, I just felt like I could have come here with chat speak flying and things wouldn't be much different. x3
Anyway, I've taken a break from forums and am beginning to feel a bit better now. Hopefully I can avoid something like this happening again.

I've always wondered how signed and unsigned variables were actually separated. Now I know :D.
I lol'd.
