No. It doesn't matter. He makes money off this industry - off the people who buy the game now and ask questions later. Gaider's attitude is unprofessional. A majority of people on these boards are too starstruck to own up to that very real fact.
He owes the OP an apology. His remark was clearly aimed at the OP through transparent condescension. It wasn't a clever insult by any means - and he is insulting one of the millions of people who contribute to his paycheck.
2. Ill-defined standards of professionalism are a waste of everyone`s time.
Retour en haut
), the population is divided by nationality into (Bosnian) Serbs and Croats. By religion it is divided into Christians (Orthodox and Catholic) and Muslims. However, the people there tend to internally classify themselves as Serbs and Muslims. "Why the heck would they do that?", you ask. I have no idea, all I can think is that it's a cultural thing. My guess is it most likely stems from a stereotypical notion that if you are a Croat, you are by default a Catholic and if you're a Serb, you're by default an Orthodox Christian. Going from this, the Muslim segment of the population labels themselves and is labeled by others simply as Muslims. I personally don't think this improper classification should continue, but it has somehow worked for them for years and it still survives. It is used in both everyday speech between regular people and also by TV and newspaper reporters, politicians, etc. On a similar note the Bosnian people, whether they are Serbs or Croats, tend to refer to people from the neighboring country of Serbia (which is where I'm from) as Serbians instead of Serbs, yet you don't really see us complaining.
