This is SO true. I'm the same way with not being very knowledgeable about how all of this works, I am trying though.
Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

Up tell just recently that guy was me so please give him a break. If I had know anything about coding I would have tried the same thing.

(Just saying)
I think that's one of the things a lot of developers forget after a while: what its like being a regular user. Developers might not know exactly how a program works, but we do have a general idea of what is and isn't feasible in a given context. Regular users don't even know where to begin; the moment you start mentioning things more complex than, say, Word, their eyes tend to kinda glaze over. Its not their fault, really, unless they're just willfully ignorant and refuse to learn even the simplest things. Though, on the other hand, it won't stop me from cracking the occasional "dumb user" joke.
I have to agree that this particular case is not of a stupid user. He is unaware of the amount of work involved, but that is not surprising or extreme, and the fact he knows the reason to be OpenGL is a lot more than I can say for some users. This would have been bad if he was asking for a mod to make his GPU newer, but this? Not really.

There are few of these cases though. Most cases are "StupidIDExceptions" (Thank you for that new term BTW
)
You should see how people are reacting to StupidIDExceptions...^

As far as i've seen Reika operates like an old OS which gives you one line messages like:
"Fixed"
"Jar.Zip"
"Yes"
"Update"
"???" (Translates as Syntax Error)
And occasionally an awesome Screen shot which will be implemented in future version.
You shouldn't get offended in any way imho. Thats the way he works
Why does certain people believe that modders care about their packs? Like, why?!
no idea. they seem to think that them not supporting your mod will eat away at your soul and cause the mod to collapse.
In other news, a new favorite term for me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming
Example:
"Why are you using relay methods? You should try to minimize the number of function calls you make!"
"Why?"
"Because it is the rule!"
"Why is it the rule? Is there a good reason?"
"There must be, I was taught that way!"
...And then you look it up and find that function calls were expensive in FORTRAN in 1973.
Another example:
"Oh jesus stop it with all the local variables. Are you trying to waste RAM?"
"Would you prefer an entire formula be in one line?"
"Yes!"
"You do realize that 500 bytes is not 40% of your RAM anymore, right?"

Erm...WOW. I pity the poor fool that had to type that monstrosity more than once. To clear that...thing from my mind, I shall now venture to the store for crisps, so I may more thoroughly enjoy my guacamole.

If someone had built his pack properly; his users won't need to be changing IDs.
I think you've saved yourself some tech support troubles.
Speaking of dumb code, an example from vMC in the Block class:
Code:
public void dropBlockAsItem(World world, int x, int y, int z, int fortune) {
dropBlockAsItemWithChance(world, x, y, z, fortune, 1);
}
public void dropBlockAsItemWithChance(World world, int x, int y, int z, int fortune, float chance) {
dropBlockAsItem_do(world, x, y, z, fortune, chance);
}
private void dropBlockAsItem_do(World world, int x, int y, int z, int fortune, float chance) {
dropBlockAsItem_do_do(world, x, y, z, fortune, chance);
}
private void dropBlockAsItem_do_do(World world, int x, int y, int z, int fortune, float chance) {
<actual drop code>
