keep in mind, this is a community driven effort... those who have the answers will provide them if they have the knowledge and time...

be patient, we all have a million questions, and there are only so many hours in the day... :)

I understand your frustration, but sometimes you don't get as much response as you would hope. Maybe many developers are busy fixing Drupal 7 bugs...
I haven't read your other posts yet, but I always recommend http://drupal.org/forum-posting. Also, remember that there are more ways to get support, like irc, project issues and mailing lists.

Hey where can I find your posts? I'm a newb so I might not be able to help but I could try. I posted some stuff and got quick answers and suggestions so maybe I'm just lucky in that respect.

Lance, you can click on any user name and then choose the 'Track' tab to see the forum topics and issues a user has taken part in. Your track page is http://drupal.org/user/526962/track.

... the user has not become a nonperson. Some, such as http://drupal.org/user/343088 , have been disappeared, possibly because of lack of tact in requesting support. I'm tempted to say more, but am biting my tongue.

I don't want to get too off-topic here, but you don't have to talk so mysteriously about users who are blocked. Issues like that are discussed openly and it's the community that decides. See http://drupal.org/node/303205 for this specific user.

... for cluing me in to the process for blocking users. One reason I replied is to remind people to be constructive in their participation here. But I find most participation constructive; even chronic complainers, such as FT, serve to make others aware of problems.

As the one who created the issue against FT let me clarify a bit.

FT was NOT banned for being critical or even a chronic whiner. As one who frequently confronts unfounded whining and fud, I can tell you there are plenty of those types of users around actively posting on a daily basis, lol.

FT was banned for being purposely offensive and abusive to other forum users (and I don't mean me, because I tossed his personal attacks on me into /dev/null)-- and that will never be tolerated. ever. period.

You make it sound as if you have to be careful not to make waves on drupal.org-- that's not the case at all. However, you must always treat other forums users with respect-- whether or not you agree with them.

Yes, and if you look at the original poster's tracker at:
http://drupal.org/user/621870/track you will see that they are ALL threads started by that user. The number of threads he has hopped on to help other users? ZERO.

I think it is a good policy to try and answer two questions for every one you ask. There are, of course, users that go way beyond that. And if it weren't for them, maybe we'd all be shouting "DOES ANYONE ANSWER QUESTIONS ANYMORE!!!". But come on, many, many questions get answered.

This is a COMMUNITY. As such, you need to also give a little and not just expect everyone to service your needs. Even if you are a brand new user, you can help point other newbies to pages that have helped you. If you've been at Drupal for a few months, you can certainly point new users to pages to help them troubleshoot WSOD or suggest they check permissions.

Let's ALL pitch in.

Thanks for all the replies, and I apologize for such a dramatic headliner, I just had questions and usually they get answered promptly and it was weeks before anyone replied. This community is by far the best and I was not knocking it down at all just trying to figure out my website and its functionality, it frustrating sometimes when you does what it says and it still does not work. Thanks everyone.
