    I do understand downvotes show displeasure at negative comments. It doesn’t take away the impact of the comments. There are people in the community who are not kind.

      Buddy, there are people who are not kind in every community. People aren’t apples. Don’t throw out the bunch because a few are bad.

          Thanks for sharing that, but I actually am referring to the correct verbiage and intent of the phrase. “A bad apple spoils the rest of the bunch.” Comes from the fact that apples release high amounts of ethylene gas as they ripen, which speeds up the ripening process for other nearby fruit.

          As I said in my comment, people aren’t apples. The saying shouldn’t be applied in OPs situation.

          Since you’re capable of nuance, you surely must have noticed this about your own comment. You responded to the advice that you shouldn’t make generalizations by explicitly making an even broader generalization.

          “don’t generalize a whole group off individuals’ actions.”

          “I’m just going to generalize everyone on the internet now.”

            I’m not. Am i not allowed to be upset at the jerks in a crowd?

            Stop painting my intention with malice.

            Oh. Nevermind. I see what you’re pointing out. I ak bad because i generalized people in a conversation of you generalizing people.

            You got me. Im bad. Makes you bad too, huh?

          I did not take part in you original discussion. Then you posted your meme, which I found insulting, since I try to help people and not diss them. My initial reaction to your pic was “Over-reaction much?” It is time you got the message …

          As to your initial idea, the problems are that (a) no such keyboards exist, you will have to make your own. The reason they don’t exist is because it is not a good idea, because (b) you are adding keys further from your home position and that is not good design for optimal typing. Hence why people told you it will be easier to improve your typing habits.

          When you go ask experts for help, it is a good idea to adopt a humble attitude. Accept that they know what they are talking about (even if that is not always true, experts disagree all the time). Not everyone here is an expert, and as pointed out numerous times, every community has jerks or unpleasant people. Ignore them.

        I am not calling the community bad. Why, when I say there was a jerk in the group, are you taking it as an affront on everyone?

        This is a meme making a joke about a situation I had. I am not placing judgement on you.
