Surprisingly, the only one who came close to giving consideration to a

issues. The rest pretty much stuck to the traditional, conservative

So you haven't gone to the dark side. That's a relief.


He is an arrogant ****. He started with the name calling and wrong
rubbing for his own personal muse.... at our expense. He is full of ****
above making excuses for his behavior... he trolled, called names, and
then took it from there. It's a flawed study, done by a spoiled kid...
and really the above is just a typical over verbose excuse for his
behavior lately. Let him tell you whatever, he was just being an asshole
at our expense after being your "friend" for over a decade...

Everyone has minor flaws in their personalities, even you. Live with it.

I still don't "use" my friends for my own personal folly or profit...
either way, I was one of the first targets in his selfish play and it
actyally hit me at a couple times this summer when I just didn't need it
so it caused me personal pain and anxiety... it was a harryesque thing
to do. It was also very selfish...

Did I miss something or are you suggesting that things said on a
newsgroup caused you "personal pain and anxiety". If that's what is
happening you might stop using newsgroups and build a sandbox.
I probably didn't follow the thread properly.

I hope you include yourself in the crowd that quickly turns. Your
snide comments and subtle name-calling surely inspired some of the
'turning' - not the disagreement over the topic under discussion.
Siding with Krause's personal attacks and name-calling most likely had
an affect on the 'turning' also.

In other words, the results of your 'analysis' were greatly influenced
by your behavior, not the side you chose for the topic in question.

Not gonna' get tied up with semantics. Fact is being mocked and
dismissed by folks you thought were being responsible participants and
folks you generally look at as good honest folks, did bother me. Turns
out it was for folly, so it doesn't matter now anyway.

Thank you.

For a guy who had little or no influence on my project, you sure are
doing the most complaining about it.
