I have been accused of many ugly things, the least of which are likely
inappropriate for this forum. This is the first time I've been
(obliquely or not) accused of industrial sabotage:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=C52BD82E.28F72%25dario.forte%40dflabs.com.
For those unfamiliar with the project, it's a new-this-year forensic
front-end based wholly on your software.
Those few of you who know me know what a farce the accusation is and
that my intent is far from trolling. Even so, for the combined sins
of publicly contesting their license and criticizing their
unwillingness to collaborate, I have both times attracted the [rather
belligerent in my estimation] attention of the sponsoring company's
founder and have now been blacklisted from the project. I therefore
am evidently a troll and have someone's friends in NYC that would be
more harsh with me. [thisjustin: One of my new short-term goals is to
avoid both Italy and NYC.]
I wish PTK the best of fortune; they are doing some very interesting
things and my only desire was to be of assistance. It is unfortunate
that the discussion was made personal; I had no intent to allow it to
become so, but it seems the only option to avoid that was to simply
not interact. I do expect an... agitated... response from the same
party, but will not pollute your lists further with this petty tiff;
my only intent in mass-posting was to make record of the truth and
raise awareness of an interesting new project that thus far only seems
to have gotten its meatspace interface wrong.
Thanks for all the fish (but not 'so long')!
