[snip two similar points] I quote from my original Palemoon comment: ==================================== Please understand, I completely support their right to dictate what is done in the name of their trademark. But the way they treated the person was inexcuseable, and even though halfway decent browsers are hard to find, I immediately uninstalled Palemoon from all my computers. ==================================== In response to the BSD guy, Wendell W. Whosthisguy started commanding Mr. BSD to act in a certain way. Whether Mr. Whosthisguy is right or wrong matters none: I don't do business with people like that. Mr. BSD rightfully asked to speak to the boss. Mr. Boss was insulting and threatened legal action, in the very first communication. When someone's first reaction is to lawyer-threaten, I have nothing further to do with the guy. I don't run software created by dicks, and if a software creation entity is a dick, I'll let all my friends know about it, even if what the dick was doing was legally on the up-and-up. Most browsers suck, but with Qupzilla, surf, vimb, xombrero/xxxterm, midori, opera, dillo, netsurf and others, there's no need to use software made by dicks.
