Hi Jeremy, You wrote:
The events that unfolded recently, were a direct result of you jumping into a Castaways thread, to push more of that Same! views you had been asked, and told, were offending people. My reply: No, that's not exactly how I see the situation. As I recall Dark asked a very specific question which was how and why you could produce games so fast. I responded that it was because you were using Visual Basic and explained Visual Basic as well as Microsoft's newer .Net languages were designed for rapid development and deployment as there isn't as much work involved in doing this or that. Unfortunately, for me I made the huge mistake of using the word lazy in the message and the situation got out of hand from there. However, my soul intent was to explain how a programmer can cut corners, speed up development, etc and a few days later your opinion of that conversation was that I was trying to push my views on others. All I did was answer Dark's question. Nothing more nothing less That's how I see it.. However, I have not forgotten your response in that same thread. You made a comment to the effect perhaps I was seeking attention etc. As I said I was merely answering a question, or thought I was, but you chose to treat it as attention seeking rather than someone replying to a question that was asked. Attention seeking was not on my mind, and just goes to show how little you really know me, on a personal level, and have drawn some drastically wrong conclusions here. Let's face it you and I have gotten off on the wrong foot, and maybe you and I should start over and just bury this discussion in the past where it belongs. Certainly arguing about this forever doesn't do any good. You wrote: For you, well I believe you need to simply stop giving people programming advice, unless they specifically ask for it. I also don't think this means someone asking 1 question, should lead to a 10 post long campaign about why you should, or shouldn't, do something. My reply: Yes, I already know. I've already come to that conclusion and have apologised apologized or my past behavior. I can't absolutely sware I won't do it again, as old habits die hard, but I am aware of it and am willing to try and not behave that way in the future. So can we put this in the past and move on now? --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
