Yes, you're right. My behaviour right now is not professional, and I'm sorry for that. I just feel very hurt and sick of someone's behaviour. I realize the community will be sick of my behaviour at this point, and I'll probably quit ranting, the community doesn't need this.
I would just like some people - Larry in particular - to realize that what he did was wrong and inappropriate towards me and the publisher. True, there's probably nothing of Michal's Cake in CakePHP, but I do believe he had at least just the idea for it, at least, and he should be at least mentioned. On a side note, I always praised Larry's effort in the past, in the book, and even now I think he's probably the best PHP coder I've met. BUT I would like him to realize that is not OK to treat people like crap, especially when he was the one who failed to meet the deadlines in the first place. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion - I have mine, people may share it or not, of course. His behavior during the whole thing was not professional. They set their own deadlines and they failed each one of them! And they keep putting the blame on my lack of coding/writing skills while they didn't develop a medium sized application in over seven months? At be honest and say clearly, to the community, that you didn't feel motivated all along and couldn't be bothered! That - at least - would have been more honest. If they didn't want to be involved in the project, they shouldn't have signed the contract *or* cancel it right when they felt that "they didn't like it", not right when everyone is expecting the book to come out. I would have been annoyed, pissed off, but I definitely wouldn't have bothered to make all this public. I don't only feel "sad" about the failure of the project, I feel I was deliberately blamed for its failure and insulted by people who cannot admit their own mistakes. It wasn't because of my lack of skills that they failed the deadlines, was it? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
