> Silence the dissenters. Hitler practiced that concept well! Yes, well I can certainly see your point with that analogy. Presumably, after the putsch, those who disagree with Team Macromedia will be rounded up for extermination, whether they use .NET or simply want CF to be better. I'm sure this was covered at MAX.

Obviously, you haven't been silenced. However, you open yourself to ridicule by the quality of your arguments. It's one thing to say that you're unhappy because there are more .NET jobs than CF jobs. It's another thing to say that this is because of specific features or lack thereof. Statements like that need proof to be useful. > I'm sorry if I offended people by saying we've been lulled to > sleep.

And figure > out EXACTLY why so many are moving to .NET right now? Personally, I wasn't offended until you Godwinized the thread with your absurd Nazi reference. But if you want to change people's minds about a subject, you need to present rational arguments beyond "seeing the big picture" and "shooting higher". So far, your arguments can be condensed to "I'm having trouble finding work" and "Tim so-and-so said .NET is serious programming and CF isn't." Honestly, what kind of response did you expect?
