The people you are referring to tormented me in the most heinous manner for a full 2 years (from the fall of 2011 till about the same time in 2013), and the threats you are referring to were not so much threats as tentative contingency plans. *All* of the work that I've done on the FreeCalypso project so far has been possible *only* because the playing field was finally leveled in the fall of 2013 with the publishing of a source equivalent to the one that was wrongfully denied to unprivileged persons like me in the prior years: now everyone in the world, including nobodies like me, has access to exactly the same set of starting point materials. I would never had been able to work on a project like FreeCalypso - neither technically nor emotionally - while there were persons in the so-called "community" taunting me with "we have this source which would make a night-and-day difference for your project, but we'll never let you have it" - therefore, making plans of a life-for-a-life exchange (giving up my own life after torturing and killing them) was my only available option under those circumstances. > I wonder if you might now consider retracting and apologising for those, Retracting: sure, now that the playing field has been leveled and everyone including me has access to the same set of starting point materials, there is no longer any need for me to kidnap, torture or kill anyone. Apologising: hell no! I do not owe any apology to a bunch of sadists who got some kind of sexual gratification out of watching my life wither away (for a full 2 years!) without access to the one and only piece of pirate ware (TCS211 semi-src given by TI to a whole bunch of phone and modem manufacturers in 2007) which I needed in order to have a purposeful, meaningful and productive life. And I *do* have that purposeful, meaningful and productive life now, thanks to the Russian comrade who helped me obtain (and publish to the rest of the world) a copy of that TCS211 semi-src - but I don't owe any apologies to anyone. > and undertake not to repeat similar in future? Sure: the playing field is now level, I have all of the starting point materials I need, and the rest of the world has them too through my FTP site and physical DVD-R distributions, so there is no more need to resort to life-sacrifice means.
