That's a pretty awesome rant! Bill, could you please email me
your mailing address? I'd be glad to send you a DConf
T-shirt. Thanks! -- Andrei
Quitting a well paying job at Facebook to peruse a hobby
sounds like something a person going through midlife crisis
would do. You may keep the T-shirt. I suggest you smoke some
DMT (and have a breakthrough), or have a few Ayahuasca
sessions. If that doesn't set you off on a path to the
greatest positive impact, then nothing ever will. Everything
you've desired to achieve with D is a construct of your ego,
and nothing more.
This is completely over the line. Personal attacks of this
nature are absolutely unwarranted and unwelcome here.
He started it.
If I get up on a stage with a grin splitting my face and talk
about how great D is, I'm considered a hero. But if I criticize
D for it's flaws, then I'm a troll or someone who is just
ranting. Anybody has the right to criticize D, just as people
have the right to praise it. If D is part of your identity to
the point where you can't stand hearing people criticize it and
then get offended, then you have issues. Grow up.
