Sorry :\
1. I classify the above as speculation on my part, namely to put it in
other words (not featuring any individual):
"this work take a lot of low-level hacking meaning that investigating
symbols output by compiler and their meaning is least of problem there
usually"
That's ALL I meant to say here. You can frame it like advice, insult,
promotion or whatever you fell like (it's not like I or someone else
can stop you).
The trouble is I only see what you write, not what you think.
What you're writing here is very clearly different in tone from what you
said before, even if it wasn't intentional.
(Usually the onus is more on the speaker to get his words across, not on
the reader to try and decipher them.)
Sorry, like Roman said I'm not native speaker. And I'm not sure of the
emotional component of things I type. To be honest no matter what form I
use I tend to be neutral in general (or so I thought).
(Except some very rare cases. I recall that I told something harsh in
response to the "brilliant idea" of turning enforce into assert with
some version statement)
2. The sarcasm is not lost on me, but for some reason I _think_ you
are/were outraged way before my post.
"Outraged"? Not sure at what you're referring specifically...
I meant something like this:
> Good luck getting the C-runtime part of the "D runtime" right..
...
> If you have any idea how to implement things like TLS, SEH, and the
like, then PLEASE, share them!
You were almost shouting or demanding (or so it seemed to me). I think
this was the first time I insulted somebody uninterruptedly and that
went totally unexpected for me.
Being outraged doesn't help sort out things 99% of time (this is my
assertion you may disagree).
Totally agree... though (until now) I didn't see any attempt at "sorting
out" anything. (The second comment only made things worse.)
Good.
And bad, as it seems I need to refresh my word/phrase selection :)
3. If anything the mailing list/NG is not technical support
(especially "general discussion ones") I'm not obliged to offer you
any help. It's all about sharing opinions.
Yes, and I wasn't asking for you to offer me help either.
But insulting people -- yeah, It's against my expectations to go on an
NG and be told I'm too stupid to do something. Even if it's your opinion.
If anything I'm not about to make any statements aimed at a particular
person. If there was insult, I'm sorry as I failed to spot emotional
context of things I posted.
So take it or ignore it and let's move on.
Sure, if you'd like to. (I didn't get that message from you until now.)
OK, glad we are (sort of) having some agreement.
