First of all, to Dark, you had no hand in this whatever man, and
frankly I think you would make a great co moderator of this list, much
the opposite of your feelings about your posts.
Secondly, I am genuinely sad that Thomas has decided to leave the list.
My messages to him were more harsh than I normally would send to
someone on a public list, but I felt it was required to get a point
through to him that he had already missed time and again.
I had no idea he would react so violently.
I think Thomas is a good dude, and as I stated in my message to him,
he has done a lot of good for the community here, and I hope he comes
back, and I hope MOTA is a raving success for him.
For those of you that feel I drove Thomas away, I encourage you to
read what was posted again. I did not personally insult the man, I was
pointing out that while he has been going on and on about what an
experienced intelligent non lazy programmer should be capable of, his
own output has been stuck in neutral for years. So not only were his
statements hipocracy, but in putting down other languages that new
developers might look into, he was doing harm to the community.
instead of a mea culpa, or a reasoned response, he freaked out
instead. I just don't think there was any arguing that he was adversely
affecting potential new developers and he knew it, so he took the low road.
At any rate, it looks like we've all pretty much got our minds made up
on the issue one way or the other at this point, so lets get back to
gaming, eh?
And if anyone talks to Thomas, please let him know I bear no ill will
to him for that eloquent cussing he laid on me, I've answered in anger
many times myself and regreted it the next day, we're all human.
Later all,
Che

Don't worry Richard, I intend to stick around. I have been badgered by Thomas,
but fortunately I was never openly sworn at, and personally attacked like he
did to Che! I personally believe that, no matter what happened before it,
Thomas' post to Che was stepping way over the line. If he hadn't left
voluntarily, I would have expected other moderators to ban him over it.
Swearing at someone, and attacking them personally is never the answer, no
matter what they've said.
I also support Che's statements. He was a little harsh, but it wasn't personal
attacks. He was standing up against a bully, and I respect that.
