Who here has been alienated anyone? Aside from you trying to shut me down 
Mikeal? Link me, anyone.


You don't have to be trolling to be alienating and counterproductive, which

I certainly gained a lot more knowledge about threading than when I asked 
for an explanation in February of why Isolates was being cancelled. It may 
not lead to directly useful things for everyone, here, now but it's part of 
a wider dialectic, and I charge all civilized people with the 
responsibility to engage or at least be willing to permit dialectics to 
happen. I want to learn, I have learned: things were gained. Please deny 
that.

My main point is that this is a mailing list for discussion. 5% of topics 
are about node core. Should I show up in all them and tell them, on behalf 
of Mikeal, stfu, you're damaging our community? Would you like that? If 
not, just gtfo out of a useful constructive thread we're trying to have for 
interested parties on prospective ways of making Node core better: we're 
certainly closer to home than 95% of this mailing list. Do you deny that?

I dunno. This is getting dangerously close to being technically topical: I 
for one have already challenged this thread that there is not much 
information on the failure of isolates, on where multi-threading has gone 
awry, and I hereby BEG you to find me some good juicy meat on why. I did 
try searching, I said that, and I already said this thread provided me a 
lot more background than I ever knew before. And still, in spite of you 
insisting we all respectfully STFU, I get fantastic new answers such as 
Paddy Byers contributing really detailed info we've, best I can tell, never 
had before.

I really really want to just be quiet about the last proposition, say 
nothing about it. 'satisfying your own intellectual curiosity at the 
expense of others'? You really think A) I expect satisfaction, or B) 
there's an expense here? Don't we have the faculty to not get dragged down 
by this if we're not interested? How much time am I or anyone else 
demanding of anyone? I'm sorry Mikeal: again, pass the hemlock: not only 
are you persecuting a victimless crime, now you're actually accusing me of 
being bad for trying to raise questions.

What gives Isaac hives is the endless conversations you engage in on this

And again I repeat the stance I issued you last: you and Isaac need to, for 
your own and everyone elses sakes, find ways to disengage and:

Lighten up people


Could not be an easier thing to deal with. Not sure why you're making it so 
hard.
