What’s better? We have past issues we prefer not talk about, and our desire to not talk about is so bad that we did a site with that in mind because we are willing to pretend we’re something else so you dear jerk (that aren’t willing to use/try smalltalk anyway) might stop bullying us by telling us we’re dead. Oh wait! it works! a bully has a conversion click! Okay, download, click image. Open, oops Smalltalk everywhere. Now you’re dead and your marketing tried to fool jerks. What are you now famous for? Versus Confronting a jerk that says "you’re dead” every time by telling them Dead? hey.. see that product/startup over there? yah.. Smalltalk. And proudly preserve the integrity of Smalltalk’s design principles as always and more?
