Hi Guille, Full disclosure, I've spent the past 6 months using my discretionary hobby time programming the infrastructure for this competition using Pharo, so my viewpoint may be biased. On Sun, 9 Feb 2020 at 03:25, Guillermo Polito wrote: > > Hi Richard, > > I’d like to invite you to refrain

Now, who's telling lies? I have never "demanded" money for the competition. I've asked for donations through Kickstarter and GoFundMe. I didn't demand anything from LabWare; they were so impressed with my campaign, they offered to support it. Your characterization of me is inaccurate and unfair

Exaggeration is not a lie, especially in the context of /marketing/. We've all seen marketing campaigns on television, in social media and magazines. They all contain exaggerations and half-truths. You don't seem to understand what marketing is all about. Pavel Krivanek-3 wrote > so 8. 2. 2020

Self-promotion??? I generally dislike inserting myself personally into Smalltalk advocacy. My campaign is all about Smalltalk; I'm just the vehicle. If you're referring to my comment "at the risk of sounding immodest," I am rightfully proud of my video. It does a damn good job of promoting Pharo.

Hi Richard, I’d like to invite you to refrain yourself from posting such off-topic messages in the future. This list is for people to *ask* questions about Pharo. Not to diffuse any kind of propaganda (pharo related or not). You’re not asking a question about Pharo, nor answering a question

So this forum is only for Pharo newcomers who have questions? Seems rather limiting. When I join other language forums, I look for information about the language I'm investigating as a newcomer. This can include the language's capabilities, limitations, real-world usage, new tools, philosophical

I've found this topic both interesting and upsetting at times. I do understand the desire to address Pharo issues without getting sidetracked by other topics. However, this particular thread started as a Pharo user's success story. Didn't it? Isn't Pharo the implementation used for the contest?
