I thank you for taking the time to read this and for trying to
understand what is being said. First of all, "Indie_Dev" is an
admitted alias for the sole purpose of anonymity. Receiving anonymous
PM is only a reciprocation of what he has initiated. If that NEEDS to
be addressed then his anonymity deserves the same treatment.
These are list rules:
1. Stick to the facts, unless stating your opinion, but
please make it clear that it is your opinion.
2. Do not use profanity. This list is not the place for it.
If a list member is consistently abusive, they will be
banned from the list.
3. Do not turn a discussion into a slanging match by
resorting to personal insults and/or derogatory remarks.
Indie_Dev violated all of these multiple times before he even received
the PM. Does he deserve a pass because he is a self-appointed
anonymous celebrity who unabashedly proclaims his level of expertise
to be significantly superior to the other list members?
His totally unfounded accusations against Ritlabs and CIFNet are
_very_ serious and should not have been tolerated, under _any_
circumstances. It seems obvious to me that what is right for the goose
is also right for the gander. No one deserves a genuflect.
It is past time to be fair!
Thanks for listening.
