1. First of all we didn't need your help. Bob's personally been hacking at
embedded systems a lot longer than you.
2. Bob offered to help *you* and you accepted- then turned your back on
Bob/ThinkPenguin. Twisting it to suggest he is incompetent is ingenious.
3. All I did was suggest you add a donate button to the libreboot project,
and said I was prepared to donate a small amount to the project. It was
mostly a token gesture. Not insignificant although not enough to live off
either. You rebuffed me (I guess?). Your response to the suggestion was
mostly incomprehensible.
4. Bob wanted to *help* you with libreboot. I wasn't a fan of that approach.
You basically said yes- and then ran off and hid for a month to get it
finished. Then turned around and basically tried stabbing us in the back for
no good reason. I honestly didn't care because it's not worth the time and
effort anyway. However that is not how you make friends.
5. I didn't criticize your company. I criticized your approach. I have
*directed people to both Gluglug and Mini free*.
6. How on earth would contributing $500 put you out of business? It didn't.
There weren't any strings attached to that.
All that would have happened would be you'd have had another avenue to sell
these machines. We'd have contributed *back* money to your project just like
we do for plenty of others. This idea I/we/bob/somebody else wants you out of
business is absurd. I would on the other hand like you to stop making
baseless accusations.
