Your delusional. You haven't explained in any sane way how I tried to
"destroy" you. Your grasping at straws. Donating money is certainly not
something one does to destroy another. There weren't any strings attached to
any donation offers. You weren't even accepting donations at the time and it
was nothing more than a friendly suggestion to raise money for the project.
If I had attached some sort of strings to the money then I could understand
why one might get upset. There weren't however any strings attached.
> 4. I didn't say yes to anything,
OK- that's not true. You and Bob were talking on IRC about it, said yes, or
led us to believe that, and then you went into hiding for a month prior to
release. I can only imagine it had to do with the fact you didn't actually
want Bob or ThinkPenguin involved. I was fine with dropping it. We didn't
actually do any work on it ultimately because you were uncooperative. That's
the feeling we had at that time despite your words. Later (including here on
this thread) you even said you 'played games' with us. Which is exactly what
this was.
> Your attempts to drive a wedge between me and Patrick will not work.
What are you talking about? What does Patrick have to do with any of this? I
don't even think Patrick had anything to do with Libreboot at that time. If
you were working with him it was not something I was aware of.
I do find it humorous though that you said yes to us and then went and worked
with Patrick. In terms of selling these in the US. Though it's not surprising
after after you inserted Patrick's Protein OS into LibreBoot given you had
already given me/bob the feeling you didn't want to work with us. I'm still
not seeing what the point of that was (inserting Protein OS). It seems like
it was little more than to thumb your nose as Bob.. maybe. Though it seems
like a waste of time/effort for jab we might not even have gotten.

I haven't lied about anything. I don't have to. I will admit it is possible I
or Bob misunderstood you when you said yes. I seriously doubt that is what
happened though as you've never given a very warm welcome to us and I know
you have told me you've used deception with others (specifically to get
information out of Todd of the Librem laptop, which I don't like either, but
none-the-less, personally have just ignored).
I think you had other ideas in terms of approach (obviously) and believed
I/we were out to get you because I dislike Lenovo. Then you reacted by lying
to us when we tried to work with you (because of Jason/Josh/others pushing us
to do so). You misconstrued all this and tried to get an edge over us on
something I wasn't even all that interested in doing.
And I certainly don't think I have done anything wrong to you. I've done
nothing wrong and you can't even point to anything other than offers of
donation / support. I even did tried to make amends with you just to deal
with what I perceived was this warped perception of us. I have tried to tell
you that repeatedly, in nicer words, but you'll have none of it.
