well.
I appreciate you giving the backstory here, but having to include
another web server, though, is not something I'd describe as "easier"
when compared to other tools that require only one.
Please settle down and ask
polite questions if you truly want to understand and use Typo.
If you really think I'm the one that needs to settle down, I think
you must
have been reading some other thread.
I politely asked you to change the tone of your requests, yet you
continue to be confrontational.
I was confrontational to Scott because his posts were snide, rude,
useless knee-jerk defenses of his pet stack.
Please stop. Comments such as "that's
ridiculous" and "that's a very bad idea" and repeatedly saying "you're
wrong" when you've clearly shown that you don't understand why things
are the way they are now is just causing trouble.
My complaints really began with this very point; recall one of my
original points was the poor state of documentation concerning the
idiosyncratic installation requirements of Typo.
If it were more clear why I should consider installing another web
server just to run Typo from Typo's own docs, perhaps I wouldn't be
complaining about the docs.
You have issues with
Typo and want help. Is this really how you ask for help?
I certainly wasn't asking Scott for help, and he certainly wasn't
providing any. He jumped in to tell me my assessment of the state of
Ruby/Rails/Typo installation was wrong, which is simply incorrect.
He's offered nothing of value to me in re: my actual problems.
My original posts to this list met with either no response at all, or,
more recently, helpful responses from Frederic. Frankly, I was
surprised, after that, to get Scott's fanboy eruptions. I believe I
dealt with him appropriately, and with a level of grace appropriate
for handling such a poster.
