Second, all the comitters have answered your questions very nicely
Yes, we have.
I don't know whether you actually believe this in your own mind.
However, there is a complete electronic archive of this forum and I
don't think that examining it would support this view.
Here is what I think someone would find by examining the archive.
Whenever certain pointed questions are posed, one of two things happens:
(1) The person being posed the question simply walks away from the
discussion. This has happened at least a couple of times in
conversations where I have asked you to clarify points you have made,
Ted. This is also the approach Niall Pemberton has used a couple of
times. You write something, and then when somebody brings up
counter-arguments are asks you to clarify one or more of your points,
you just walk away from the discussion.
The other thing that frequently happens is this:
(2) The other person (or sometimes a proxy) resorts to illegitimate
ad-hominem discourse to dodge the perfectly legitimate question being
posed. This is the approach used at different times by James Mitchell,
Steve Raeburn, and Craig McClanahan.
I see things a little different:
1) Someone says they'd like to use Struts
2) Jack or Jon lambast struts and re-pose their standard question with
their standard opinion and lable it all as fact rather than opinion.
3) The developers ignore them for a while because we've been round this
roundabout a million times before
4) Jack or Jon insult the developers for not answering their questions
repeatedly
5) The developers eventually get fed up with the crap on the list an DO
answer the question
6) Jack and Jon insist the developers are wrong, say they still haven't
answered the question and the cycle continues
The ultimate irony is that the developers also get lambasted for being
too slow yet are expected to waste hours of their time trawling through
mindless drivel that is constantly repeated over and over again by
people WHO DON'T CONTRIBUTE. I don't see Jon & Jack answering users
questions yet I do see them constantly and continuously attacking struts
and attacking the struts team. You've made your point lads, we're sick
of hearing it. If you are going to keep complaining that struts sucks DO
SOMETHING TO HELP or just leave us all alone. My mail client has started
to label your posts to this list as spam which says something. Even
crude AI can see that you are not contributing anything useful.
Finally, Ted & co, thanks for your long posts in reply to these trolls,
I, as a struts user, appreciate them and am happy with them. Keep up the
good work and don't let the two grumpy old men get you down.
I am also aware that this post is not really that useful so this will be
my only contribution to this 'discussion'.
Bart.
