response: fair enough, but may I suggest that being helpful is a good quality.
I always try to be helpful, but to what avail?
No, I don't call that harassment. What I call harassment, is where someone's position is worn down via repetition, rather than through intellectual discourse.
Everyone seem to have a hard time understanding when I say something.
By that definition you are not just the harasser, but also being harassed. Which is true enough. I suppose by the same line of thinking, in which you are not here to help, many people are not here to help you or accept your answers.
I don't care if someone accepts my answer or not. I have given the answers I wanted to give, and that is it. People seem to think I owe them something. I don't.
But, I suggest harassment on both sides is not especially helpful and therefore not recommended, but nevertheless it seems to be the only choice left, when one side has stated repeatedly that they will not engage in any other type of discussion.
I am always open for discussion, but for discussion only. Not for the usual "you are liars" and the usual "you are to blame" and the usual "you lack the talent".
I am not ready to listen to another round of "you have broken your promises" either. I'Ve elaborated on that earlier, and, as I said, I am tired to repeat myself.
.I personally don't expect you to announce your failure to complete the project on a week by week basis. Such an exercise in humiliation would not really serve any purpose. I do think people should buy into other choices, considering the failure...not excuse it, but not go around expecting unreasonable solutions.
If you want it, here it is: Yes, we failed to deliver until now. Very specifically, I said "until now". We have utterly failed if and only if the project is canned. It isn't, and there is no intention to do so.
Like I saiid a number of times, there are limits as to what a man can do. We are doing our best, under the worst possible circumstances, to finish the project. We only ever issue deadlines because we are continously harassed by people to give them. Each and every time unforseeable things happened, and things got delayed.
No, we have not failed yet.
I seem to be in the minority on this, but Amiga, Inc. owns the IP, they have the responsibility to complete this....if they are doing it through a contractor, or through osmosis, I don't care....they coulda/woulda/shoulda didn't.
It is always easy to say "they must" or "they have to". From a user's point of view it might be hard to understand this, but just look at this day. I spent more time fighting off harassment (and yes, maybe dealing it out) than productive work.
If you think this is easy, you're mistaken. If you think it isn't, why is it so hard to understand?
