jesus christ, a little troll start whining and shouting then the poseidon author runs crying?... closing down all sites is overreacting, i will suggest he take a long vacation from the keyboard, and hopefully he will come back and not interfere with the trolls again.

A few words:

I know as much as everyone bout Platon42.

When the news broke onto the Pegasosforum.de IRC-channel, Geit decided
to do the same as a joke, which got even funnier when mk fell for it
on the forums.


Everybody else is probraly just a cheap copy-cat.

Thought about doing the same, but I somehow doubt anybody mwould have
noticed  :crazy:



Sorry for spoiling the joke, but even Kindergarten closes after 6
hours.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

This doesn't help me too much, but does give an idea what's going on.  Plus, mistranslations make the whole situation seem more poetic.

Read slowly aloud in your very best Shakespearian-esque accent, it's actually quite fun:

But soft from it I do not have ever more gesehen.Oder gibts there which?

I know there only the saying, who is good has envious person.

and tlsfmem is good

That may function with small children, but each adult point that nix andres breaks in in addition except insults, or words to rotate, to hairsplitting operate, even point that he has injustice.


:lol:

The 'news' on amiga.de is Chris responding publicly to his version of events with someone called 'PAB'.  Basically, this PAB character questioned whether TLSBMem patched the classic Amiga system routines, to which Chris answered yes and then PAB made the unfounded accusation the code would significantly slow down the system and Chris answered not really as the Amiga cpus are slow to begin with so you'd notice a slowdown if that were true, so then PAB launched a tertiary attack on the type of algorithms used and Chris retaliated with a demonstration of PAB's mistakes as to algorithms, code and such and said PAB has been studying for 10 years already and obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

A second (last?) post by Chris says he's fed up it's not worth it trying to educate people who don't understand, life's too short, etc. and farewell.

The thing that pisses me off is I have three now useless (in the non-supported sense) copies of Poseidon (two that came with Subways I recently purchased from Amigakit and a third full license I bought directly from Platon because I think he has a good product and want to show support).  It's looking like another Miami affair when Holger up and left after some idiots accused him of putting backdoors into his programs and started pirating his keyfiles.

Amiga-News makes censorship its favour


For those interested in drawing their own conclusions I explained that "censorship" at amigaworld.net yesterday.

Heads up, Poseidon knows the E3B hardware, you do not need a Keyfile for proper operation.

I can understand Chris's frustration, but this is just pathetic. It seems like this PAB guy is provoking him or making personal attacks. But why retaliate by cutting off the whole community from the benefit of his skill as a developer, and likewise cut himself off from the support of the community (through registrations)?

Yesterday at uni somebody I was trying to help to understand a particular concept offended me with a comment she made. Would it be reasonable to withdraw any future support or contact with all fellow students on the basis of rude behaviour from one individual who is not speaking for anybody but themselves? I don't think so.

This whole thing seems very childish.

I can understand why he is annoyed.
I have to go through the same thing most weeks in work.
If he wants any tips from me on how to handle these people, he  can always pm me.
Would be a shame to let the rantings of a few put the mockers on it for the rest of us.

Just write an email to Chris to show him your solidarity that there are still thankfully users outside, users that are worth to stay. I have done it.

I think he will receive some frustrating emails with words like childish and with complains, show him that the community not only consists of trolls...

@Argus:

No, this never happened.
I wrote, that in real live it seems not to have a dramatic impact.
