But why is it I can say in my posts that MS has shipped some products that clearly sucked and none of your hated MS salesmen even say boo about it? Because you're an established MS-only person, you're "on the reservation".
It isn't what is said, obviously (just like my comment wasn't insulting, but *I* insult you by my daring to speak), it's who says it, with MS-only folks. Just like B2k follow me to threads about things like music and continues to insult and flame me. It isn't what I've said about music, it's that I'm "off the reservation", a 'Java' guy that threatens his 'MS-only' world.
Look above -- I've complimented .NET a few dozen times here. Didn't matter to you, or any of the rest of the MS-only folks. This entire thread was to be an up-beat, positive discussion about .NET. But I posted it, so in come the flames.
Try that with a different screen name they don't know, and watch what happens. Heck, B2k obviously has a full-time job combing the boards for any negative re
No. Because I don't insult the user. Just that simple.
You've never complimented .Net. I called you on this before. The best you can muster is half assed praise followed by withering criticism of all who would use it until it's at least 2 years old (with no explanation as to why MS would solve the bugs in something nobody is using).
when I took philosophical logic the teacher taught me something very handy. He said whenever you hear someone say "but" you can completely ignore what came before it. What people do when they're pretending to be nice is they throw hardly meant praise out in front then say "but..." and tell you what they really think. Later in managerial communications they pretty much taught us the same thing, told us all about conditional praise (praise mixed with criticism) and they drove home that when giving that we should never use the word "but" because people have learned what that really means.
Every time you've said anything good about .Net the next word in your post was "but".
