No, I don't have any problems with people that give MS honest criticism. I give them fuel, having worked for a MS partner I know crap about MS you can only dream, you I attack because you're insulting and obnoxious.

I'm not running with Jeeves' water, I'm running with my water. I'm sick of your crap and I'm sick of my self enforced exile from tech threads because of you. I'm back and I'm gonna point out every falsehood, every blanket insult, every rude insinuation until you either get off FR or clean up your act. If I see it I'm giving it a big red flag and if you don't like it you can actually start to do what you say you want to do: participate in reasonable discussion and fair exchange of information. If you're a good kid I'll even give you some behind the scenes dirt that you can really crucify MS with.

B2K called it in the air: "damning with faint praise".

That's almost exactly what I've said about Java, before the 1.2 release.

None of the Java folks felt that was 'damning with faint praise'.

That's a perfect example of MS-only folks not caring *what* is said, but who says it.

It's a brand new release. And the MS-only folks consider it 'damning' to say that a new release should be tested heavily before mission-critical use.

That's pathetic.

A new release needs the bugs worked out. You said as much yourself. But when *I* say it, it's an insult.

Because with you, it's who says it, not what is said.

When you have a problem with the whole world, maybe you're the problem.

Seriously, what is your relationship to Mr. Jeeves?

A friend of yours? An alternate screen name? You've answered posts directed at him on a number of occasions, and you're carrying a *big* bucket of his water here.

By all means, join B2k in making a project out of following me around. It makes me seem far more important than I really am.

I mean, if two MS-only folks have decided to waste their time just to attack me simply for being a Java developer, I *MUST* be making an impact!
