Oh, forgot - according to the lot here personal messages arenāt private and can be published because ā¦? An admin can read them anyway (but shouldnāt)? Because you donāt like the sender? Because you donāt like the senderās tone?
So itās ok to simply trample on his rights?
Ah, forgot - he has no rights. āItās Normanās forum and he can do what he wantsā.
Hmmm ā¦
But INN is allegedly so very different from TOF ā¦ has Geoff ever made personal communication private?
If Norman had said: āMy apologies. I made a mistake and have removed the screenshots - please disregard what was said thereā then I would have said he did the right thing and manād up to his responsibility - and that deserves respect, especially if heād apologised to XojoPro for it.
But that lynch mob mentality on display here is unbelievable.
We are far away from a Lynch mob. And again: if you would not ask and say there is no difference that would not be happened. I was asking Norman to delete the screenshots cause of privacy and thatās it. I canāt see a lynchmob.
haha yeah should I go? Okay that was a declaratory question. I guess they donāt want to see me there but 50% is much. For active Xojo Programmers it can be good to know the people around and behind.
Gee. After Markus ranting off in my āhelloā thread, I finally found this one where it all started.
My impression: XojoPro was in a bad mood and then felt attacked (not realizing he did the same in a way) and then exploded. Can happen to anyone, depending on what triggers you. Giving him a time-out without banning him is a fair response, IMO. Especially, to keep the forum civil.
No one should dismiss other people like that, even if one thinks theyāre making pointless comments. If you think like that, write them a private message, instead of exposing them publically as an idiot. Thatās bad etiquette and getting chastised for that is common practise in most forums and not censoring.
Markus assessment of the situation is similar. I think he overreacted and then started feeling attacked and keeping to justify himself. That only keeps on escalating, which isnāt doing anyone a service. And I would like to ask both Thorsten and Markus not to keep discussing this in unrelated threads, too. One playground is enough.
I did go to Nashville, and it was a genuine pleasure to meet the team (and maybe a few of those reading here.) As Iāve told Sam in our own conversation, Iāve used RB/RS/Xojo since Day One, and it was the first time Iād personally met another human who did.
I think itās been about 24 for me. I can remember exactly where I was when I read a review of REALBasic 1.0, but I donāt recall what year it was.
Was still in school and trying to learn CodeWarrior to make Mac apps and not enjoying the experience. The school had Windows machines and VB, which I thought was way better than CW. I had even written to Microsoft asking for them to bring VB to the Mac.
Imagine if Iād not seen the review for REALBasic and instead actually got to grips with CW, then Xcode. Iād only be angry at Apple for being myopic, not Apple and Xojo
I went on the Xojo Web site to check my ordersā¦ I bought my first license April 22, 2001 so next April will be 22 yearsā¦ It really does not seem tha long ago!
