Thatâs why parts of the documentation are written these days in penguin.

in germany we sell those stuff to ppl very far far away hoping never see them again 
as linux user Iâd say no⌠nobody wants an closed-source IDE and language, which is by the way not memory and thread safe
Sorry but I would not even sell it to people far away while the world became smaller since Alexander Graham Bell invented there is a big amount of inventionsâŚzoom and co are making the world so small that even people from the other side of the world can be from one to the other moment in your living roomâŚit would provide too much stresses for me to do that.
Is Xojo still cross-platform?
Soooooooo good it had to be locked to seal in that goodness.
or
Funny they had to preempt the Preemptive Threading thread.

âŚor preemptive policingâŚ.
I fully agree with you all (maybe you are surprised, Hal!), but this kind of moderation frustrates me. To me, it is abusing power as a moderator. Just to let everybody know who the boss is. I like this forum much better; at least discussions are respected.
Xojo is still on my list for my bookkeeping application, but behaviour like Kern Tekinay, as MVP showed, is not helping my decision-making.

Exactly.
Iâm not easily upset, but this behavior is just irrespecutful.
Same here. In contrast to others, I even think moderation is necessary. But it should be fair and transparent. In many countries it is even required by law. Moderation will never be perfect but a âheads upâ here and there that discussions are derailing doesnât hurt IMHO.
But banning people is not moderation and simply closing topics at the whim of someone is also not moderation. This âI think everything has been discussedâ just seems weird. I believe âdisrespectfulâ hits the nail on the head indeed.

100% agreed.
The problem is that just our agreement wonât move Kern out of the MVP group or make him change his mind.
Once you see how disingenuous Geoff Perlman and Dana Brown are youâll see more and more.
Suppressing folks from speaking up, archiving bugs, pretending to be cross platform, not getting community feedback on renaming stuff/threadingâŚ
Itâs a hot mess and they donât want to hear about how their decisions resulted in a hot mess.
Instead, they dig deeper.
Geoff has been criticized, true. But not Dana, right? 
Pot. Meet Kettle ?

I donât expect bans here but somehow I feel that this guy needs a cool down time again. Itâll come soon that he restarts attacking people even more directly

Iâm on a (non-tech) forum thatâs pretty Wild West in moderation approach and even they use the ban hammer now and again. Profanity and ridicule are permitted but start being dishonest or gratuitously cruel and youâre out. I donât think a public forum exists that doesnât have a red line somewhere. Just because we donât shut down a thread for gasp discussing multi threading, doesnât mean we have to suffer actual asshats.

Yeah and he can use his own support forum. Runs like hell, has one memberâŚshould give enough hints to think about his own behaviorâŚwhat ever
Broadly applied IGNORE works about as well as banning, silencing, etc since whatever they post just garners NO responses
