This whole LG thing... I used to be annoyed by his bickering, but it's the same with everyone else. I think that if we all agree to a truce, forgive and let bygones be bygones, then we can have an actual community rather than some Asian family that just yells at each other.
I don't want all the blame on LordGalbalan, since it took all of us together to make this grow into something seemingly uncontrollable. So this this my forgiveness along with my apology.

How appropriate that this is your 666th post. I'm not sure why it merited its own thread, though, given that there's an active message on this very issue in this very forum. Oh well.

I think that an honest, selfless appology to DevX would be a good start. I'm willing to make an effort if you can show you do mean this instead of "opposing the world" like you said yesterday. _________________ Endless Saga

I've already apologized to him. I do try to keep my personal affairs out of the lives of my non-associates, you know.
Anyway, he's holding a grudge that's probably going to drag him down into darkness. I won't be surprised, because he hasn't yet shown to me that he can think objectively enough to overcome his prejudices against "bottom feeders" as he calls them. He says that he's a Christian, and yet at 21 he has utter disdain for the people who Christ professed to love. Not only that, he thinks modern-day Christs are Satanists. ...I'm not going into the cosmic war between him and Gavin, because I don't think either side is in the right.
He and I got along so well because he's the ultimate capitalist. It's only a matter of time before he attains his dreams, I'm sure. We always talked about products and ways to create things that would make people's dreams spring to life. This is why we were so insistent on Worldyne: we want people to be able to make their ideas come true as soon as they have them, with no work. We try to make the development process itself fun, hence icons. People love them, and they love making them. They are one of the internet's dominant forces, because they act as symbols of ideas that have universal appeal. I still think they are the future of programming. Researchers are working on a system of searching based on images instead of words. Icons will fit right into that trend. The entire world can learn to program, so long as those that are not talented at it are not forced to deal with the details. Everyone can respond to images, because they are an integral component of human thought. (although of varying dominance from person to person) Some day, icons will even be integrated with the image searching technology to create a memory that a conscious AI can use to solve problems with.
I didn't expect Richard to get as angry as he did over that comment exposing his reluctance to critical thinking, especially since I offered a compliment alongside it. He always told me so long as I never stabbed him in the back we'd remain friends. Of course I'd never betray anyone, because that would mean I'm giving up my own will to another. Stupid.
Apparently Richard thinks that public criticism of his habits is betrayal. (?) Not surprising because genius doesn't like to see its weaknesses exposed, but still....

Bottom feeders are the scum of the earth. And although I do not agree that those who call themselves "Christians" nowadays have anything to do with Satanists (Satanists tend to actually be intelligent, but of course, not all of them), I understand where he's going with the point: most modern-day Christians have NO idea what it's like to be a real Christian, and that is to follow the example of Jesus...WHICH ALMOST NONE OF THEM DO. So he's dead-on about that one.
But anyways...I think DevX is well within his right to be upset. He's a visionary of his own kind; calling him the ultimate capitalist is a stretch (and makes you sound like an ass-kisser...watch out, your motives are showing) but yeah, he's got a capitalistic mindset for sure and that does a person good in this material age. But what you said about him was not only wrong, it was terribly insulting, so if he doesn't forgive you in the next ten years, I wouldn't be shocked. Only a great fool turns the other cheek to those who have struck them.
As for me...I'm not buying any of this. Anyone can brush off the past and still act the same way as they did before. So you're going to have to try a lot harder to fool me...and that goes not just for LG but also for everyone here who's decided to go apeshit over this mess and now wants a "peaceful resolution". I came into this situation as a neutral party and remained there until the shit hit the fan. I can be neutral again but don't think that the past is ever forgotten... _________________ If you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices.

Hrm. Didn't really think so anyways. Although it DID seem reasonable that after all that's happened there'd be SOME kind of change. Well hey, I never claimed my judgement was flawless. :) _________________ Endless Saga

People are impossible to change. All you can do is provide them information and hope for the best.

Well were you expecting? People to keep trying to show you just what's wrong fully knowing you have no intention of changing? Frankly, I can't begin to count how often people actually tried and ended up being met with a post that basically sums up as "Hah, I don't care, I'm better than all of you." There's a limit to how long people will keep caring about something and trying to make things better. Hence why a thread about banning you crept up overnight.
You yourself posted, not a day ago, that you were deliberately doing this. Given your past behavior, I think it's far easier to believe that "I'm gonna keep being a jerk and there's nothing you can do about it" post than your "Ok, let's stop and fix things up" post just now. No offense. _________________ Endless Saga

heh I pop back in here for a quick look around, and what do I find? more bullshit flying around. Yeesh.
Oh, let the records show that Anthony Caudill has indeed apologized to me.
However, I have chosen to remain neutral from here on out.
Neither friend, nor foe.
I shall not collaborate with him on any projects, nor will I discuss anything private/personal with him.
There is nothing that anyone can say at this point to change my mind in this matter. Period. _________________ Principal Software Architect

I believe you're just as bad as you think I am. Let's just leave it at that.
