about John Corlis's vote post

If you consider freeware to include the following:

shareware
nagware
trialware
demoware
warez
adware
spyware

then you are entirely missing that point. And if people like you take
over this group, then you might as well change the name of it to
alt.comp.anykindofsoftware and welcome in discussions of commercial
software as well.

Over and out (yep, you guessed right.)

A little bit right, but so do I know you.

Good said.



And. NAZI means Nationalsozialist - that means they are social to
themself in their own country but they need coffee, cacao, Oil,
Car-driving (very imnportant for a nazi - gasin') etc. etc... So, being
a real NAZI is not possible, it's juzst an other form of communismus.

[Daniel Mandic]

in weeks about the subject. More bandwidth has been used up on
debating the topic than by those who post the innocent comments.

Ironic or what?

<grin>

My CPU and the Telekom bandwith makes it easy.


Just write John!!!

I can't believe how foolish you are!!!!
A nazi is a particuly nasty peice of work who makes the life of others a
misery with disgraceful far right attitude to life, a net cop is an old
woman (you).

Who the HELL are you to tell ME what I *MUST* do or not do? I will
continue to use the same signature file whether or not you like it.

LOL, you make me giggle...

Deal with it.

I am, I'm laughing at you...

Oh, how mature...

But true..

Even moreso.

Your struggling for reasoned response...

Continuing along that line.
Ditto..

When I feel that I no longer wish to participate in a discussion because
it's getting nowhere, I will always inform the other party that I'm no
longer going to continue with it. The only reason you don't like it when I
do so, is because you're the kind of person who erroneously believes that
having the last word means that you "win".

How little you know. Theres no winners, just losers with no answer.

As for my signature file, Andy Mabbett *IS* a troll and if you don't
believe me, go back and read his posts or ask any of the regulars here. So
is Doc and even worse, he uses sock puppets. This, in my opinion, is the
worst kind of troll. Both of these guys are newsgroup "stalkers" too
(IMO). If you don't believe me, try pissing off either of them.

But who are you to decide and publisise this? Pissing people off is
something you seem to do easily!
Believe me, you **REALLY** must change that stupid signature. It makes you
look pretty stupid. And that advise was freeware!

The whole problem that you and others are stirring up in this group is
based on the definition of freeware. *I* consider freeware to be software
that's written to be free of any kind of price, monetary or otherwise.

Depends if you are helpful or not. This *is* a freeware site and should be
freeware orientated, I have never said anything different. You said I have,
But I haven't. But freeware, like anything in life, has it's shortfalls. If
you are discussing freeware then this also needs to addressed.

IMO, that definition MUST be protected if we (and I mean EVERYBODY) is
going to be able to continue to download a program with a reasonable
assurance that after they install it, they're not going to get an
unpleasant surprise.

If *you* consider freeware to include the following:

shareware
nagware
trialware
demoware
warez
adware
spyware

then you are entirely missing that point. And if people like you take over
this group, then you might as well change the name of it to
alt.comp.anykindofsoftware and welcome in discussions of commercial
software as well.

Now you are scrapping the bottom of the barrell with silly comments!!

Over and out (yep, you guessed right.)

LOL, what a child....

Disclaimer: I pulled my answer out to a new thread because of the request of
the original poster of the Vote post.

My answer to the stupid vote post:

Stupid? Non-binding, maybe, but an honest opinion about trends is
never stupid. I also frequent a folk music discussion, and you should
see how hard it is to explain to people that rock & roll and
'singer-songwriter stuff is NOT 'folk'.
It will always be the case that someone wants to expand a
definition to cover THEIR notion of how they'd like it to read.
All one can do is try now & then to remind everyone that if a
definition on ANYTHING gets too broad, it becomes useless.

I find this type of childlike action very disturbing... of troll and NetCop
calibre....trying to create a climate of hate...

That's a pretty extreme jump from a simple attempt to call attention
to slippery definitions.

I suspect that he is a nice guy, but everyone can get overly enthusiastic
sometimes.

John is ay least willing to take the trouble to promote and explain
why he doesn't like to see lots of exceptions made....and he DOES
regularly help with programs and ideas. His enthusiasm is appreciated
then.

No,no,. no. no., no

A nazi is a behind Homo-Sapiens (possibly 1000 y). He or she is talking
so much about Rights, bez they know about the two sides (left/right).

In fact, they always agiate both-sided, as any human of course. Their
Rights are just a farce (blending).



You are pretty right with: who makes the life of

others a misery with disgraceful far right attitude

But more often than not from left (e.g. breaking the law to do
wrong, w/o being punished)

Stupid? Non-binding, maybe, but an honest opinion about trends is
never stupid.

Plus there seems to be a disturbing tendency to go ad hominem, which is
not an efficient way of clarifying the truth of any matter at all.

I also frequent a folk music discussion, and you should
see how hard it is to explain to people that rock & roll and
'singer-songwriter stuff is NOT 'folk'.

Heh. Just when I thought it was safe to stand up, someone who agrees
with Cecil Sharp House posts!

It will always be the case that someone wants to expand a
definition to cover THEIR notion of how they'd like it to read.
All one can do is try now & then to remind everyone that if a
definition on ANYTHING gets too broad, it becomes useless.

Plus people can find themselves wasting time. I have this group on
'browse', which means that I only DL headers. This is not for economic
reasons. By way of illustration, it's just that I mostly don't want to
plough through stuff and get involved, which I now regret doing in a
minor way.

And after that 1000 years they would have been hunted by new Nazis

Very true

All one can do is try now & then to remind everyone that if a
definition on ANYTHING gets too broad, it becomes useless.

That's my concern, at least.

John is ay least willing to take the trouble to promote and explain
why he doesn't like to see lots of exceptions made....and he DOES
regularly help with programs and ideas. His enthusiasm is appreciated
then.

This is my experience of John's participation as well. For those
disparaging his character...You're shooting the messenger. Of more
concern is the message.

Calling a person a NetCop is (IMO) akin to calling them a Nazi, and:

http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/g/GodwinsLaw.html

---
Godwin's Law /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the
probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread
is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever
argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the
existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.
