Re: No sense of humor?

Hiya Bob.... Say.. you must be one of those folks that likes 
the last word.  :)


 *>Calling people names requarding their sexual preference is

 *>done about piracy.  Saying they are brainless, etc, drug 
addicts, all that
 *>crap.  That helps the piracy situation!  Keep up your 
wonderful campaign.

So go weep about it.  And thanks for your permission.  ;)

 *>We know about his actions, he posts his announcements to 
this newsgroup.  Do

criminal?  Everybody

No.  Do you realize how silly that question sounds?

 *>already knows.  If you are so strongly against piracy, 
please contact a
 *>copyright lawyer, the owners of every illegaly uploaded 
software, and the
 *>police.  They are the people who handle these things.

I hate lawyers almost more that Turdley.  And I prefer not to 
do what you demand.  There.  Chew on that.  ;)

 *>Call the police.  Contact the District attorney in your 
area and file a

is illegally
 *>available and have them prosecute.  Effective?  More so 
than throwing mud.

Perhaps that is more effective.  But it costs money, I'd have 
to be an injured party, and no guarantee of justice.  

You may no like my methods.  Tough.

 *>No it does not.  It just goes to show that your "efforts" 
(term used very

Futility has never bothered me.  ;)

Heh...

 *>I remember the good ol' days.  They are gone and the GS 
wasn't upgraded to
 *>modern standards, so we're stuck with hobbyist programmers 
coding things for
 *>our computers.  Did piracy hurt the GS?  Yes.  In my 
opinion the software
 *>market would be just as dead as it is now even if piracy 
didn't hurt the
 *>Apple II long ago.

So... Why are you so fond of pirates now?  And why do you 
defend them from a proper scolding?  :)

 *>No, I wasn't given the right to distribute it to others.  
That is why I keep

even hinted at what
 *>the software is.  I signed an NDA, non disclosure 
agreement.  I would have
 *>followed the authors wishes even if not for the NDA.  I 
wouldn't want to
 *>hurt development on anything or go back on my word.  I 
could upload the
 *>software now that the developer threw his GS away and 
doesn't plan to
 *>support or release the software, and the author wouldn't 
care.  I could even
 *>get him to reclassify the stuff if I wanted to.  I like 
having software that
 *>others don't.

That's nice.  Turley likes having software he didn't pay for.  
The Turlettes like having software they didn't pay for.  I 
don't like that and I say something about it, and you get 
upset.  Odd world.

 *>You don't care about other readers who read your posts?  
Maybe Turley hurts
 *>every apple II user (thats what others have said)...You 
hurt every II user
 *>on this newsgroup.  Two wrongs make nothing.

Well, a few folks here have mentioned that they like my 
posts.  And the sensitive sort have been warned and can 
filter me.

Uh... "beloved Delphi"?   If you insist.  The Turlettes 
believe so.

And if you want to become the QC of Delphi, nothing _I_ or 
anyone else can stop you.  Although you'll want to hide your 
IP so that you don't lose your account.  
 *>Let me know what your buddies think of it.  Watch for the

So he loses HIS account and doesn't like you anymore.

And I might ask why YOU'RE so upset about the matter here 
that you'd be willing to start escalating the battle?  I can 
hear the blood vessels popping from here.  :)

 *>So scare newsgroup readers away so that when new software

Non Sequitor, Bob.  You've yet to demonstrate what you claim 
is happening.

 *>> OK.  I'm open to ideas on how to rid csa2 of Turlettes, 
Bob.
 *>> Such as...?

 *>Ok, I've outlined a few ideas above.  Why not start a 
thread about it?

Because I don't start threads, Bob.  :)

 *>>
 *>>  *> You need to change your closing statement in your

 *>So you make a statement that is completely false (aka lie) 
just because it
 *>rhymes and you think it is original?  I notice 
similarities between they way
 *>you describe Mr Turley and the way you actually are.

Hey, Bob.. I've been labelled a Vogon.  I'm for a Turlette 
Free Apple II Community... Where's the lie?  You're pulling 
that same old Turlette "build a straw man and knock it down" 
strategy.  It won't work, and it makes you look like a liar 
as well.

And I've noticed you aren't very observant.  :)

Nope.  Guess I'm just a dim Kitty!  :)

 *>Is this the Nathan Mates I've read so much about?  Come

 *>It seems that Nathan Mates would include at least SOME

Nah... Nathan wouldn't be so naughty.  And I'll agree, he put 
much more effort into contributing to the Apple II Community 
than the good Dorktor ever has.  Too bad the Turlettes drove 
him away.  Hey.  Using the same tactics I am.  Or have you 
forgotten.

 *>Have I annoyed the cat by posting a reply?

You seem to have forgotten that this is a public forum, Bob.  
It doesn't MATTER if I get annoyed.  :)  By all means, 
continue the dialog!
