No you can't.
In recent months, many long time participants of csa2 have gotten fed up
with the constant bickering and have simply left. Likewise with Apple II
developers; there used to be a lot of them participating in csa2, and
they too have disappeared.
If you throw your support to pirates, then you are harming legitimate
Apple II developers. If you side with liars and those who deceive and
misrepresent, then you are not supporting those who legitimately want to
support you.
At KansasFest, I learned that I am the last Apple II developer/publisher
who works full time with the Apple II. And, I gotta tell you, I am getting
thoroughly disgusted with csa2. And, it's not asimov that's the cause of
my concern.
What concerns me is the egotistical "enemy of the Apple II" who argues
with developers and makes outlandish claims that have absolutely no basis
in reality. And, I'm sure you all know exactly who I mean. The same guy
who accused me not a week ago of being Stroker Ace, and never even had the
courtesy of apologizing after making his absurd, childish and delusional
claims. I don't need that. And, neither does the Apple II community.
If there were a way for "physician, heal thyself" to come to pass, that
would be one thing, but since the physician is himself in dire need of
psychiatric help, csa2 is being held hostage.
I don't have time for this; I have an Apple II company to run. So, it
really is up to _you_ to deal with the problem.
