The person who posted that message is neither new to the Delphi-A2 forum,
nor a selective reader. In fact, she has a far better grasp on the truth of
the situation than you do.

Nor is it common, as you assert, for forum managers to permit attacks upon
users ... blah, blah, blah ... This is just more of your anti-Delphi-A2
propaganda. You know it. I know it. And most people know it. And most people
who take an objective view of the situation will also know it.

Whew .... Well, all I can do is urge those who may be seeing this
anti-Delphi-A2 attack spewed for the first time to go find out for yourself.
If you find RubyDude's perspective of Delphi to be correct, then you can
exercise your best judgment and avoid like the plague the hell hole that
Rudy describes Delphi-A2 to be. However, I suspect most people will be
pleasantly surprised that the place he describes does not exist, except in
his own mind.

If you do find out that Delphi-A2 is not as Ruby describes, don't post about
it here, unless you want him and his cohorts to come at you hard and heavy.
He doesn't like to be challenged, as all know.

Have you ever considered the possibility that the strained relationship
between Beverly and SOME (not all) of the Delphi-A2 managers was caused and
proliferated by behavior on BOTH their parts? Didn't think so ... that
wouldn't fit well into your anti-Delphi-A2 agenda.

They are already a credit to the Apple II community. In fact, the A2 forums
on Delphi are, IMO, the absolute center of the Apple II online community.

They already have considerable user support and participation from folks who
frequent csa2.
