   Or a total loser with nothing better to do than flame the hard work
of others without bothering once to read all the facts as to why
they're attacking things for every wrong reason. As it's an OS bug,
there is nothing for any programmers to admit other than they
triggered an rare OS bug caused by others. And as I've posted
precisely where it's wrong in the OS src code, I'd expect a rational,
thinking programmer to disagree with my analysis for factual reasons,
but I'm sure not dealing with one of those here.

   There has not been a single truthful word out of 'rubywand' in this
whole discussion except for 'Wolfenstein 3D GS 1.0', a victim of an OS
bug. Why would anyone want to let such an idiot claim to be factual in
any other respect? Why would anyone trust his words? Why should people
tolerate the presence of a pirate and irresponsible flamer in their
midst if they ever want more programs developed for them? 

   Make no mistake, this is a deliberate attempt by a pirate to try
and drive away programmers who *do* call him a pirate. Such scum can't
deal with the truth, so they'll try and silence opposition-- those who
can *create*, not criticize and steal. If you want more stuff for the
GS developed, urge that this idiot's blatantly promoting piracy
materials online be removed, and make sure that all of his blatant
lies and piracy promotion are corrected online. There is no excuse for
tolerating thieves and liars in your midst, especially when they never
repent and stop their actions.
