Jack, >> Reg. Your message to Martin Foster about UNIX, couldn't agree more! << If you saw my response to Greg, I agreed with him too. I can always count on Greg to put me straight on UNIX, but it's not an option (unless you include the SGI command line 3ds renderer). However, it seems to me that you take a lot of pleasure from just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing without any real conviction behind your views. This may seem like a lot of fun, but the whole point of this forum is support and you may find yourself lacking support when you really need it, if you continue picking fights with or just irritating people for a laugh.

It seems to me, that the only opinions allowed are the one that are agreeable to the "mainstream". I'm sorry that you think I'm doing this for fun, once you dig into the realities of MS windows and its clones, you'll realize, that I'm not kidding here…

Jack, >> It seems to me, that the only opinions allowed are the one that are agreeable to the "mainstream". << not at all true. If it were true, you would have been barred from the forum. However, there's a way of doing this without antagonizing people which you seem particularly skilled at. Although, at other times you make some important points.

Hey Martin, Haven't our loooooong experience in the forum teached us some good lessons about this kind of guerrilla wars that came time to time to Asoft? 🙂 Oh boy, I remember a very very very old discussion with Paul about the excellences of Warner Bros. cartoons. That wasn't guerrilla war, though, but it got really hard. hhhm, now that I think about it, that was total thermonuclear war indeed. I enjoyed it though (maybe you remember it Paul? 🙂 Now, and after a lot of not so well thought replies and rude people at the other side of the line, I have lost my energy for that kind of replies in favor of a more "live and left die"-like spirit. Are you reading this Paul, why don't take this over Take 5 and start a discussion with real arguments, some cannons and a few bacteriological weapons? You pick the topic <bg> ana /krazy images

ana, I do remember our "heated" discussion. I've sinced changed my ways. 🙂 The forum has changed considerably since that time. I much prefer e-mail discussions and debates now. One need only review some of the recent threads in Asoft to realize that there's way too much mean spiritedness floating around. It's too hard for me to paint pretty pictures when my karma's out of whack. 🙂 You're one of my favorites ….. if you have a good topic for "discussion" e-mail me. That way we can keep it in the context of an agressive exchange over an expresso or glass of wine, as opposed to getting bloody in a senseless riot. Paul

To be honest, I don't have any topic interesting enough to talk about right now. I don't feel like public places are the correct ones anymore, either 🙂 Funny thing, how things change in only a couple of years. Maybe we can move to AOL and start all over again (NO!) <g>

Ana, >> Haven't our loooooong experience in the forum teached us some good lessons about this kind of guerrilla wars that came time to time to Asoft? << sometimes, it's unavoidable to get in a fight. The only sure way to avoid one is to say nothing at all and I'm not going to do that. Sometimes "lively" discussions make this place more fun.

yeah, but one thing is a lively discussion and the other is just getting into non sense arguments for just the pleasure of it (specially for the pleasure of specific individuals that seem to like watch the place in flames). I like to discuss (in the most classical bizantine sense), and you know that, but I think that other topics are best suitable for that than how bad NT is going to be for the future of 3DS. ana /krazy images

Ana, >> I like to discuss (in the most classical bizantine sense), and you know that, but I think that other topics are best suitable for that than how bad NT is going to be for the future of 3DS << yes, I agree with you on that point entirely. That's why I cautioned Jack Death that if he went _too_ far, everybody would eventually just ignore him. And how long can you just talk to yourself? <g>.

"yes, I agree with you on that point entirely. That's why I cautioned Jack Death that if he went _too_ far, everybody would eventually just ignore him. And how long can you just talk to yourself? <g>. " Love it, keep on talking… <g>

">> It seems to me, that the only opinions allowed are the one that are agreeable to the "mainstream". << not at all true. If it were true, you would have been barred from the forum" Hmmm, now you get me confused, are you mainstream, or don't you just not tolerate others' opinions? <G> " However, there's a way of doing this without antagonizing people which you seem particularly skilled at" I just wonder why "little sny comments" like that bring out the best in me.. <VMBG> "Although, at other times you make some important points. " Of course, once you realize that I'm not here to antagonize, unless you start it. ( I'd never refuse a good argument, that's half the fun of this forum. People come in with good solutions, good ideas, good criticsim, good… etc. Just keep in mind, I DO LOVE MY 3DS, and wouldn't trade it for anything (unless I could afford everything), I just don't like attacks, instead of argument)) (Damn, you do that, and you get me cooking…<g>) See, I'm one of these "stupid idiots" that needs to be convinved, not "belittled" I'm sure that the NT aproach is better than the DOS aproach, if and ONLY if, NT proves to be what MS claims it to be. (but then, we all know what they claim and the diff. to reality) I think everybody here is overreacting to what I say, I DO have REAL gripes about the subject, but nobody seems to be able to tell me different, instead they come up wiht the "if you don't like it, get lost aproach, now, that gets me "ticking". <g> Jack PS: Though we do have our "differences", I think we agree on more than we both know…
