> anger and hostility

What do you expect when you keep posting your religious sermons ?


>There has been much anger and hostility amongst the various members of online forum communities toward me personally, and toward my Visual FreePro (Village Freedom) project.
>
>In the 16 months I've devoted my life to this project, I have not found support within any part of the English speaking VFP community, save a handful of supportive comments, but on the whole only a continual trouncing upon me personally. I've heard no end of comments against everything I strive for in life by people with nothing but negative things to say about me, my faith, my system design, my abilities, my reasoning for supporting copyleft protected FLOSS, and even for supporting (or not supporting) various features in my design, and so much more.
>
>It has been a daily source of pain, frustration, a constant uphill battle, and I have endured all of it because I can see the end, and I believe very much in what I'm doing, and most importantly because I desire from deep within my heart to give all of these features to all of you to make your developer lives better, the products for your users better, the community that we belong to as developers better, and so much more.
>
>I will continue to develop Visual FreePro, but I will no longer be posting on online forums (save the LibSF/Visual FreePro website), except for where I am explicitly asked to do so by an email request.
>
>-----
>I wish everyone the best. I pray you find the software products which make you happy and productive. And I pray you find everything in life you are seeking.
>
>If anyone would like to contact me in email, please do so. Godspeed.
