>I think the main complaint IMHO is that here is a letter with the Microspft Solutions Partner logo bashing a Microsoft tool; it's not an issue of "whiners and complainers". I think the company did a good targeted marketing, albeit by overstating potential problems. But then again, that's general marketing tactics in all businesses so...

Where is the bashing? FWIW, I have seen far more bashing from employees in Redmond..


>Who's reality?

Had you snipped the entire context, it would have been clear..

>John, ask yourself why VFP developers would not get upset in a situation like this. It's an emotional issue, and you can't address it logically. When you do, the result is to piss off more people.

It is not an emotional issue. That is the problem...

You seem to have an almost total contempt for the general VFP community, and I think that's grossly unfair. Good VFP developers can put the total solution together just as well as good developers in other languages. I'm starting to think we'd all be a lot happier if you would "ween" yourself from VFP and leave the rest of us the hell alone.

No I don't. I have a problem with the whiners and the complainers who think the world is continually out to torpedo the tool and them. Whether I am here or not isn't going to make a difference. But for sure, I can curtail my activities here. No problem.

I don't know why you've been on the kick you have been lately, but IMHO you are a negative and destructive influence on a fragile, emotional community. You're not Moses; nobody is asking you to lead them to redemption. Do your law school thing, and all power to you with that. Meanwhile, shut the hell up. If you want to opt out of this community, do so. But leave the rest of us alone.

Ok...
