I sent him a private email on it some time ago.

It is/was a private matter between Steve and I - and does not concern you, Al, or anyone else.

As for the current stuff - I simply posted a response to various arguments he put forth. In those posts -I did not attack him personally. So with that said - I am not still at it. Rather, Steve, on behalf of his minion Al - is still at it.

Whether you, Al, Steve, and the whomever else - "gets it" or not - I really don't care. The bottom line, a series of arguments were put forth that could only be defended through censorship. Whether the censorship was personal or not - I don't care. I am one of the people who is not intimidated by Steve's vocabulary or passing/anecdotal knowledge of business, marketing, economics, psychology, sociology, or any other ology for that matter. To this day, he still puts forth the argument that Fox is in no worse position than anything else, that it is a niche, and that everything is just fine. He puts forth this argument without a single piece of observable fact. I asked him some time ago to offer a single upward trend in the Fox Market. He could not do it. Further, when people say something positive about .NET - he goes on his whole "intellectual dishonesty" tirade and saying how people cannot deliver value to clients in something "unproven" as .NET. He loves the word "junk science" and "soggy thinking". To spout out stuff like that without a single piece of evidence to validate that opinion as even being remotely reasonable is junk science and is the very essense of soggy thinking. And for sure, I am not alone in my view points.

Steve is a big boy - he can defend himself - even here.... But you know what - I have more important things to do than to get caught up in some cat-fight with him over something as stupid as the wiki. It is an intellectually dishonest/fraudlent endeavor - and that is all I have to say about it. He dishes is out - so he has to take it....
