"The fox is my living and not only mine. Thinking of that he should have chosen his words with more care."
>>And, fwiw, I dont think that Whil has anywhere near the "power" over the usage of VFP you seem to think he has. Do you think that because of Whil's post and his change of direction in book publishing that tens of thousands of VFP developers around the world are going to stop using VFP? I would continue to use VFP even if big Bill himself said he doesnt want it anymore. > >IMO, Whil does have power indeed. He's an icon.
OK, you're right. I've thrown my copy of VFP in the bin. Now to dust off that Delphi manual. I dont get the big deal really.
>>>>>My comments are not about what he's done for the vfp community. It's clear that he has done a lot. I also am of opinion that he has the right to move on. But he's criticizing us/me/some, and we/I/they have a right to react.. >>>> >>>>Where did Whil criticize you? >>> >>>He has not given names. Please reread my initial message. >> >>Peter, please, this is paranoia. He is simply saying that "some" people have said some things. If the comment doesnt apply to you then ignore it. Its not about you. > >But that's the point. He is not simply saying that "some" people have said some things. Please reread his text. You have to admit that he accused in the wild without giving names and he also gave a crisp and clear opinion about those who 'hang around' in forums, you included.
Wow. Are we reading the same post - Message #878476 ?? I dont feel insulted by Whil at all. Maybe I'm too thick to realize when I have been?
