Jon,
Having been pointed out to you by many respected members of this list and
many other members of the PHP "team" your tone is unnecessary. You have
persisted to attack both rasmus and zeev, at times. They both (as well as
andi and many many others.. Too many to mention) have put many many hours
into PHP for the love of it, until the invent of Zend there was no promise
of profit (and still is no promise) but they carried on all the same. They
all have become leaders in the development of PHP and for that they deserve
respect.
They have written the code from the base up and have done the best they can
while doing this. I think that it is firstly very arrogant and secondly
extremely rude of you to critcise them like this. I do not see you
spearheadding one of the most successful pieces of opensource web software,
and I can tell you why, this is due to your blantient "If its not done my
way then I can do it better attitude". Both Rasmus and Zeev would I sure
admit there are things in the PHP codebase that are not the way they should
be and they are added to the todo list along with everything else.
If you were one of the senior developers over at MySQL or PgSQL or anyother
OS project then Im sure your opinion would be of more value, but at the
moment the way you express it it becomes totally worthless. I think you
should go away and gain some respect for other people. Im sure if I spent 10
mins looking at any code you did I could point out pieces of your code I
would personally do differently because I think that doing it this way would
be better and Im only a 17 year old student that has an interest in PHP and
enjoys the comunity spirit, where I can actually feel from time to time I
have done somthing to forward the development of PHP (wether it be adding
somthing to the manual or doing some QA).
I do not see Zeev speaking to me in a condisending tone because of this
fact, in fact every time I speak to Zeev or Andi on IRC or via Email they
are curtious and pleasent to me as well as giving me respect, I have never
once felt that either of them have thought why am I even listening to his
opinion it does not matter to PHP, ofcourse Im not as experianced as some of
you guys, but there is such a thing as common human coutisy which personally
I feel is very important and is also the reason why PHP is where it is,
because apart from the odd person like you, yes that is a personal attack,
everyone is curtious and intelligent enough to hold constructive discussions
when it comes to issues like this.
I have great respect for all of the PHP developers because they are here
doing what they enjoy but for free, I think this is enough for them to have
done to deserve anyones respect.
But ofcourse you are on a higher level to use mere mortals so you as always
are right.
Yours
James
P.S. A reply consiting of You are only a 17 YO student and thus your opinion
doesnt matter is fine but at least thing of what I have said and lets hope
you either grow up a bit or send a blank email to
php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net and do us all a favour. Im also glad you
approve of the Docu Changes by Ron et all, perhaps we could get you to sit
on the PHP-CVS list and moderate all commits incase somthing does not come
up to your standards.
P.P.S. I am sorry to continue this thread people but I feel quite strongly
about this and that it needed to be said (although Zeev and Stas have also
already said this too..)
