Re: [PHP4BETA] php and MS SQL Server....

Hello Andrei, Aren't you guys even a little fed up of this thread? If you keep questioning what I say I am forced to reply to restore the truth so I don't get to be the bad guy. On 07-Mar-00 12:04:24, you wrote: >> You got me wrong. My bad experiences are not with PHP, but rather with >> Rasmus descrimination. >What discrimination are you talking about? Rasmus explained why your Rasmus descrimination towards myself is a long story of sad episodes that I am not please to bring up over and over again. Rasmus just doesn't like to be questioned in public and feels bothered for those that do so. That's how descrimination on his part started. That was before the HTTP PUT episode, which is much longer episode that includes deliberately ignoring messages and other hard to understand cold attitude that I no longer care to describe because you simply took the side of Rasmus without knowing the facts and don't seem to care to listen for those that get hurt and bother to complain in public. Rest assured that right now as this thread as been going on, only I get several messages from people expressing that they don't understand why I feel this way about Rasmus attitude, there are a few other people that express their solidarity because they also have been mistreated by Rasmus till they feel discouraged to even come to public lists and ask basic things because they don't want to put up with him. The only difference is that I bother to speak freely in public forums so you wake up and see that there are some people that are sistematically put away from providing useful contributions just because Rasmus doesn't like their "faces". Never mind, it was not your foot it was stepped on. >patch was not accepted in clear terms. If you decide to be grumpy about >that, it's your choice, but don't go around badmouthing people who have >done so much for the community. This is the ridiculous part!!! Just one more last said episode so you get to know what kind of person Rasmus that you praise for doing so much for the community. Some time ago I started a small page for reviews of books and editor programs of interest for PHP users. If you don't know that page yet, look here: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/products.html Like I did with all other book authors that I could contact, I asked for a review copy, since this site is a free service and I cannot afford buy all those books that were listed. All the authors that I contacted prompted to send the books over to me, except guess who? Precisely Rasmus, your praised community leader. This site was started with the intention to guide users so they can read useful reviews about books and tools of interest before they decide what's is the most recommended for what they need to develop with PHP. I requested a review copy of Rasmus book, but I got no reply from him. I can guess that he'll be going to claim he didn't read the message like he did some months ago when he was publically questioned why he didn't add the address of the mailing list for Portuguese speaking users as I requested. If I am not mistaken, it was Jim again that was so kind to attend the request. For somebody that you praise for doing so much for the community, you have to admit that these repeated episodes are at least very weird! Maybe his sense of community is that everybody is equal, but some are less equal and don't deserve his cooperation even when it is all for the good of that same community.
