Yes, lets not mess up nice, upstanding Gnutella forums. The community needs someplace where we can all work together. Bearshare.net is already an ugly fragfest, so better for the battle to continue there than here. Supposedly, a bearshare.net Quake level is even being developed.
No, it's been a public issue since Vinnie started flaming anyone whose postings didn't meet with his approval. Want examples? Look at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...?threadid=1343 or at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...?threadid=359. These temper tantrums are from last May, and continue to this day. What kind of response does he expect?
The significant contributions Morgwen has made to gnet is what really speaks volumes about him. Granted, he did say ppl on bearshare.net were stupid. Morgwen, perhaps you should have said "some of the people on bearshare.net are stupid". There are also decent people there, many of whom support you.Innocent users? As opposed to guilty users? Vinnie's bad attitude has done far more to push people away from BS than anything else. It is unreasonable to expect anyone, including Morgwen, to tolerate his abusive behavior. You don't see other developers acting this way, do you?
