You can try to justify this all you want, but the timing of it and your PUBLIC hate for XoloX at that time is too coincidental. Your "technical" rant has been the same from day one, maybe if you tell the story enough even you will believe it.
You could have left it working for a while longer, it's already written code and it wasn't like you had to write MORE code to keep supporting it for a little while longer, but you knew that it would put that last knife in the back of XoloX.
Hope it was "very therapeutic to lop off" XoloX.
Now XoloX is back along with Gnucleus with .6 handshake AND MORE, and you are eating dust. Hope your therapist can handle all your rage lately since you are losing your little "game" and all your little schemes and plans are blowing up in your face.
And yes, you have rubbed a whole lot of people the wrong way since you started this, it's your personality, and you can't go back and change that. It's not just the XoloX thing that makes people "dislike" you, it's a whole bunch of things you have done. Ask your therapist.
