So we could stop it? "it" being the discussion you tried distracting from (sort of successfully) or the wild ad hominem attacks only you indulged in? I don't see that Felix is even in the situation of knowing what you want him to stop in order for you to stop your completely unsolicited attacks. I mean, short of him to stop existing. This really reminds me of the time I had some personal troll attacking me on the TeX Usenet group whenever I suggested using some tool (Free Software, by the way) I suggested to use for a particular use case since I had not disclosed my "vested interest" since I was its author and had on some website the information that I'd be willing to take payment for further work on it. It was sort of annoying but also sort of hilarious. Hey, found it: <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.text.tex/YyLjqUzl-ko/6Z76M-sDKegJ> I'm surprised it's been only 8 years: feels so much longer ago (though he probably popped up for a few years previous to that). At any rate, this compulsion to attack Felix' credibility for some grudge about something you somehow resented discovering for reasons of your own 3 years ago reminded me a lot of it. You don't have anything to win from that grudge: no reputation and no factual argument. So there is no point in trying to bargain with others in return for stopping to damage yourself. Just let it go. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
