Thank you kindly, wanderer.
You are a true friend, and too few people on this board remember that
with your Puppy CE puplet, you insured the interim between the time
BarryK retired for good and the time the woof-CE team got organized and
produced a first Pup. You possibly prevented Puppy Linux from falling into
oblivion, IMO.
For that you should have Super-Hero status among Puppyists, along with
archivist ally, who in another way, is preventing our puplets from falling
into oblivion.
When you say
"don't pay any attention to negativity"
I have been the subject of innuendos and put-downs about my work,
such as here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ost#994642
for far too long on the French side.
Multiply that put-down (roughly speaking) once a week for ~ 5 years.
The above is an example of an innuendo aimed at me, but such
innuendos and put-downs have affected a number of developers on the
French side, for roughly the same amount of time, with a crescendo just
before Argolance left -- which led to his decision to leave, actually.
Argolance, jejy69, esmourguit, all extremely talented people, to name
only them, have left because of similar innuendos and personal attacks
by the same person.
Essentially, those personal attacks intensified after we stopped hearing
from Béèm, the then assistant moderator for the French side. He was
never replaced when we stopped hearing from him, by J. Murga or Flash.
As examples of forum-tolerated abuse and negativity from English-
speaking members you only need to read from page 1 of this thread, the
posts attacking me or my opinions. For other telling examples of what I
had to go through, please follow the threads I used while I was
developing my MRUF-lst history handler script. The final version of this
MRUF-lst script was recognized by BarryK.
I am a patient man, and I am tough-skinned, to a degree. I don't
remember if I said it on the English side, but I am not leaving PuppyLinux
(not yet anyway).
I am leaving to a refuge
https://augras.eu/puppy_forum where
I can work in peace, without having to worry about some Puppyists
snapping at my calves or bum whenever I come up with an idea, a
script or an opinion that unsettles them. That negativity takes its toll,
like it or not.
Most Puppyists are fine people; it took only a couple to sour the entire
sauce. And since this forum is mostly unmoderated, those sour creatures
have free rein.
If someone came to me and said, "Look, Christian (my real first name),
we are starting a really well moderated and well managed forum for
Puppy. Are you in?" You bet, I'd be there in the bat of an eye!
But I've reached my threshold for this forum.
"Bonne route" ("safe road") to those of you who are my friends.
I will not forget you.
