He doesn't know the meaning of joy. Re-reading some of his old posts on BTTR from 2007 shows a *very* angry person, and he has not improved since then. Thankfully, he went away from there so we've had some good years without his drama. >> I don't know, but I tried. I really tried to solve the situation.

Honesty is a virtue. >> Tell the truth, Jack! Stop portraying everyone else as an enemy when >> nobody did anything to you! > > Why do you waste so much energy in trying to understand Jack? He directly blames me for this fiasco (although it's clear he has issues with many others). It's also worse than that because he keeps constantly following us around, re-announcing his "new" drivers, but he never admits his mistakes! He keeps saying he'll go away, but he never does. It's not like I'm pestering him! It's not even open source, not even freeware, we can't even redistribute it, and *then* he adds (yet another) OEM ban in the software itself? Crazy! And he *still* wants attention. > You (or any other soul) probably never will, but does it *really* (!) matter? I can't fully understand him, no, but I have a good idea. Granted, he could be full of it and carrying a hidden agenda, but the truth is probably just mental illness. I tried to piece together the facts, just to demonstrate to others exactly why this is so irrational. Does it really matter? No, we don't need his drivers. I've half-joked "just use GNU/Linux [+ DOSEMU2 + FreeDOS]!!" because that works as well as isn't exactly weak or expensive or uncommon or non-free. > Rug, just be a gentleman and *respect* (= accept) his decisions, because > anything else will not lead to a healthy mind. Respect his decisions?? It's not like he's a kind and rational person. He doesn't have good reasons for his anger or his actions. All of his anger is irrational nonsense, and we don't deserve a lick of it. He gets nothing practical out of all of this drama, and his punishments are for imaginary crimes. He is not doing anyone any favors, it's all out of spite. Which is ridiculous when the root cause is all his own fault. It's *not* personal. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. We are perfect strangers. But yes, he does have an axe to grind. > Do you know this short story? > "Two Monks and a Woman - a Zen Lesson" "All I did, was *reaching out my hand for peace* as I have done *several times* before, but all I get from you [Jack] are *personal insults*.
