Hi Scott, First off, I have not seen every post from Mark. I can assure you though that if he has inadvertently posted anything that was under beta, it was an accident.
I’ve spoken with him and I trust him implicitly otherwise he would not be moderating this list. My understanding is that anything that has been posted here is not under NDA so can be freely discussed. If either I or Mark are wrong then please, by all means, point us to the post in question. I am just asking that you do it off-list so we close this thread. As far as your calling hypocrisy, though, and saying you can know my thoughts / feelings with the limited knowledge you have of me, I will ask you simply, what on earth have I done or said to you that basically makes you respond in essence by either calling me a lier or a hypocrite every time I write something in response to you, no matter how honest or matter-or-fact it is? Scott, put simply, if you do not trust me or Mark, to the extent that you feel that every time we respond to you, we are somehow not being honest then why the hell are you still here? -And before you go shouting about this list being some sort of power trip for me or Mark, if that were the case then one of us would have simply removed you a long time ago. We obviously haven’t. I was completely honest and straight-forward in my response to you and I am honestly getting really tired of the same old vitriol and pour-me stuff from your side. there’s a lot that you say that I agree with and I think you have a whole lot of knowledge and wisdom that you can and do share with this list. So why the hell do you keep playing the whole downtrodden card? You’re not downtrodden by any of the moderation. You say a lot of great things here. Just because I may not agree with every single thing you say does not mean I do not respect you. Whether or not you respect me on the other hand is your business. I do wish you would stop the pettiness in your responses to me though. I approached you with only honesty and plain english. -no name-calling or sleights. If you don’t respect me personally; fine, but please, if you honestly feel that Mark and I in general, are being somehow underhanded with you, then please just consider going elsewhere. I’m simply tired of your attitude no matter how nice or respectful I attempt to be with you. This is not a demand, this is simply a request because I have just simply had enough of the BS. So now, how much more honest would you like me to be? Mark’s intentions have always been to be appropriate here on this list and he holds himself very strongly to the same standards that he asks of anyone. I have known him for many years and he exhibits tremendous character. So if he has ever posted anything inappropriate you can be sure it was purely accidental. -And this is exactly what I am talking about. You should really get to know someone before you speak out of turn about someone. I know we all say things at times that are off, but rather than doubling down on this sort of thing, why not actually attempt to listen to someone rather than assume what you think they feel? Anyway, my apologies for such a long note. Thanks for reading. Consider it if you like; delete it if you want. -Either way is fine with me at this point. I wish you the best Scott, and have a great day. Cheers!

When mark posts tens of articles on IOS 11 which is still in beta yet complains when Anders asks a legitimate question that impacts our community there is something clearly wrong. I don’t need to know you personally to know your personal feelings, remember the phrase actions speak louder than words. The hypocrisy in this case speaks volumes. It’s a total case of do as I say not as I do. When dozens of sites post articles daily, some of which Mark himself has quoted on list about IOS betas and then pulls that crap with Anders it’s confusing at best and bad form. No, I do not know you personally and no I don’t know Mark personally although I’ve talked to him a bit on list and so forth a bit more and have followed his postings since the mobile speak days but this sort of thing gives a bad impression. I’ll withdraw the personal feelings aspect of the criticism if you feel it’s inaccurate but the general thrust still stands and also to be accurate, this is the first time in probably a year I’ve heard you comment on moderation so my point was mainly directed at Mark as you hadn’t joined the thread. I talked to Anders about this on the side. We were both under the impression that the prohibition against public beta discussion had been lifted a long time ago again do to Mark’s posting of these topics as well as my own, Kliph’s and many others that went unchallenged for a year now. As I stated, it’s your list so by extension sort of your house and I'll comply because we’re guests in your domain but that doesn’t make it right, reasonable or justifiable. I most definitely did not mean to personally attack you or Mark so any thoughts around personal feelings or characteristics I’ll gladly withdraw but as far as professionalism goes and the business of running the list Mark’s stifling of Anders point was unacceptable but unacceptable is the way it will be if you, mark and the other mods if they exist say so. So, no discussion of betas unless the mods post articles on the betas because it’s do as I say not as I do. Got it!
