Wow so just saving a webpage as a PDF you too can own a book, the future of book making is now! Really though I appreciate the effort to meaninglessly differentiate, if something is nearly 400 pages (freely accessible even) information and considers itself a book... maybe it's a book. Especially in the age that publishing is so democratized anyone can self publish(and I mean anyone). You are right though we should purposely write obnoxious comments about "some dude" just to illicit a response from them. From my recollection you have been referred to as a 'Community Manager' who is presently saying "dude" at someone cause they had a misunderstanding due to a language barrier. I really do not understand all the hate for Stefan from you lot. Based off Stefan's statements, the common targeted comments is the reason he thought "dude" was a pejorative. > subtly xenophobic like some Dr. Dude Hehe let's make fun of someone's lack of understanding English colloquialisms such as 'dude', that totally cannot be misconstrued as 'xenophobic'. As someone that was not here when the strife was formed, but has contributed to many parts of the community perhaps it's very much time to rethink if this disdain is sensible. Given this view it just appears as petulant childish behaviour. We are all adults working on a common goal of getting more Nim programmers through education, interest, and stability. PS: I will not be engaging with any further argumentative statements so if you want to write a response to me send it to `/dev/null`
