Freddie, I appreciate all the effort that you have put into the Windows build, and I hope you will continue to work with the community to improve it.
That does not make it acceptable for you to continue trolling here. You are the one creating a problem here, antagonizing those of us who want to respect the GPL license by attempting to label us as fundamentalists. I laugh at your obvious attempt at provocation. If you have to answer questions over and over, then -- it seems quite clear to me -- that your documentation fails to cover the required procedures in sufficient detail or clarify. That is not our failing. It is yours -- if only for failing to provide patches that answer the questions that you claim to be getting. Your attempt to blame the community for these shortcomings is positively unacceptable and immature, and you look like a real jerk from where I am sitting. Let me blunt: Fix the problems. Stop whining. I will not ignore Windows users, unless they behave like you have. Trolling is not now, nor will it ever be, acceptable in this community. So knock it off. Cheers, Zach P.S. I don't care what the problems are, since you apparently prefer to bitch about them than to help to fix them. This is directly a result of trolling rather than being constructive, but I am still willing to help those who help themselves. You aren't. This is the last reply you will get from me until you change your attitude and approach this community with more respect.
