Said a guy who is apparently doing nothing of value with his life while waiting for his elderly parents to die so he can inherit something. Rude enough? Yeah, I didn't think so either ... Did you know that Google Groups posted your IP to Usenet? I bet you didn't ... You really shouldn't post to Usenet while using Google Groups. It's truly amazing what information you can track down from just an IP or a name. FYI, try posting to Usenet via AIOE.org next time to obscure your IP. Your name is Brian F Dickens, roughly 40 years old, likely living with your elderly parents at their beach house in a small city called Amelia roughly fourty miles outside Jackonsville, FL. It appears to be an 1800 square foot house built in the 1930's. From the satellite photo, it has a long pier to a boathouse. Scary? Don't take this too hostily or seriously. I was just being a dick because you're being a dick, Dick. > Whoever this "Rod Pemberton" is... dude's got issues. Why are you insulting me? Dude, I didn't insult you. Asshole! Yes, it's true that Usenet groups are not as polite as forums or a Google Group, but I don't see where I said something hostile. I also don't see where I deserve your diatribe. > e.g. Instead of following the download link to find that > I meant 1MB binary *per-platform* What's a matter with you, can't you write that? Why must I go on a "snipe hunt" to find out what YOU *supposedly* meant? Shouldn't your words express what YOU *actually* meant? Think about it. And, I did follow the first link you posted: http://www.red-lang.org/p/contributions.html It goes to a webpage of exuberant, flowery, inflated language for the "Red Programming Language". It doesn't even go to the one about Rebol which you were discussing. It just mentions that some Red programmers happen to like Rebol and "hang out" in a Rebol forum. > (though any binary can compile from any platform to any other), What's the point? I asked that before. Maybe, answer the questions asked instead of taking offense and whinning about other things just to whine. > he chose to write an essay about how "bytecodes and executable > formats are different". Yes, I was attempting to have a conversation with someone who seemed overly exuberant and not really clear on the issues. Replying to you in your excited and/or happy state was clearly a mistake on my part. I knew better. I now have to reply to you in your depressed and/or angry state. > I suppose for some people it's easier to write than to read? There is nothing on the webpage with the link that indicates that 1MB binary is per platform. In fact, it states exactly what I thought you stated, but supposedly not what you meant: "The tool doesn=E2=80=99t depend on anything besides what came with your= OS...shipping as a single executable that=E2=80=99s smaller than a megab= yte." Where's the "per platform"? I'm not blind. I don't see it. Do I need to go to the download page to find this out? > Whatever. The tone of my reply was no different than yours and just as polite, at least, I thought so. I was attempting to discuss some of the problems you or your cohorts were likely to face. So, I'm really not sure why you took offense. > Rod: *never* reply to anything I write on the Internet again. > I'll do the same in return. That's a good deal: take it. Some might take that statement as a threat ... Should I? Rod Pemberton
