Here is HAA's "reasoning":

They are the Masters, and we are the slaves.  They are far, far wiser
than we.  We must never, never question the Masters!  We must humbly
grovel at their feet.  I am very willing, no, eager, to do that.
People like Hugh should be forced to be humble as well.  It is not
fair that they are allowed to defy the Masters.

I can't imagine what the Masters' reasons were for adopting Locals|
instead of {, but they must have been very good!  The Masters are
infallible!  Do not be a heretic!  Do not defy the Masters!
Do not ever try think for yourself!  You have no right to think!

It was actually Stephen Pelc (a member of the Forth-200x TC), not HAA who said: "The fact remains ANS TC voted for Colburn's  LOCALS|  over the braces notation.  They must have had their reasons."

You are attacking people willy nilly, without even getting your names straight.

I don't want your support. Please go away --- you are not helping me with this juvenile blather.

You are not a Forth programmer --- you have no purpose on comp.lang.forth except to attack people --- go back to posting Gauche Scheme code on comp.lang.lisp and getting totally ignored over there.

What is sad about this, is that from what I've read, Gauche Scheme is a good language --- but you drive people away because nobody wants to be associated with you --- I very much doubt that the author Shiro Kawai wants you support any more than I do.
