Hello Valik,
here I give you the opportunity to comunicate with me.
DO NOT delete this entry, otherwise I would assume, that you like to perform a "botting" fight.
bye, bye

[Valik]

Alright. I'll bite. Who are you and why are you doing this? What have I ever done to you since clearly you bear some grudge against me so you hurt the entire AutoIt community with your behavior.

Hello Valik,
I don't like yoir disrespectful behavior in the forum.
Rejecting requests in TRAC with poor arguments, shouting and revoking users, who only want to support you.
Therefore, I decided to teach you a lesson. I choosed the bug section of TRAC, since this has no harm to the average user, but only makes trouble for you, since you are covering the bug section.

My pre-conditions to honor a cease-fire are the followings:

• Delete this bug-report.
• Reinstate banned users: Tinyboy and JellyFish666
• Remove arbitrary users qwertzu3, qwertzu4 and qwertzui6 from the board.
• Send your answer to TinyBoy

Awaiting your polite response in TinyBoys mail-in box. :-)

Hopefully, we can meet again at the right side of the fence.

Best regards

TinyBoy

Replying to TinyBoy:

So you respond by disrespecting the entire AutoIt community.

Rejecting requests in TRAC with poor arguments, shouting and revoking users, who only want to support you.

We have the right to close any ticket for any reason in any way we see fit. This is *our* project, not yours.

Therefore, I decided to teach you a lesson.

You taught me several things. How to treat people "better" was not one of them.

I choosed the bug section of TRAC, since this has no harm to the average user,

Wrong. As I'm sure you're well aware, the ability to post new tickets has been shut off quite a lot recently. That means people can't ask for features or post bugs. This started right after a new major release when it's expected for us to receive a few bug reports of things we missed or overlooked. How are people supposed to report those when we have to keep our issue tracker turned off? In addition, this created such a back-log for one of our valued members that he accidentally banned himself from Trac trying to post all the things he had been sitting on. He banned himself because we had to enforce tighter rules to mitigate the temporary damage you were doing. So no, you didn't just affect me. You affected the entire community.

In addition, your stunt using the Report feature on the forum is known to me, though it did not affect me at all since I don't see those. Generating a hundred or so emails to half a dozen people who aren't me seems to contradict your logic rather nicely.

If you care about the language so much then you should be disappointed to learn that you (temporarily) stopped development on a feature. I was attempting to work on something when I had to stop and deal with your garbage. I have yet to find time to resume work on it. So is that how you teach me a lesson? Get me out of having to better the language to stop and deal with you? Is that really productive? What goal is that serving? How does that not affect the rest of the community? If I don't finish that feature for weeks or months now you just caused the entire community to miss out on a feature for that time frame.

So contrary to what you may think, you attacked everybody, not just me.

but only makes trouble for you, since you are covering the bug section.

Wrong again. You affected every other developer as well. We all had to take action to keep your spam out. I was not alone in keeping the issue tracker clean. Never mind everything I've said previously about how your behavior affected the entire community.

My pre-conditions to honor a cease-fire are the followings:

• Delete this bug-report.

No. It will remain publicly available.

• Reinstate banned users: Tinyboy and JellyFish666

No. Your behavior here is reason enough to keep TinyBoy banned. As for JellyFish666, he was warned in advance what would happen and he chose to proceed anyway. Further to that he he threatened us. That's instant removal.

• Remove arbitrary users qwertzu3, qwertzu4 and qwertzui6 from the board.

What we do with banned accounts is our business, not yours.

• Send your answer to TinyBoy

No. I will post it here for all to see.

Awaiting your polite response in TinyBoys mail-in box. :-)

Hopefully, we can meet again at the right side of the fence.

No, we will never be on the same side of the fence. No matter how much you dislike me your actions are not acceptable to the community. There's an expression called "collateral damage". You just made the entire community your collateral damage because you have a personal vendetta against me. You just attacked an entire community in order to make my life difficult despite the fact that before your spam started I had never spoken to you for any reason what-so-ever (that I am aware of).

To my German Neighbor,

My time is wasted here as much as Jon's, Valiks and others.
If you have a quarrel here with this community and your only sollution is to resort to actions like this I can only say that I feel sorry for you as you must be lacking something in life that's really important to you.
To me there is only one person here that should tell Valik to change/behave/Shut-Up and that is Jon as AutoIt3 is his baby and nobody else's.
Everybody else can have an opinion about it and even voice that in a mature way but I cannot see the validity in you trying to take the law in your own hands and starting a vendetta against Valik by totally screwing up the Forum or the TRAC system and hurting our community as a whole.

So I would appreciate you get of our case and move on to find another good cause to put your energy in.

Jos
