Of course.
Of course.
Someone might grow a pair, become a man, and apologize (privately) to Polonus for the ridiculous way he chose to handle a simple matter.
Polonus has been a good friend to me, and Avast forum for years. Hurry home, D.
While I did not always understand ever word in his posts, I always appreciated the fact that he was giving valuable information. I have learnt many things over the years from his posts. By the way, Polonus is Dutch and his English language is not perfect. I have met the man and talked with him at length. He is very intelligent and has probably forgotten more than most of us will learn about computer security.
Yes, he did forget links sometimes but more times than not he did include them. Still, without the links it should have been obvious to most of us that he was quoting someone else. It was obvious to Logos and that is why he attacked Polonus. We all know he was repeatedly attacked for simple mistakes we all make. Logos was not right and has attacked Polonus for other mistakes. Asking Polonus to correct mistakes is one thing but the attacks he was given were un-called for by anyone.
Who among us has never made a mistake? Those who have not, keep on casting stones while the rest of us watch in horror as you make your first mistake.
We can’t afford to lose people who help others, and that is what Polonus has done in this forum.
I for one, would hope these bad feelings don’t keep him away.
After all, it was really only one persons rant, and the majority of us seem to be thankful for his help.
Of course, everyone is welcomed to their opinion, but it went a little too far and became too personal in this case.
