Just for the record. Alyce Watson directed the writer to the first rule having been broken.
Also the message and the response have been removed from the board.
My feeling is that breaking that rule is a bit tenuous. LBB is pretty much the same as a library being written for a language, which must be included for the relevant code to work. The writer of the library will make reference to the library whenever it is used to write relevant code. I don't believe that Richard has done anything different.

And further for the record, I will include my response to Daniel. I did NOT speak to anything regarding Richard. I was telling Daniel that he(Daniel) should not be discussing other languages in depth. If I am to be quoted, I'd like it to be exact quotes.
Quote:Please read all of these Rules with special attention to the first one.
Please keep in mind that we don't condone the trashing of other people. That includes Richard.
Do not assume that Carl is ignoring the development of LB when updates are slow to arrive. People have complicated lives. I do not know what is happening in Carl's life, but people in general must deal with medical problems and emergencies for themselves and their families, disasters, accidents, financial problems... the list goes on and on and on. If Carl is late with an update, assume he is unable to work on it, not that he doesn't care. Carl cares passionately about this language he created in 1992.
Also, and this is really important, do not speculate as to motives and actions of other people. You will often be wrong. Others will take your speculations as facts and you could hurt people. Kindness never goes amiss.
Can we let this rest, now? |

And I removed the message to be fair (and I hope kind) to Richard.

I take it that you are referring to "This forum exists for the promotion and discussion of the Liberty BASIC language by Carl Gundel. Other programming languages and competing products may not be promoted here." At the time of any claimed 'violation' the clauses "by Carl Gundel" and "and competing products" were not present; they were added more recently to cover LBB.
Presently, as I understand it, LBB may be mentioned at the LB Community Forum but may not be promoted. As that's a somewhat tricky distinction to make, there was a clarification that a response such as "LBB provides an alternative solution" (with a link to this forum) is permitted.
Richard.

Indeed, without hesitation I would like to express my thanks for the post's removal.
To be fair to Daniel as well, I believe he is very young and inexperienced in life, and may well not have appreciated the impact his comments would make.
Richard.
