DOS ain't dead

Proof by repetition: If I say it three times, it's true. If I say it three more times, then it's absolutely true forever.

Proof by intimidation: I am bigger/older/smarter than you are, therefore what I say is true.

Proof by invective: You are a stinking piece of ****, therefore only what I say can be true.

Proof by hearsay: Somebody told me it's true.

That's possibly why it is in the "Sandbox". Is this comment constructive enough, dear friend?

It has everything to do with the new mode of discussion here. Why don't you address that comment to Jacko? Or say it while looking in a mirror?

> That's possibly why it is in the "Sandbox".

That was what I had in mind. But now I'm thinking it could have been in "Emulation".

I have a good news for you both. I leave this forum too, like Jack.

Noone replied within 2 days. OTOH I know that you are eagerly waiting - in your famous "read-only" mode - for comments on your farewell. To not torture you any longer, I will do this job:

You're welcome to return to this forum whenever your paranoia needs new fodder in form of some insults. Well, you know, blatant abuses is not "my style" usually, but in your case I will make an exception, since I'm a nice guy always willing to help.

Just stay away from this forum, Lucho. Personal insults will not be tolerated in any language.

I'm not usually a fan of censorship, but I would not be disturbed if you deleted that message. I sometimes review discussions, and don't need that m_____ in the way.

Heh, I guess you have to know French (which I don't) to be insulted by this. (Thanks to Urban Dictionary for the explanation.)

Seriously, "Can't we all just get along?" Remember, "A light-hearted man has a continual feast."

Yes, but I like to have variations here and there and want to be in a bad mood sometimes. Furthermore, I really love my enemies and can't imagine how to live without them.

It's already hard enough defending the acceptable uses of DOS without fighting amongst ourselves. I mean, why is the DOS userbase so dysfunctional? Nobody shed any blood, so why such acrimony? Live and let live. "It is good sense in a man to be slow to anger".

Our admin now acts properly, but where had he been when A.Grech was the Troll?! Look at the thread about the new UDMA/UDVD/XMGR to see his personal insults

100% agreed, but it isn's me who needs enemies. Someone else wrote that he "can't imagine how to live without them" (enemies). I'm even ready to forgive him if he stops attacking me and Jack at last. It'd be a big relieve for us all!

Anyway, my apologies for disturbing you. You won't see posts of mine here again.

> You won't see posts of mine here again.

Will you be sailing off in your Ark, playing with your animals and shoveling their m____ and s_____?

Lucho, why not stay in this forum? Noone forces you to leave. There's no need to "forgive" me, we can just ignore each other as we did in the past. Indeed, I made a small mistake lately by docking one of my posts to yours (because it was related to the XDVD driver), giving you the impression that I'm talking to you - which was not at all my intention ... and the little quarrel inevitably started again.

I'm an ordinary member of this forum. Just ignore me, I will ignore you, and nothing will happen.

I was surprised that you wrote this, but perhaps I just don't know you enough?! I've always believed in the good in each human being, so I gladly accept your invitation. Let's forget the shameful bullshit that we've written to each other, and be careful not to allow such things in the future. Thanks and sorry, if anything
