one other thing.,..
IF you were such a great saint, you would like nothing more than to take me up on my offer...the same one i've made public numerous times over the last year since aMule has existed...
Peace Attempt #13
If you are man enough to accept...simply take a vacation from aMule for one week. Let me work with the development team for one week. It will take me roughly 3 days probably to get up-to-date on what aMule has accomplished, how it has significantly changed from xMule, and what its goals are. The next 4 days I can spend coding.
I do not need CVS write access...aLL i want to do is see how aMule's team is structured so that I can learn from it, and at the same time prove once and for all to all the people who have never worked with me (no one but you and madcat have on the entire amule team) that I am not a 'dictator' (in fact, i'm too much of a pushover) and am not some closed-sourced fool.
Basically I just want to prove that YOU, delta, and madcat are personally the reasons this war exists and then, once more diplomatic ties have been estabilished by this little exercise, we can forge ahead in joint cooperation because more than just one person on your team will realize they can have dialog with me without getting you involved.
Basically at this point it isn't so much about working *with* you but working with *others* *despite* of you. It will take *much* strength from both of us...both of us will have to overlook how we are benefiting the other, in order to accomplish the greater goods of harmonious co-development of a single product.
I must face that i am directly promoting your ego while simultaneously denying mine (which is already incredibly low). that I must take, albiet in as indirect as possible, your edicts to heart regarding the direction of amule. that i must necessarily correct your mistakes and be absolutely submissive to things that I would normally call stupid, all because i'm humble enough to admit i'm imperfect.
You would have to face the very scary prospect of others seeing through your lies, of possibly learning you haven't mastered C++ (tho Xaignar and phoenix and all the patchers probably demonstrate this enough), the end of the war and thus the loss of your largest propaganda tool, and what will undoubtedly be the hardest for you: The prospect that I would actually become happy helping out aMule and that aMule is actually progressing with *me* on the team.
Of course now i've almost fully guaranteed you'd accept this invitation ,and by printing this sentence, given you an easy out :-)
Enjoy the freedom,
-hope
PS Due to how easily a unicameral democratic system can be overtaken (Germany went from Democracy to dictatorship in 33 days, the bicameral united states will take at least 5 years to do so), this shouldn't (like my past peace offerings) be put up for the mob to vote on. This needs to be an executive decision by the head of the team...if that position *truly* isn't formalized as i have been told through Kry propaganda, then base this on # of lines coded based upon the cvs annotate function.
PPS As I have discussed with Xaignar, I would like nothing more than for this to become so permanent that I can permanently give up developing xMule, despite how this would sadden the core users/testers there who have been there so long, but that's a sacrifice i think we have to take for the good fo the world.
there are bigger issues than my or kry's egos. i hope you can see that. this is why i seek peace...not for the ease of giving in, but for the sake of the future.
I'm still waiting for a peace from Kry...13 from me, 0 from him, he's always the one that blocks the peace too, generally referencing the same mob that took away bigbob's rightful seat and gave it to him.
If you want to know why there is no peace, ask him...ask yourself since you're part of the mob. 12 months since kry joined amule. 13th peace attempt. hmm...
Is it any wonder who started the war? if not, search xmule's forums...many of kry's flames were deleted (in retrospect this is a bad policy) due to their viciousness, but he still has a good 50 or so flames on there. Compare this to the # of my posts on here and realize that 2 of those were peace attempts.
goddman...sorry i'm so anti-kry again. this is why he has to go on vacation during the critical settling in period (1 week)! Until i can work out lines of communication that don't directly involve him, there's no chance of me being able to help out amule :-/ If I still can't cut it w/ him active after htat, then i'll admit my humanity and try to come up with yet another peace plan that is more suitable than this.
