--- Quote from: ark_ader on January 19, 2011, 10:24:41 am ---My Senior manager told me once:  Never write a letter, nor send an electronic message that you could compromise yourself or confuse your intended recipient.  As attitude or expressed meanings are difficult to convey on paper.

That rule is difficult to abide by via this medium, but the advice is suitable in this context none the less.

Sounds to me like he was just telling you not to correspond with people ...  dunno why he would do that ...  :dunno

--- End quote ---

...because all the messages he was sending were completely blacked out.  :P

To be fair, it could have been so long ago that he was using Whiteout?   ;D

One of the many reasons why we have smileys?

I think he was leaning towards communicating verbally about your issues and views, then pen and paper.  It has always helped me in the past.  If in doubt, pick up the phone or don't bother.

He was very much old school, and when he spoke you listened.

But like what I am implying now.  Does, what I type get taken for its merit?  Nope. More ridicule.

--- End quote ---

My fixes were refused a priori by Haze and Derrick, look back couple of pages in this thread and see for yourself, plus there was no one interested to test 720 controller - the binary is available for download, as you know.

I made several variants and I gave them a choice to pick any of those solutions, they not only refused to even discuss it, but they were unwilling to just say what kind of solution would they accept at all.



--- Quote ---Derrick and Badmouth already told you what your problems are.

--- End quote ---

What are you doing? Everyone can see for themselves who said what, and it is obviously me who solved Derrick's problems, I am the only who actually came up with a COMPLETE WORKING solution. Why don't you go to that thread and challenge me, I'll upload binary for testing, ok?



--- Quote ---I expect that your claims of having fixes are similar to your previous claims of having the ultimate control interface (while you simultaneously claimed that the interfaces from Ultimarc and GGG were bad) ... specious.

--- End quote ---

Yes, just like that you only need to actually try it and you will see for yourself.



--- Quote ---You misrepresent what happened ...

Phil Bennett:
- Good grief RB, Haze. I'd vote to ban you two from representing MAME personally.
Two past contributors alienated for the sake of YOUR principles.

AaronGiles (to Phil Bennett):
- You and me both.

--- Quote from: abaraba on January 19, 2011, 02:54:50 am ---You did the same thing with me here, I have fixes for both 720 and gear shifter games, but you're still falsely asserting to represent MAME team and sending me to fork off - confirming your assertive self-entitlement is still destructive to the project, though it seem to work well for getting unsuspected people kiss your ass and thus unknowingly support YOUR personal agenda while thinking they're supporting MAME team. I wonder when they realize this, how many of them would vote to ban you from here as well.

--- End quote ---

Let's be clear that the only way someone gets banned here is by violating my rules of civility and decorum, and Haze has done nothing in that vein. You are on thin ice yourself, he is not.

Yeah, and I'm laughing.
