DJ, how about you stop polluting topics and spouting nonsense about language wars ? As he tried to explain you (but you won't listen) critor's post wasn't aimed at creating a war.
If anything, the one who created division and war in the topic was you, by having a stupid interpretation of what was written.

To be clearer than the last paragraph of critor's post: admins, make DJ_O cool down, or face reduced newsing activity by critor & Adriweb (and thereby reduced activity of your entire board). Lower activity due to a single person out of his mind is the last thing the community needs, needless to say.

I know Critor said something that sparked controversy. I think attacking each other because of that won't solve the problem, you guys will go overboard and we definitely don't need this.

I want excuses to each other, if you don't mind.

Seems to me that at first, a small sentence that might have been misunderstood snowballed and created a whole big bad thing.
Critor's "apology" for maybe having written something not 100% crystal clear for some readers (going as far as controversy-sparkling, even, for some ) is something kind of him (I myself wasn't shocked by his sentence, I know what he meant), so the least that would be expected from DJ is then his apology, I guess, as Juju said.

The community doesn't need any troubles

you can easily take stuff out of context and make you say you hate Ndless.

You forgot "pour ce type de jeu".

But the "toutefois" word shows that Critor is not bashing the game, but saying "everything is awesome except that little thing".

And keep in mind not everyone have hardware J/K calcs and if someone wants Ndless, you can easily avoid them by buying second hand.

But that is becaus you know it, but not everyone knows that. A lot of people on TI Planet are asking "how do I downgrade from 3.2.4" and answer J when we ask "what is your hardware revision ?", because they weren't aware of all those protections.

Also, as mentionned mdr1, Critor doesn't hate Ndless (or he would have done mViewer in TI Basic), but just said that a non ressource-expensive game couls have been done in Lua, even though it would have been a lot slower to load with all those graphics, a lot bigger in size, and possibly not fun to code for AJOrians if he prefers coding in C over Lua. So it was just a "could have been possible to", not a "should never have happened".

Thanks to whoever temporarily unlocked the topic so I can reply back.

Knowing that critor and a few other people here (mainly the older staff) are well aware of my situation, the fact still remains that the consequences of my actions remain the same no matter the issues I might have and I have to assume those consequences (for example, if my behavior went too far and I needed a ban). Just know that expecting a change from my part is a lost cause from the start, for the reason that I already explained to many people in private long ago. I tried for over 20 years to improve my self-control problems and saw specialists for it, but after what happened in December 2010, where I came very short of doing the same thing Tribal did, it finally became clear that I would have to live with my problem for the rest of my life (as well as the consequences that come with it).

That said, I went too far again. Just know that it was mever my intention to hurt anyone's feelings in my posts and I am sorry if my messages were interpreted that way. For the rest, since everything escalated after my first post, I would like to apologize for anything I said that could be deemed offensive or defamatory. It was in the heat of the moment, but my intention was only to defend AJorians and his hard work. However, my stance regarding criticisms of programs based on the used programming language remains the same as it has been since 2004 (although it no longer matters in this situation, seeing that it was a misunderstood and that until reading http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=152732#p152732 , I was not aware that the Ndless remark was not directly aimed at the author nor the program): In the past, the TI community was often divided by such criticisms. I think that Hayleia on TI-Planet perfectly sums up my opinion and I wish that I could have been able to word it that well:

Même si ce n'était pas méchant, et que c'était juste un petit regret, le soulignement d'une petite tache verte sur le tableau rose, ça fait quand même un peu "c'est dommage que personne ne pourra y jouer alors qu'ils auraient pu, franchement, sur un jeu comme ça" (en moins violent évidemment). Je ne dis pas que c'est faux, encore une fois, juste que moi, si j'étais AJOrians et si je lisais ça, je me dirais "bon ben personne n'y jouera, j'arrête de le coder, et je le refais pas en Lua, j'ai pas envie de le recoder", et lors de mon prochain jeu, je me dirais "vais pas le faire en C, on va me le 'reprocher' (même si ce n'est pas un reproche), mais pas en Lua non plus ça va être moins beau" et finalement je vais arrêter de coder.

Also thanks to Critor for the apologies. Sadly I am unsure what more that can be done for now besides my apologies here and in the TI-Planet thread, since the harm is already done and knowing my situation, so anyone thinks I should go from TI-Planet, then I will do it. However, if that's the case, maybe a ban there might be in order, in case I run into some controversial thread and am too tempted to participate. The only other solution I can find is to only post in English on TI-Planet from now on to reduce risks of misunderstandings (since the Quebec<>France language barrier seems even worse than English<>French).

Anyway, for me, the whole thing is settled, so if anyone wants to lock this topic again, feel free to do it.
