I'm pretty new to the whole JK editing community, so when I
checked out the new Forcebuilder page and saw all the
hub bub, I was hesitant to open my mouth at all...
But now that the floodgates are open, I can give my two
cents =)
I read through the FB message board, and the terms
"walking on eggshells" and "kissing up" came to mind...
It really seemed like folks were over-extending themselves
so the kid with the ball wouldn't go home.
Just because someone writes a program doesn't make them good
at business. It seems this is the case here, after seeing
the requests (demands?) of Mr. Welander (sp?) that no one send
hate mail and no one...misspell...the name of his program. (This
one completely baffled me.) When things like this happen, it's hard
not to place aggression on the person instead of the "company."
I'm sure I could find a few things to bash this guy on, but I'll try
not to. But his way of conducting business, even with a freeware program
("might be freeware," actually), is kinda sad. I'm sure Alexi and YES,
even the makers of JKedit get plenty of flack and annoyances (we've
all seen the whiners on the message boards), but they go on and continue
to put out their products.
Hm? Wuzzat? A point?
Ummm...
Naw, just felt like saying something, so there it is...Jerks and flamers, etc.
are just a fact of life in the on-line world, and most people realize it sooner
or later...and some don't, apparently.
