But I'm not to be pitied

Is this some more of your "big lie' technique? Do you suppose that because you don't like me that you can smear some mud and not get 'push-back" as you call it. Show me a url or shut up.

My public comments have all been about getting my bugs fixed. Until now, I refrained from making personal attacks because I don't know you or care to. All I want is that as an officer of Userland you honour your contract to fix reported bugs in a timely manner, something the company has signally failed to do. You've opted to take bug report - bug reporting with fixes , for Christ sakes - as a personal affront. You've been signally rude to me and people I respect; you've labelled me as pirate without any basis for doing so. And now you accuse me of being sneaky and cowardly, angry and bitter all at once.

I bet the assembled respectful audience are going to be glad that I'm so cowed by your accusations that I publish them for all to see. I hope you don't expect me to slink off into the darkness whence I came, because I'm not about to. I'm not ashamed of anything I've done since I've been using Frontier and nothing you say will change that. I have, however, come to regret spending so much effort on a product whose take-up has been so hamstrung by the irrational antics of its CEO.

Recall a lesson from history, that people who blather about integrity and demand respect are generally those who have the least of either. It would be a pity if you were to be remembered that way.
