    Re: TwinBasic

    Keep it on topic folks, and stay away from personal attacks.

    I have deleted most of the posts from today (and a few from a couple of days ago).

    Due to the large quantity of posts today, some valid things have also been removed - I didn't have time to edit multiple posts to keep the valid parts (but thankfully those parts seem to be implied by the posts that remain).



    If you want to discuss things that aren't related to twinBasic, create another thread for that discussion - and avoid personal attacks.

    In my opinion, apart from the personal attack on Niya's post, I have not seen any personal attacks on other posts in this thread.

    Could you send me my deleted posts in a private message? I'll post those posts to another thread of Chit-Chat. Because Niya does not seem to intend to stop making trouble in the VB6 sub-forum, I think it is necessary to have a complete dialogue (or debate) with Niya.

    To be fair to Niya he has been helpful with twinBASIC on this thread.

    I don't think you are likely to ever convince him that VB6 is better than VB.Net but as he is now moving away from VB.Net (to C#) there seems little point in trying.

    Of course, his discussion on the "Set" keyword is very meaningful.

    In my opinion, explaining to someone "VB6 is better than VB.Net" is a very strange and stupid thing. Obviously I will not do such a stupid thing. What I just want to explain to Niya is, don't provoke disputes on VB6-related threads, and stop repeating things that all VB6ers understand on VB6-related threads.

    There's more to come. I'm doing some light work in C#/Xamarin right now. When I'm done with that, I wanna finish up what I was doing in TwinBASIC.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber

    There were several, to varying degrees.

    No, that would be a waste of my time. Not only would they be out of context, but there were also some attacks in there.


    It is time for these off-topic posts to stop, keep this thread focussed on twinBasic.

    So let me get this straight. Olaf makes an unnecessary attack on a very innocent suggestion peter made and because I called it out, I'm the bad guy? You know, some of you are really starting to rub me the wrong with with your lack of integrity. You know, even when I vehemently disagreed with you guys on some things, I always tried by best not to be disrespectful. I think .Net and everything that came after it is superior to VB6, yet every time I say it, all of you get up in your feelings, lash out and then claim I'm the bad guy. I'm getting real tired of being diplomatic about it. MY VIEWS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, MY OPINION OF YOU OR YOUR WORTH AS A HUMAN BEING. They are just tools and I have strong opinions that one is better than the other. Stop getting in your feelings over it.
