Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 19:18:14 +0100 Hi, just to let the list know that the 3 of us have chatted off-list, and sorted the spat out. We all recognised that we went a bit over the top, sorry to the rest of you. Rob (rinty), BC, and Cristian. -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se]On Behalf Of Cristian Sent: 22 June 2004 18:17 To: Rockbox development Subject: OT: don't like to argue,Blind, Bluechip, sterile debate, an apology and a recognition to the group. rob wrote: >Hey Hey hang on folks, I did actually write an apology before BC wrote >his second message.

You continued: >I really don't need to be chastised by Christian. Didn't want to, just wanted to criticize what I perceived a bit as a wrong expression, just wanted to say I appreciate the job of everyone. Perhaps I was slightly mislead by Bluechip's reaction, sorry if that was the case. >Christian I wouldn't want to patronise you as you have done to me, but >please don't presume to apologise on my behalf, especially when I've >already done so publicly. Gratitude is commendable, but telling other >blind people that they ought to grovel is frankly offensive. People >have lost teeth for less!, smile. Your comment about blind people not >being programmers is offensive, as many are, and wrong. Sorry again, but I just felt appropriate not to share a view, I didn't ask you to grovel, and, I don't think my reference to Aman and others was offensive, I just wanted to acknowledge that most of the work was done by sighted people like Joerg, that could easily do without the vocal interface, and I personally think, that expressing gratutude doesn't have nothing to do with grovel or crawl. Sorry if other blind perceived it as patronizing, I didn't mean to judge the technical skills of each of us, not even yours. >I want to end by saying, that I for one value the effort and time >given both in developing the software and in helping people that the >development team and others have given, very much value the list, and >have and intend to continue to try to contribute as much as possible >to helping others both publicly and privately. I will think more >about how I word things, but I've struggled to keep my message to >Christian printable. well, totally agree, I'll do the same, and thanks for "struggling" as you wrote, But I dont think my message was so offensive.
