[And now I have to go figure out how to split all this OT stuff out of this thread. ::sigh::]
Is discussing shipping timelines and company communications of custom hardware vendors really OT?
Me defending my integrity is, I think.
Ask yourself why you feel your integrity is under attack.
There is more-than-likely a legitimate reason you should feel an unhealthy sting of hypocrisy.
With respect, all I'm hearing from you, gmaxwell, is excuses for shirking your responsibilities to be good and trustworthy stewards of this community.
As it stands right now, a certain advertiser calling this place a "sewer" is not far off base, and there seems to be little desire for our absentee-landlord to spray some Fabreeze around here or clean the place up.
The fact that Theymos is ok with advertisers being openly antagonistic to this platform, while exploiting it at our expense, speaks to a cancerous and morally-bereft pathology.
