Gratuituous insults are all very well among friends.
Is it only me.
Do other peolpe on this forum believe that calling me
. controlling,
. passive-agressive,
. in need of a psychiatrist (by implication),
. bossy,
is fair comment.
I did not in any way insult him.
Someone comes along and uses that project to not only
make a profit for themselves (OK) but make their product
closed source (dodgy) and protected (even more dodgy).
Closed source and protected is dodgy? How so?
Euphoric gave advice how to do this with no recognition that
the request was in any way out of order.
In what way could it be construed as out of order?
You have a seemingly strong desire to control/police others. That can't be healthy.
IANAP. YMMV.
IANAP: I am not a psychiatrist.
I am not trying to control people.
Actually, yes you are, in a passive-aggressive way.
Regardless, you are not the Euphoria police. If you have an issue with a Q&A, state it plainly.
But to come at me like my daddy or boss is a little overzealous, IMHO.

I like to think we're all adults here, and as such, we should be capable of having civilized discussions without insulting each other and/or taking things too personally.

It was insulting for you to talk down to me like I'm your child, or to assume the stance of a policeman in this community.
However, I apologize for offending you with my subsequent posts if they were a bit strong.
Let's be friends, shall we?!

Yes, I'm afraid I got a similar impression. Well, the attempt to control and be passive aggressive, anyways. I guess part of my reaction was someone being offended on my behalf (i.e., someone making money off of the time and effort I've put into euphoria), which is a bit of a pet peeve, I suppose.
The original tone seemed to go beyond stating an opinion, and drifted into being a lecture.
I don't hold grudges, though, and try to treat each discussion separately. Honestly, I'm more interested in discussing and debating ideas than getting into personal arguments.
