Why would there be any special arguing over network libraries compared to everything else that can be (and has been) done? (and no, my question does not prove your point, as I'm arguing about arguing. So it's a meta argument.)
I wasn't saying arguing over anything in network libraries is different.
My pov is that just this year i have downloaded over 5 million files the way i argued was ok, with no problems, and i was the bad one and my code wasn't acceptable. I was <spit> spoofing</spit> and evil. But look in the network code released with Eu4, in http.e, and Eu reports it is Internet Explorer(tm) by default!
And along with that, the passive "someone asked you be banned" from irc channel #Euphoria, because my isp disconnects me if there's any lightning in the area. So don't ask me for upgrading irc.e to Eu4 when i am not even allowed to use the Eu irc channel. Despite it working great for many years, i'm sure the irc code is disgusting and evil and will get me banned from somewhere else if i submit it.
Ditto translating the mirc code to email.e, or mud/mush.e, i don't need the arguing. I feel the entire eu dev community flipped a loaded coin and came down against me on http.e: no don't spoof the referer, but let's spoof the user-agent!
useless, by popular request.
