Which led to you deleteing hunks of it,
Just the socket related code, since it didn't work (at all) on Linux/GNU.
I can't help it that Euphoria code did not work on Linux. It's odd you did have it connecting before you deleted any of it.
That statement is false. I only had it connecting after I had deleted the old sockets related code and replaced it with new ones. The deletions thus occurred before it was connecting for me.
and then complaining that my code didn't work right.
That came much later, when I discovered that, although the code could connect to sorcery fine, it got stuck in an infinite loop when connecting to freenode.
You told me you hated mirc on windows,
This is true, but what of it?
you thought i copied mirc code,
I did not literally think that you copied code from the source of the mIRC client into eubot.
I did not think that you copied code from a mirc source script and used it directly in eubot, unmodified.
I did think that your Euphoria code in eubot was inspired by a mirc script coding style, but I had no objection to that. Neither did I harbor any dislike from that belief.
I'm fine with a mirc coding style, as long as the code runs natively on Linux/GNU. (I believe that robsz1 had objections to it, but this was roughly a decade ago and I may have misunderstood what he originally said from my hazy recollection of it.)
and didn't understand what i had done,
I didn't understand how the sockets code worked with multiserver support. Your out-of-date comments in the source said it was broken (and then fixed and then broken again), and since none of the socket related code worked for me anyways, I did not understand that this was actually functional again.
and deleted anything you didn't understand or that looked like mirc's on_events.
1) Your misleading source code comments led to my misunderstanding. If your source had accurate comments, or none at all, I probably would have understood.
2) I did not delete it because I did not understand it. I deleted it because it did not work for me.
3) I did not delete the on_events stuff. I kept all of it.
I pretty much totally gave up at that point.
Hard to see how that makes sense, considering that you claimed I appeared on the scene only as bot development was dying down... thus, you claim that I caused you to give up, but that I also did not appear until after you had already given up.
I claimed that?
Yes.
