That is extremely dissapointing to hear. It's submissive attitudes like that, which allows RapidEuphoria to continue with their deceptive tactics of 'waiting out the storm'. That's dispicable, on both the part of Robert and on the part of people who I would normally consider better than that. It's not a wonder that Robert Craig never listens to his patrons. Why should he? All he has to do, is keep quiet for a while, and you guys give up. Pathetic. You know, he never did respond to the include statement issue just as I said, other than to basically say it's not going to be fixed. You think that is acceptible?!? And you are looking forward to giving him MORE money so you can further enforce his behaviour of complete and utter disregard? Shame on all of you! It's no wonder I'm so hostile on here. I refuse to accept his behaviour, and you guys are just as ignorant as he is. You know the problems exist, yet you refuse to admit that they are there. I commend you Derek for your efforts with the contest, and general community support. But of all people, you know the issues better than I do, and set an example for most everyone in the euphoria community. You should be more assertive of your opinions. I'm sure you realize that your ignorance perpetuates the problems of euphoria onto not only existing Euphoria users, but all prospective users as well. You should also realize that silence is perceived as satisfaction. It's pretty hard to deny that significant issues exist with Euphoria, and are NOT BEING ADDRESSED. You would rather sweep it under the rug, and let Robert get away with it! I will continue fighting tooth and nail, because I feel we are being BETRAYED by Rapid Deployment Software. I remember how many years I have spent learning euphoria, only to be extremely dissapointed with RDS. The very least I can do with my experience, is make sure others, especially new users, know of the problems with euphoria. For what reason does Robert Craig have, to improve Euporia, other than to milk more money from us? He certainly doesn't have to address the problems. The Euphoria community demonstrates extreme lethargy, and furthermore even promotes Rob's behaviour! How can you make him accountable, if you won't express your opinions? How can you justify deceiving new and existing Euphoria users who are legitamately unaware of Euphoria's issues, by being silent? I consider that kind of silence to be anti-productive and even selfish. I'm more dissapointed with the lack of activism within the community than I am with Rob. Particularly knowledgable people like Phil, and Derek, who certainly know of Euphoria's, and more specifically, RDS's failings. I am at the point, where I feel it would be better if Euphoria just ceased development and withered quickly, instead of the slow and tortuous lack of progress which is inevitably going to end in tragedy anyways. I refuse to give up, if not for my benefit, then for the benefit of others, and the fate of Euphoria. Chris Bensler Code is Alchemy
