The GNOME Journal, September Edition

The fact is that there is a misinformation campaign being waged at least semi-intentionally by the mono community and mono fans. You (or anyone else) cannot refute what I'm saying however so I do my part to make sure to keep the dangers of mono high on the radar for gnome users whenever I can.

Is this beaten to death or pointless? I don't think so. The fact is that mono adoption is being strongly resisted. Developer and involved companies (like Redhat) mostly understand what a danger mono is so they are avoiding it. Users seem to be about 50% for/against mono. I think the reason so many people in the gnome user community don't like mono and are against it is *because* of posts like mine. Because they are being informed about the truth. That is not pointless. That is exactly why I post on mono.

It is not a dead horse issue because the issue of monos adoption remains. Once Novel extracts a legally binding promise from Microsoft that they will never charge a fee or require registration to use mono then it really will be a dead issue and I will shut up.

BTW, you are a serious jackass. You try to come off like I'm just whining but the reality is that *you* just hava a hard-on for mono and mono apps and you don't want to have access to that technology impeded by anything, even good sound analysis and advice. If repeated concerns on this subject annoy you it is because you don't want to hear the truth and you are not listening.

All objections to mono detractors from people like you have very little logical content. Why don't you, instead of just telling me to shut up, actually defend mono? ? ? ? ? You don't because you cannot. Miguel De Icasa and Novel have made a very big mistake and everyone knows it. Even you. Even though you don't want to admit it.
