Part of the problem is the use of the Keil /ARM trade mark on his web
site.

Neither was there anything wrong with people (quite objectively, at
least initially) replying to that post pointing out that fact that it is
SPAM, and criticism of the offered code's quality.

What has fuelled this thread since is Murry flying completely off the
handle in reaction to that. From that point on, it's been classic
escalation.

No. For starters, that's not what he claims he tries to be. He claims
he tries to be a philanthropist; a benefactor. But several people here,
me included, judged that to be a white lie. What he describes as a
"benevolent offering to the community", we perceived as a failed attempt
to disguise a commercial venture as something else.

Chris,

I can assure you that I am on very solid ground with all 3 companies
whose products I link to, promote or feature on my website, Chris. The
Internet is a very public place, and you won't get away with
underhanded stuff for very long. If you still have a problem, then by
all means take it up with Mum.

Regards,
Murray R. Van Luyn.

I don't know where that "here" of yours is, but FWIW I saw none of those
posts. Looks like some USENET service provide do a better of job of
sanitizing content than others. You might want to change.

> I have no difficulty identifying those posts as spam.

They obviously are. But there's a difference. Those are bona-fide
scumbags with no intent to be taken seriously --- or to ever read
responses to their posts, for that matter. Replying to those posts is
completely pointless.

Murray, OTOH, reads and writes here on at least an irregular basis, so
there's a remote chance he can be taught better.

Hi Didi,

Please allow me to resist Hans' efforts to deceive you.

Hans feels that criticism of unseen code is legitimate, and rejects my
right to ask for those uninformed critic's qualifications. He claims
that I could not know who has, and who has not seen my code. PayPal
send me a detailed transaction notification each time a valued
customer contributes a small sum to my distribution costs. I am quite
able to identify those that 'expertly' claim the code is bad, yet who
have never had any of my code in their possession.

Hans vilifies me as a self-promoting saviour to all embedded-kind. I
have merely countered his fallacious assumption that I am a profit
seeker, by informing him otherwise. He arrogantly states that I have
adopted a 'holier than thou' approach. In relation to Hans' position
as a negativistic, 'drag-em-down' non-contributor to the communities
cause, this may be a true reflection of my standing.

Numerous detractors, including Hans, have maliciously misrepresented
me, by stating that I have either used a fallacious return e-mail
address in my postings, or that I have attempted to conceal my name.
It seems to have escaped each of them that I have signed each and
every posting in this thread, with the same contraction of my full
legal name, as is also featured on my website. It also seems to have
escaped these deceitful detractors, that the return email address
associated with each newsgroup posting is the same as that on my
website. Not one of them has thought to try the e-mail address to see
whether they were telling the truth, or not.

Yes, anger is blind. Those that are so readily offended by what they
mistakenly regard as being spam, and who act out of sightless negative
instincts, truly do the most harm in this world.

Regards,
Murray R. Van Luyn.


....and again for those sentimentally non-sighted individuals.

Regards,
Murray R. Van Luyn.
