That's the version you told us was not freeware in August of 2006.

If you mean that it wasn't being offered as freeware by the developer that soon after you posted your misinformation about it, you're wrong wrong wrong again. Their website offered it for free well into 2007, closer to a year after your erroneous pronouncements that it wasn't freeware. I'm sorry this upsets you so much, but the facts aren't going to change to fit the lies you've told over the years about this, no matter how many Department of Defense documents are leaked.

Non sequitur -- even you admit that this has nothing to do with that. But in response to your non sequitur: You were too blinded by white-hot rage to pay attention to what happened with PowerDesk after you posted your misinformation about it and were corrected? > The 'hissy fit' as you call it has very little to do with that > program going payware. It has a lot more to do with the imaginary cult which has been trying to control you ever since you discovered a CompuServe Usenet Intertube Web-BBS. > And yes, I will speak out against it. You and a thousand posts through the remailers can't be wrong.

Good point, Bottoms. > When the links to the program started disappearing from > freeware sites, and the new link to the freeware program on the > developers site was Free Trial...not much skill is needed there. And still you got the question on the table wrong, even after it had already been answered earlier in the thread -- PowerDesk was freeware at that time, and you said it wasn't. Then your screaming about what an innocent wounded child you are started. > >> You can still get the last freeware version 6.013 from the > >> archives of a few sites still hosting it. > > > > That's the version you told us was not freeware in August of 2006. > > I'm glad you've recognized at least that part of your error. > > Disingenuous as normal.

You think that was a mistake? The URL of to the evidence you say will back your fantasies up included the words "Afghan" and "War" and "Diary". Do you think that was a mistake? > >> But it is no longer being developed as of around September of 2006 > > > > You didn't claim that it wasn't being developed. > > It wasn't known at that time silly.

That's much better than your earlier "recollection" that it was only a few weeks, but still irrelevant. > But thank you for disingenouously agreeing that the program went > payware as I was predicting. I'm not aware of any predictions you made about the freeware; you only said it wasn't freeware -- than you for confirming that you were wrong about that several times in the thread. But you've known that since before the first post which told you you were wrong wrong wrong. > > I'm sorry this upsets you so much, but the facts aren't going to > > change to fit the lies you've told over the years about this, no > > matter how many Department of Defense documents are leaked. > > You seem to think this upsets me which it doesn't. You've been alternately whining pitifully about it and screaming about it for almost four years now, and you've announced countless wars and initiatives about it, and you've constructed an entire imaginary cult based on it. During some of that, I admit I got the impression that it upset you. |
