dgnadt, you seem to forget the point, that Drummaster is not nativley speaking englsih (he´s french). And personally (as beeing German, non native english) i can say, that its hard for me too, to find the right words. Maybe drummaster said "useless", but that doesn´t mean he wnated to say this. Thats just a fact that i wnat you to remember, since i noticed many french guys around here (this isn´t meant offensive)seem tho have problems with english, even more that most of the germans do (probably because of the law that prohibits the use of englsih words in public language). Just because you speak perfectly english, doesnt mean everyone alse does.
PS: im not saying you´re stupid or something, just that you need to know the "facts" :rolleyes:

Horscht,
I am aware that English is not his Native language. I'm also aware that this can lead to things being taken incorrectly. Your points are noted but there are two reasons that I am inclined to reject them.
1. From reading the many posts of Drumaster it's pretty obvious that he has a rather strong use and understanding of the English language. I suspect that he knew he was being offensive.
2. Once it was pointed out that what he had said was offensive and inflammatory he made no attempt to apologize or correct the matter in any way.
If it were to be pointed out to me that I had offended someone due to mistake in translation then I would correct my mistake as quickly as possible. Drumaster does not do this, in fact he criticizes Nano for their “words.” If we are to be forgiving to Drumaster for a possible breakdown in translation, then shouldn’t he be as forgiving of someone else on what may also be a misunderstanding because of a language barrier?
Let’s look at a few quotes by Drumaster:
“Sorry but Aquafish already did that guyz...”
----Not a terribly offensive statement but it surely implies something don’t you think.
“So GPBIOS USELESS”
----Is it not offensive in any language to say that the work someone else has done is useless?
“All your bios can do, Aqua bios can do it in a easier way (I know that 'cause I use it in a multiple way)”
----This is a matter of opinion and not in fact. I found Gpbios to be easier to use for my purposes than that of Aqua’s bios.
“It's no use to congratulate a release if it already exists, don't you think Mad?”
----I think you can see a pattern at this point that Drumaster has a personal problem with Nano. Any new release for the GP32 deserves some kind of congratulations.
“Excuse me but your arguments are those of a man who didn't check his words.”
----Here he says that Nano needs to check his words....well, if he can make that statement about someone else then the same can be said for Drumaster.
“Thanx for your attention, I hope you finally understood my feelings, because in ANY WAY I would critisize the Nano work but their WORDS.”
----He does criticize their work (it’s quite clear) and now he’s going to be critical of their “words” yet we are suppose to excuse his “words” because he is not a native speaker of the English language? Does this not sound a bit hypocritical?
“dgnadt please stop saying rubbish...”
----Rather than answer my points he dismisses them. He could have taken this opportunity to apologize to Nano for being offensive but he didn’t. It was pointed out to him that what he was saying was being taken offensive by an English speaking person, but instead he dismisses it and says to stop saying rubbish.
Sorry, but Drumaster has no excuse. He is just being over critical and rude to the Nano Team.
