Seeing as how I haven't left the forums and deleted all my posts, my reaction and Boris' are not really comparable. If he had appeared later in the thread, or somewhere else on the forum, and rebutted the questions about his integrity rather than simply taking his ball and going home, I never would have made that remark.
Given the usual reaction of "Team Positivity" to any criticism of Entourage, as evidenced by the first couple of responses to jcase's initial comment in "that" thread, that side show was inevitable once jcase did what was necessary to get Entourage to play ball and live up to their GPL obligations. The pro-Entourage side of that thread dished out quite a bit in the way of personal attacks themselves, yet oddly none of the "can't we all just get along" moralizing since then seems to be directed at them; rather it predictably follows any criticism of Entourage or impatience with their failure to meet their obligations.
I'm sure you mean well, so here's a hint for the future: insinuating that other commenters are immature and need your guidance in how to behave isn't going to prevent escalation. Like the beloved (by people who aren't me) New Forum Rules say, treat others as you would like to be treated.
