Or that it was a phishing attack. That, according to what I've read, is regarded as the most likely source of logon credentials.

American (and other) solders died to protect our land of the free. They died to protect our individual rights, including the right to own the private property of our choice.

Classic PR tactic, quote out of context and invoke dead soldiers. Seriously, are you real human being or corporate bot?

Bremen Cole · 07-30-2010, 11:19 AM

Wow Kovid, I really expected more..... sigh....

That is really rude and dismissive. My post was in good faith, and instead of answering, you mock. There is no anger here my friend, only disappointment. I have no idea why you have to mock and attack, but it is not appreciated. The fact that you are a computer programmer does not IMO give you free reign to be a jerk. The two post you did above are sad....just sad....

kovidgoyal · 07-30-2010, 11:21 AM

No your posts were not in good faith, they are blatant and transparent attempts to use emotion to try to cloud an issue.

Alexander Turcic · 07-30-2010, 11:22 AM

Ok enough please. No more baiting and no more name calling ("jerk" no really?). If we cannot behave I am afraid this thread will come to a quick close.

Thank you.

Wow if you are going to quote somebody, have the decency and courtesy to read the conversation and keep the quotes in context. Anything else is just dishonest and malicious.

I do not feel that just because someone is a computer programmer, they have the right to be rude, condescending, and intolerant. Unlike Kovid I do not call people names and mock them. Post #88 is the post he became so hateful to me about, and I was not in any way rude to him. If someone thinks so then they must be reading some other posts…. This is my last post on the subject but want to try to get something positive out of it.

BUT!!!!

Instead of wasting your time flaming me (and the hateful PM’s) and anyone else who dares to challenge Kovids attitude, why not do something positive?

Calibre is “donation ware” software. When I used it, I thought it was worth paying for. Do you? I for one think Kovid is a big boy, and can take care of himself on this little forum. If you REALLY want to show support for Kovid then DONATE. Think of it as the old carnival dunking booth. When you hit the donate button you are dunking me! Ha, ha…take that Bremen! Do something positive, instead of hateful and pointless posting……

Here is the link to donate for your use of Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ Top right is the donate button!!!
Do it now!

Enough is enough. If you cannot have a polite conversation, there will be no conversation at all.
