Right...
Maybe this is just a language issue, but being childish doesn't have 
much to do with accepting reality. "A? You are the one who B!" doesn't 
make much sense in English. I wasn't saying you didn't accept reality, I 
was saying you were acting like a two year old throwing a hissy fit.

You are completely missing the point. If you have a complaint about 
Warp, you should first talk to him about it, and if that fails, talk to 
a member of the TAG or POV Team. Publicly flaming and slandering him the 
first time he replies to a message you post, regardless of what he said 
to you, is entirely the wrong way to handle it. *That* was the behavior 
I was calling childish, and it is simply unacceptable here.

It's apparently difficult to write in such a way that it is believable. 
In any case, this is an extremely minor thing...that was a "for your 
information" correction, not a reaction to a given offense.

You appeared to be knowledgeable about this language, and seemed to 
think it applied to POV-Ray somehow. Did you honestly expect not to get 
any questions about it? Especially when you were so vague about what the 
language could do and why it they should look at it? What is wrong with 
wanting to know more about it, or why you suggested it? Or with 
correcting a misconception about the type of thing that could help POV?
As others have said, if you didn't want it to be discussed, you 
shouldn't have posted it in a public discussion group.

You seem to be really stretching here. Warp has a single, minor dispute 
with someone who is known for such things, and you attack him without 
giving him any chance to defend himself? You are overreacting by far. 
Your own recent messages have been far worse than anything I've ever 
seen from Warp.
