Vincenzo,

you have forgotten to mention one thing to "all the readers":

The guys who create Command have banned you and Herman many years ago. Just as you both are banned from Harpgamer (as Tony posted in this same thread). Just as Herman is banned from Matrix Games, this place here, for years now.

They don't like what I say. It's their forum, their decision, their responsibility.

And you think those Command guys who threw you out are waiting for Herman and you reappeare and to "mod" their game?

It's my understanding that the Command designers don't want mods at all, so this is moot.

To keep it civil: You have used words like "suckers", "leftovers" etc. No one else in this thread.

I'll inform the family to ban both straws and leftovers from our dinners.

And there is agreement regarding the central point: many guys are still Playing Harpoon and enjoying it, despite its bugs. There are separate groups, why not. All can focus on their scenarios, databases and simply playing without bashing other ones. So why not simply do this? I thought there was a cease-fire, for months now.

Agreed?

You have to bring this issue to something else. I don't like to be lied about, exp. when the answers (with proofs) were already given. However, that someone wants for a circle to become a square and thinks that saying "square" over and over will do, it is something out of my control. I agree, of course, that after a while hearing always the same tired lies becomes boring.

Or do we disagree even about this one? I think we all are educated adults and life is short.

I disagree on the first statement, but I agree on the second: life, indeed, is short. I can only add that for some, alas, it is also narrow.

Very good. I think we all can live with that.

Have a nice Sunday.

Your understanding is wrong. Command in fact offers a greater ability and diversity of custom mods than any of the Harpoon versions. We have explained the various options repeatedly on public posts & interviews.

Thanks [:)]

Vincenzo,

I wish this subject had not been re-opened, even if only through non-specific comments. However, I also wish that the inevitable response from you had stayed within the forum policy we long ago posted and will enforce.

What sadly happened were petty conflicts, "I'll take my ball and go home", etc. Who, sadly, poisoned the Harpoon scene making it less friendly than others. Add some suckers who "fell" for "side A" or "side B" without evening knowing the facts (they choose to believe what they liked more) and - as it happens with the last converted - they became among the first Prophet Against Evil.

Characterizing the community and the other parties involved in this fashion once again crosses the line on personal insults and non-constructive posts that I've explained to you many times. If you want to post constructively, great. Otherwise, no thanks. Since this is not the first time you've crossed this line and you seem determined to keep at it, we're back to the forum ban.

You've got a one month ban. At the end of that month, feel free to contact me at erikr@matrixgames.com and we'll discuss the forum rules and your return to the forum.

Thread locked.

Regards,
