This is a commentary by a co-founder of Code Monkey Mynex on the subject of yet more delays within their forum topic. Believe it or not, this is the co-owner of a business who has been advertizing this non-existent product since 2004. Perhaps other people have been less than generous in their comments, but I saw nothing in any of the comments that stated CMP was incompetent or that these delays were mucking up their games. Bare in mind that the strongest language used is quoted by Mynex in his reply...

Just to get this out up front, the use of You/Yours are a generic 'everyone you' and not
specifically bjreynen, his post just comes up convienently to address some comments
that have been repeatedly stated by a few people.
This post is meant to address those 'few' people, so yes, that does include bjreynen, but
just him alone.

Finally, I think you're missing the point of my posts... First, I'm venting frustration as a paying
customer at yet another delay. I think after waiting more than two years I'm entitled.

Sure you are, no is saying you're not. No one has a problem with that. We voice our own
irritation/frustration about his fact from time to time.

Second, I'm trying to help Code Monkey understand the basics of managing deadlines and
expectations.
_THIS_ is the offensive comment/attitude that a number of people have had/taken that
is ticking off so many, including us owners.
1. We understand it very well.
2. Who the hell do you think you are to think you have the right, the skill, and the
cojones to 'teach' us anything? If we asked for 'teachers' that'd be different.
This point isn't up for discussion any further. Too many people are assuming that we're
incompetent or don't give a monkey's butt about things, so they think that it's their god
given right to educate us.
No, it's not. So don't.
Vent all you like, don't get arrogant and assume you have _ANY_ right to 'teach' CMP
anything.

This isn't about coding anymore, its about maintaining credibility.
*sigh* Maybe to you, maybe to 100 people, maybe to 1000 people.

Guess what? That's not your call, it's ours. To us, it's about the coding, period.
The coding is going to be right, and damn deadlines, damn the calander, and damn
anyone who doesn't like that.

If you haven't bought the pre-order for RPGF, then you honestly don't have excuse one
to open your mouth and bitch about how long we're taking, or that we've missed
deadlines, or that we're costing you money, or we're mucking up your game because it's
not out yet.

The last two REALLY piss me off personally. If you haven't bought the pre-order, flat out,
shut the hell up. You have no right, none whatsoever, to even begin bitching about
lateness, you have nothing, _ZERO_ invested in RPGF in any capacity.
And if before you come back with "Ah, but I bought data sets for use with RPGF because
you said you were going to do a convertor" - Yes, we are going to do a converter,
however, that does not change the fact that both e-tools and pcgen data sets are usable
now, so you can get use out of your existing purchases. If you choose not to, that's your
problem.

"Mucking up your game" - I'm not even going into this beyond this statement: "If we're
mucking up your game with a software that's not even out yet, you have far more
pressnig concerns that gaming, like getting a grip on reality."
I could go on for a quite a while longer, but I have better things to do, like maybe work
on RPGF eh?
