Hi Greg

I reported you because you were trolling.

As you obviously don’t know what this is, it is about time you did. Here is the Urban Dictionary definition of trolling…

“Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent bystander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.”

And it gives this rather nice example…

Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence."
Other Guy: "I just found the most retarded thread in existence."

Actually what upset me was not only your stupid suggestion that my good idea be ignored but also your obnoxious comments on Joe Brinkman’s long and agonised apology in his blog for the fact that DotNetNuke 5.4.3 had been pulled, namely

“All I know is I'm glad I'm not Joe Brinkman.

“How did you get stuck writing all these "We F'd up again" posts? This is like the fifth or sixth one in 10 months or something. It's every other release - what a job! I did notice that they are getting longer.

“I vote that Shaun or Nik has to write the one for 5.4.5 - and Joe get's to write the announcement for the 5.4.6 fix release that comes out three days later. That way he get's to look like the hero once in awhile. Then you could have a lottery for who has to write it for the 5.4.7 release. Hey! I know - a custom DNN "dunk tank" type module where DNN community members get to pick who has to write the "We F'd up again" blog post for every other release!!”

Another Urban Dictionary definition of trolling is “the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet”. I can’t imagine the intent of your remarks to Joe, if not to purposefully antagonize.

What is remarkable is not that you’ve made 530+ unchallenged posts before, but that no one has called you out on it before. It is the moderator’s job. I should not have to do it.

The spirit of the Yala is all about making it safe to talk, that means being nice but not weak. If bullies, censors, trolls and flamers are not moderated, the quality of the dialogue will suffer.

I suppose I should thank you for nicely illustrating why this matters.

Kind regards

Geoffrey

 Might be, but all I see is a video.  And not even a product video, a concept video.  When Microsoft does this it's vapor ware.  But even Microsoft doesn't take ten years to put out an actual product.  The concept is interesting.  But until there is an actual, demonstrable, product, it's not anything I can get that excited about.  And, no, I'm not interested in a WebEx session to show me the concept, that type of thing died with PowerPoint presentations to venture capitalists.  About the same time development on this started.
