BIND vs DNS Commander

[Brooklyn Linux Solutions CEO]

It's worse than that.

The people he does get to use his software find themselves defensive
becauuse in the
wake of Dan's Software Nazi behavior, even those who inocently pick up his
software
for the first time find themselves amist an unecessary flame war.  thus,
they learn 
to be just as Nazi like in there discussion of DJB Naziwares as DJB.

The end result is an internet full of uncooperative, hyper-sensitive,
neurotic 
technocrats running around the internet wrecking havoc on the net because
DJB is
such a prick.

Here is the bottom line - Dan's Softwre is, evwen when compliant,
completely
inflexable.  His refusal to put his work under decent open sourced
licensing makes it
a threat to the intgrety of the internet. 

His software should be avoided at all cost and the best thing BIND can do
is to enter
a line of code rejecting any interaction with any DJB software until such
time as Dan
sees the GPL (or some other Open Sourse license) light.

Replacing open sourced systems with Naziware is ALWAYS bad.

	The facts and your behaviour speak for themselves.  Anyone can 
hit the search engines and web archives to get copious examples of 
your defining bugs to be nonexistent, and defining your software to 
be standards-compliant just because you say so.

	Typical behaviour for you is to go thermo-nuclear on someone the 
moment they point out flaws in your logic, your code, or your 
behaviour.  I've witnessed this time after time again, and I have to 
believe that you finally got tired of being the worlds biggest 
net.pariah in the SMTP/Internet e-mail community, which explains why 
you have since decided to assault the DNS/BIND community -- we're 
generally much easier to get along with, there are far fewer people 
over here who know about your history, and therefore you can get away 
with a lot more than you used to be able to.


	Methinks thou doth protest too much.

	Frankly Dan, even if you had an actual valid point (which is 
highly unlikely), your own pathologically negative behaviour so 
overshadows anything technical you might have to say, that it is 
pointless for you to open your mouth or fire up your fingers.

	I hate to give constructive criticism to someone such as yourself 
(you haven't earned it), but if you were to come down by about a 
duodecillion decibels and disengage your Rogets Thesaurus of Slander, 
Libel, Aspersion, Defamation, and Haranguing with the Frivolous and 
Deceitful Counterclaims appendix, you might actually get people to 
pay attention to you.


	All that said, this mailing list is primarily intended for the 
discussion of BIND and things related to BIND, and is not intended to 
be used as a platform for you to proselytize.
