Free Flight, Free Speech

Having been asked to clarify his position, Josh is taking quite a beating from multiple sources which results in it looking like one against the many.

I'd like to remind Josh, that this isn't the case it only looks it and that there are a lot of disgruntled content developer past and present reading that thread with a clear understanding of how your decision and subsequent treatment rings a bell with them.

In the past I've accused Josh of being treated special by the powerful ones and their cronies over on the FG forum... That isn't the case now.

I respect Josh's descions, not because it aligns with mine. But because he's done a hell of a lot of work for FG, chosen to leave on his own terms, explained those reasons having been asked and now rather than being thanked is being pilloried.

A lesson to learn here, you're only a respected member of the community as long as you're following the party line...

An ex developer is an enemy.

Quite a flamefeast.

Also, I really wish you all would stop assuming that I am "thinking about the current actions of others" as that's really a big pile of crap. I make my decisions based on my own thoughts, thank you.

- Thorsten
So he tells us in plain words that we should not assume things about 'actions of others' and that he makes his own decisions. What problem exactly do you have with that?

A superb piece of misdirection.... First accuse Josh of being manipulated by others. Get him to deny this and it gives you freedom to spend the next 5 pages belittling him till he leaves in a huff. And you're then able to quote his original statement out of context to plead your innocence in having influenced him......

Very rare would I give Thorsten credit, but this is an act of sheer malicious genius.

Yeah, but honestly, they are pulling more or less the same procedure all the time.
This only works because Thorsten is surrounded by yes-sayers and people who use the same rhetorical methods to discredit and humiliate people.

If there would be say like 5 or 6 people like me or this xndr (that one other person who tries to help Octal a bit) then this would already look a bit different.
But before that, they start to censor or ban.

In Thorsten I seen no genius, he is just toxic by nature. I know some people in RL who can do similar things to people and they are otherwise not very clever. I tend to believe that he was not loved enough and acknowledged by his father. He fled far away to Finland and might not even be aware that he himself is now repeating the pattern of his father. Just a wild theory, we will never find out the true background

Do you really believe what you write? I always wondered that.

Oh man, I don't believe it: You wasted even more time on me
Don't do that
