Your negative attitude keeps others from contributing and joining.
Is a joke, isn't it?
No, John is serious. Aurel's trolling and personal attacks have been a major turn off for several of us and have kept several of us from joining the forums. He has made several personal attacks against me on these forums, including calling me a dickhead and a lunatic. On most forums this would be grounds for a permanent ban, but here if there are rules, they evidently do not apply to Aurel as he continues to get away with his behavior. Which goes back to what John said about Aurel's behavior keeping people from joining and contributing. His behavior needs to stop, one way or another.
The work John and Charles have done on C BASIC has finally brought me here and I do not plan on leaving, but I will not tolerate any abuse from Aurel.
