Look, you are taking things way too personally. The way in which I've "bashed" your effort is only against your idea and the time spent on developing something utterly useless. I don't know you as an individual, I don't know your background or anything else - but this is exactly why every argument I've made was based on sound logic and only aimed against this specific thing that you've made. I didn't start bashing your family or saying you should be banned or your whole thread deleted.
You've just done something stupid and useless, as everyone will at some point in their life, I know I have. But instead of actually reading what I wrote (and it prolly is the best suggestion for a "telemetry application" for now), you've just skipped over the whole thing and continued to hold to your own story like a drunk person holds a handrail. You cannot call this application "telemetry", it has nothing to do with telemetry. You say to boothy "if u agree with scipy - ok, but we should remove all his posts and his access to this thread". Why? Just because you feel ur effort is threatened by my "radical" ideas of maybe having something actually usefull?
Stop using double standards. You cant say criticism is welcome and then pick in which format you're gonna get it. My first post was a heat of the moment reaction because I literally COULD NOT BELIEVE someone would spend time making this sort of an application _AGAIN_. There's loads of virtual dashboards and server side trackers/lappers, so for anyone to spend time making something 97 % the same with other 3 % being again completley useless features, was completley beyond me. As for the stupidity comment, other than making you feel bad, what's wrong with it? I did not say anything untrue, this was a stupid thing to do, you did it - deal with it.
When jasonmatthews asked what I think would be good additions and his F9-F12 idea - I posted a solution for both. U've obviously skipped over that too, at least I've read your whole posts before passing any kind of comment.
Instead of going on and on how this is only a "early version" of your "telemetry" application and how you're gonna remove some silly features and add some questionable ones, why don't you opt for a different approach and abanndon this whole project. You could actually help the community and all the endurance teams if you made an actual telemetry application. My programming skills are limited to highschool C++ and that only enables me to make MSDOS based applications, like the one for calculating average laps over a stint while ignoring in/outlaps. Your whole argument "why don't you do a better job instead" is an argument fallacy, if you have the skillset necessary - why don't YOU do a better job than you did.
And as for the "me being a forum troll and hanging around too much" argument, I don't think 250 posts in more than 3 years supports your argument (neither does 240k km driven online). So, please stop trying to argue your point simply because it's only YOUR point and generally wrong, and instead try and make something useful.
This post reaches the limit of the time I'm willing to spend trying to re-educate you, so I guess only thing left to say is.. good luck.
