Subject[Cs-dev] Play Nice
Ok i went through the code i checked in today and Istvan messed around
with EVERYTHING i contributed, including one file where all he did was
DELETE A SPACE in a comment!

Istvan, do you have some kind of mental disorder or something, that  
makes
you muddle around in every trivial detail?   Or do you think i am  
inferior and
you have to double-check everything i submit, making sure i dotted every
'i' and crossed every 't'?  Or are you trying to keep your claim of  
ownership over
the code? Or do you have something personal against me? or what?

Some of
your changes i think are under some wrong assumptions and should not
have been made [**]    But more importantly, it is incredibly  
frustrating
to see code i recently worked on be totally rearranged -- and i don't  
know
about others, but this REALLY pisses me off!  Regardless of how much  
you think
you are improving it, you are really being disrespectful to me and  
the little
contribution i have to the code base. This just is not how you treat  
other
people trying to collaborate with you!


** i restored my code from this morning for invalue/outvalue, you  
went way over
the line with your changes!!!

and i really think those "early return" messages should NOT be displayed
on ANY platform -- they look like an error but there should be  
nothing wrong
with that  at least when csoundYield returns false as a "please stop  
now" request.
users are going to ask why that message is printing every time they  
stop a
render.

i think there was more issues too but i already wasted my little free  
time i have
dealing with this crap instead of writing code and now have to call  
it a night.

This is very obviously, a communication breakdown. In the vast
majority of communication breakdowns, both sides are at fault
for not communicating.

Scripts like this are a good idea, but everyone should be aware of
their existance and everyone should be strongly encouraged to use
them.

So Matt, Istvan, you both need to work on communicating and
and stop the public temper tantrums.

Cheers,
Erik

this list was unfortunately down during all this and that post
was sent 2 days ago. before i started the other communication
with you directly [ most of which was cc'd to this list ]
sorry i should have warned you more was coming.

i think we have since come to an understanding.  but again
all i am asking is a little courtesy working with others -- even
if they write crappier code than you -- this is a collaborative
effort, right?

i thought it might be the case, but in the heat of the moment it just  
contributed to my reaction -- seeing every single file i checked in  
re-touched by you.

the more useless messages moved to 'verbose', the more the better imo

well i am calling performbuffer() inside different thread that handles
the user interaction.
