This. People on the internet are insane. I have gotten
literal death threats for refusing to sell keyboards. People threatening to find my home
address and do things about my ?hoarding?. I should never have said a goddamn word on the
internet. I regret ever releasing anything open source. For every one person who wants to
contribute there are a dozen who just want to complain - or worse.
I want to do my part in turning the tide and say that I have a serious degree of
appreciation for all the stuff that you?ve personally done for Lisp Machine preservation.
Meroko and LambdaDelta are OUTSTANDING work and are a major contribution to the field.
(Also, the way Meroko simulates every individual bus cycle is really something!)
I?m so very tired of being screamed at. I almost want
to just dump it all and walk away. This is not what I signed up for.
I hope the people who scream at you are the ones who walk away instead. They don?t deserve
you or your awesome work.
