How to cook Mr Popatoe Process?

Hi guys

we have practically two solutions to cook a troll:
        - either I remove his email address from the list (2 min)
        a bit rude and unfriendly but this is a troll after all ;)

        - or we all create a nice rule: as Read

I suggest you all to do 2 and keep you good energy for helping and not
arguing endless with Mr Potatoe Process.

Did you count the amount of time we all spent already on that?

Have fun.

This won't solve Pharo's serious problems, neither from usability point of view, nor from stability point of view, nor from marketing point of view.

Ask professionals, usability tester for help, if you are not able to see Pharos problems. Even the "1-klick Image" is not such one. See EToys installer, works fine under Windows, Ubuntu Linux even with packet manager.

Stability - where? Stress testing - does not happen, you take users, developers as testers, a absolute no-go!

Usability ... Gofer ... Pharo claims to be a RAD tool and users still have a shell???

Squeak had hundred of nice "apps" to play with, makes it interesting, pupils/students being inspired. Pharo - everything removed. Matured, but uninteresting now.

You are driven by wishes, how Pharo should be, not by seeing reality.

tnx 4 understanding,

Unfortunately, this may not solve the problem unless we play the game of
"Whack a Troll". We would have to delete his email address every time he
creates a new one.

I think ultimately we as a community need to simply learn not to feed
the trolls. When they are trolling, ignore them. If he actually provides
something usefully such as a bug report with reproducible actions, or a
patch, an appropriate approved actionable suggestion. Then we can treat
those emails with the respect due such emails.

But if he simply continues to Parrot the same old thing. Plonk!  Ignore.

I would say be Zen like as Noury puts it . . Who knows in the next one year you can see such likes as biggest votaries of Pharo, for I am sure it will achieve a lot more than he expects today to see.
