Basic / Re: What flavors of basic?

« on: October 03, 2007, 02:14 PM »

I have made another blog entry http://michaelwhitt.com/blog/?p=127 talking about why I think Visual Basic Express is better for a beginning or low budget developer over Emergence Basic.   This is the first part in a series that I am going to do comparing my thoughts on Visual Basic Express vs. Emergence Basic.   I may do other ones on Purebasic, LibertyBasic and such but my first few entries will be comparing VB Express with Emergence Basic.

Well looks like Paul doesn't respect a paying customer's opinion as he has banned me from using the forums.  Mind you I never posted a link to my blog on the Ionic Wind forum, nor said anything bad about anything or even gave my opinions on that forum.

I fully support your right to state your opinions.  That being said, the title of your blog posting ("Down with Emergence Basic and Ionic Wind") strikes me as a bit tasteless.

I have changed it to "No longer a fan of Emergence Basic and Ionic Wind"   I hadn't even paid much attention to the title I have the entry.

I completely agree with the avoiding Ionic Wind and any of Paul Turley's projects.  Matter of fact I blogged about the whole deal today over on my blog http://michaelwhitt.com/blog/?p=90

I don't have anything personally against Paul.  I think he is a smart man.  I just think that he has no clue how business works.  As the above poster mentioned he has a habit of posting all his troubles on the support forum.   He likes to beg for donations.  Begging just doesn't work.

Paul contacted me asking me to remove my blog posting which I have chosen not to do .  I only stated my opinion as a former Pyxia and IonicWind customer.   I am sorry if there are those that get upset by others opinions.  Like I said Paul seems to be a nice guy and I meant nothing again him personally.  I just wanted to state my reasons for not continuing to go with his projects.   As far as the language and such I have no problems, I do think that it is a stable language.
