Developer's Corner / Re: Some Lua References Converted
« on: June 20, 2010, 12:22 PM »
Seems like a nice thing to have, thanks for converting thse! If my PDA was working I'd point Plucker or iSilo to it. I got a few references stored that way. I don't do anything with Lua at the moment, but since SciTE uses it as kind of a macro language, I might. The Plucker link doesn't seem to be working at the moment for me. (iSilo is actually superior for anything with source code, but desktop companion program has a major annoyance that people have been begging for removal of since 2003, so I'm resisting buying it)

The normal procedure would be to keep the whole process very formal. This distances people from the reality of what's happening

I guess that's the part I was ignorant of. I figured the tweet is the same kind of information that would be in the newspaper the next day, it's just we're getting it firsthand. It's not really news I follow that closely though, so I guess I ass-umed.

(whether you support the death penalty or not - and I have no interest in debating that aspect of it)

Me either. I was just trying to figure out why people were reacting so strongly.  ;)

ironically the tweet could now be applied to Mark Shurtleff himself:
"May God grant him the mercy he denied his victims"

Yeah, it's not like there was a trial or anything. It was all Mark, seeking out his victim vigilante style.

EDIT: Sorry for the sarcasm. To clarify, it is just really hard to see the reaction to the tweet as anything more than the a reaction to the act itself.

He's making a factual statement. And "May God grant him the mercy he denied his victims" seems like a reasonable thing to say, and something he might have said in real life. Not sure what the big deal is. Except if people have objections to the death penalty itself, it is understood that they don't want to be reminded that the death penalty exists, and I guess people are reacting to that.
