Phil Daintree's shameless lies - Part 3

This page is written in response to the lies that +Phil Daintree has written about me, and spread on the internet. Despite years of searching he has been unable to find anything I have written that is untrue, and he has had to resort to vague generalities, faked emails, and badly fabricated screenshots (you can see the joins if you zoom in using any bit mapped image editor). +Phil Daintree is welcome to make any comments to these pages, as he has done in the past. If I agree with what he says I will amend my writings, if I do not agree I have allowed his comments to stand next to mine so that people can make their own judgements. I have every confidence in the intelligence of readers to make a sensible judgement based on the facts. +Phil Daintree will not allow me the right of reply to any of the lies he has told about me. It seems to me significant that he realises that if people see both sides of the argument they will see through his lies.

As with anything I publish, anybody (except the viagara  salesmen) can comment on my blog. I make a public commitment that I will not attempt to forge or censor any posts, as goes on in all the communication channels on webERP. If Phil Daintree wishes to dispute anything in this blog he is free to do so. If I am wrong I will alter my post. I trust in the common sense and intelligence of people to read the facts and to make up their own minds.

Lie number 5 - Phil Daintree makes untrue statements about me on the mailing list, and refuses me the right to reply

This is more than one lie, but to save space (there are so many lies to get through) I will combine them all into one. Here are a selected few of his untrue statements:

  1. Phil Daintree said here http://weberp-accounting.1478800.n4.nabble.com/Copyright-td4655625i20.html#a4655722 that "I understand Tim is ranting to everyone he can off list now". This was totally untrue. The only emails I had sent to people off list were helping them with webERP queries that they had put on the list, and that Phil Daintree had rejected my replies to them on the list. I challenge Phil Daintree to find one person who had received a "rant" from me. Why does this upset me? Because Phil Daintree has sent this to a publicly archived mailing list. He refuses me the right to reply to that list to challenge this assertion. This gives credibility to his lie.
  2. Phil Daintree said in a post to the mailing list here http://weberp-accounting.1478800.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Web-erp-svn-SF-net-SVN-web-erp-5765-trunk-tt4656055.html that I was "..hell bent on destroying the project..". This because I had removed the trailing white space that he had put onto the end of the lines. The interesting thing here is that Phil Daintree reversed my patch, and then immediately applied it as his own work, and then in some of his recent web pages about me has even included it to prove that he has written "most of the code in webERP". If that patch shows I am "hell bent on destroying the project" then obviously so is he!! Again I was not given the right of reply. Why does this upset me? Because Phil Daintree has sent this to a publicly archived mailing list. He refuses me the right to reply to that list to challenge this assertion. This gives credibility to his lie.
  3. Phil Daintree says in a post here http://weberp-accounting.1478800.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Re-WebERP-developers-Tag-tt4656191.html#a4656194 that "... I get these silly emails almost daily!..". On that particular day I had just returned from nearly three weeks away trying out the new golf clubs! I hadn't even taken a laptop with me! I couldn't have been sending him any emails let alone silly ones. I do occasionally write to Phil Daintree when he has posted a lie about me, and if I send an email to anyone that mentions Phil Daintree I do copy him on it, so that he can be sure there is no rant, and so that he has the opportunity to reply! Can Phil Daintree say that he copies me on emails that refer to me? Has anyone received an email about me from him that mentions me that doesn't include me in the address? I know that many have as they have forwarded them to me. Why does this upset me? Because Phil Daintree has sent this to a publicly archived mailing list. He refuses me the right to reply to that list to challenge this assertion. This gives credibility to his lie.
On the subject of right to reply Phil Daintree can make any comments on this blog that he wants, and I publicly promise that I wont interfere with them in any way. I am more than happy to debate any issue with him, and to let others decide on the basis of the facts. Unlike him I see no need for forgery or censorship to push my point of view, I am happy for the facts to be debated and for others to decide.

As this post is basically three lies rolled into one, and its longer than I intended I will leave it there for this time.
