Then I would advise you to do invest some time into "Zen".
Or Sufi. Learn to control your negative emotions.
Really, life becomes better that way.

The 2000 games a year are other people's work.
However, I have entered into a partnership, concerning those games.
Which means that I have commited myself to do a certain service back.

I do not understand why you say that the lifetime updates to the Go software
is "mostly other people's work".
If you are alluding to Neil McLean's support for popular file formats apart
from SGF, that is a one-off contribution of a third party.
Yes, many have contributed something. Some contributed sounds, others a
board skin etc.
All have been duly compensated and all will be accredited, if they haven't
already been.

For the rest it is purely my own work in those software updates.

Damn.
I hope you're not accusing me of such a thing.
I do not charge any money for the game records freely downloadable on my
website.

Good.
It's always nice to have a friend, even though he/she's anonymous.

Well.. I am not!
Last time I played Go was two years ago.
I am a Go Software developer.
And not really that "arrogant".
Some people have been on a high horse, moralizing and alleging things they
know nothing about, for the sole purpose of making me look bad.
They've tried to drive a wedge between myself and the patrons here by
saying: "He is not a Go player". "He is very arrogant and rude".
"He is unethical and perhaps even criminal". "He is mentally ill". "He even
admits he is unethical". "He is not humble but always attacks people when
they critiscise him".

> go for 20 years who I consider go players. You are not a go player

Nonsense.

You don't know anything about me.
When I was younger, I smuggled two people from behind the iron curtain (the
were DDR citizens).
I could have been shot and in fact I did get arrested and an AK47 poked in
my back. It was in a forest, not particularly nice place to be when
violating a communist border.

Why did I help those guys? Because I respect personal freedom. They asked me
to go with them to walk ahead so I could give a signal that they could
follow.
If I would be arrested I could distract attention and they could flee. I
successfully got them over the border and I got arrested on my way back.

You are naive to judge people on a few words on a newsgroup.

These are your malicious allegations.
I sell Moyo Go for the price it is sold, the free lifetime updates are my
courtesy.
Moyo Go nowadays is worth its price without updates.
If I decide to kill myself of to do something else it's my business,
although I have promised to give "lifetime" updates.
And I meant my lifetime.
So I am committed to it.
This is also why I react so firmly to attacks. Because I *have* to continue
this and I will, with or without censorship by AGA and Sensei's Library and
who knows else.

If you are not out to get me, why do you say I am not a Go player, why do
you try to make people think I am untrustworthy, unreliable and might not
keep my promise of updates? Why do you say I have no respect for people and
why do you call me arrogant and childish? You don't know me. You can't judge
a person on a newsgroup dispute.

These kind of allegations are exactly the kind that made me declare war at
GoGoD.
John Fairbairn alluded to the exact same thing because I called my first
program "ZenHacker".

You disgust me.
What you do is a desperate attempt, due to lack of arguments. to call me a
criminal even before I have done anything wrong.

You say that one day, I will destroy my own life project by giving peopel a
virus.
And you have the GUTS to call me childish?

You are a despicable, DISGUSTING person and I funderstand why you want to
hide your identity.

Yes. And you are a typical dog-fucker. Spitting image.

I have put the price back to 59 USD.
This is because I decided to put the SGF collection online.

My website says 177 USD but in fact the actual Kagi order page accepts the
old price of 59 USD.

Now piss off, creep.
