Re: C IDE Recommendations

Is that "hijacking" a thread???

Specially when you have posted hundreds of times that you do not use
IDEs and use the command line instead???


IIRC, you shifted the topic to IDE's (specifically, yours), proceeded
to explain that you needed to make a project to hold information for
said IDE, and then began to argue about the benefits of projects (or
makefiles, or whatever).

When informed that for small, hacky little programs, making an actual
project file would cause more trouble than it saves, you immediately
took that stance and declared that command line usage is the Right
Thing (in some cases).

When confronted with this, you stated that you didn't hijack anything,
because all you did was suggest using a command line (that's not all
you did), and that it's perfectly fine because most of the experts here
also prefer commandlines.

You seem to have forgotten that neither command lines or IDE's are on
topic in a C group, and you have shifted a somewhat-topical thread to
those two subjects, neither of which belong here. That's what I call
hijacking. Not only that, but your hijacking caused a flurry of come-
backs from regulars pointing out your rudeness, thus guaranteeing the
success of your off-topic post in hijacking the thread.


Finally, you seem to do such things very frequently in this group,
often simply to insult Richard Heathfield (and it's very rare for
you to have an actual point in doing so).


Notes after checking groups.google.com:
1) This thread wasn't ontopic in the first place, so there seems to be
no major issue (in this case).
2) Your original thread-hijacking post was a smarmy "Welcome back" to
Mr. Heathfield. Hmm.
