How many other developers engage in name calling, infantile rants and flame anyone who is even mildly critical? Sure Vinnie gets a lot of s**t thrown his way, but only because he asks for it. If he thinks he can flame people without a retaliatory response, he is deteached from reality.

Morgwen was an ardent Bearshare supporter, and Vinnie managed to alienate even him. This, unfortunately, is evidence of an increasingly malevolent Bearshare "culture".

Bearshare contributed a lot to the growth of Gnutella in the past, but Free Peers is now on the verge of becoming a hinderance to Gnutella as a whole. Do you really expect people to tolerate something that threatens the Gnet?

I agree. Think it's Really funny, since something very close to the above is happening with "fake" hosts on bearshare. Sending out huge returns on popular files that you cannot download. Wonderful 'tude here guys. Bearshare is the only Gnutella client that runs on my PC.....don't ask me why. I've tried them all. So bomb me, who shares 3000 files with any one who wants them. Even the hammerin', greedy sots using Morpheus.
Maybe I'll take my files back to WinMX....Gnutella attitude sucks...across the board apparently.

Right, so you and your idealistic notions would become terrorist. I can hardly believe what I read around here. You hate BearShare so much- DONT USE IT.

When you start talking about launching personally motivated DoS attacks on one client (and millions of innocent computer users) you make me hope that you would end up in jail. You and some other folks here might think that BearShare is evil, and that greed "sucks", but leave the users of the software who enjoy its service to themselves. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that millions of others don't.

Greed does not "suck". Greed is the foundation for capitalism. Capitalism is the reason why you get to sit in your comfy chair in front of your x-thousand dollar computer and spread your socialist rhetoric. If you don't like commercial software, go move to China, and write viruses there.
