We are just going to have to agree to disagree squarebear. Your entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. Anger however is a useless emotion which only serves to color ones judgement.

As far as me being a gentleman i had to laugh at that one. I am still debating as to whether or not I should consider it a compliment that you thought I was discussing this like a man and not a emotional female or insulted because you got the gender wrong lol. But you did get elderly part right.

I generally assume that all online people are male until proven innocent . "Gentleman" is a term I reserve for people who seem deserving of respect.

SYN, a.k.a. SIML is a new chatbot scripting language based on the AIML scripting language, as they explain. It's that one that I kind of err... offended XD on the chatbots.org forum when someone linked it premature to its release and I wrote a summary in more time than I had, but less time than it deserved.

  Very good Don, I'd like to see that on every post please

I'm glad you all were able to at least agree to differ without resentment I hope. It can be very very difficult to judge a person's intent on the net - it's what we have to live with. Demon's concerns about crediting people correctly I also agree are very valid.

It's just that on this occasion, given that quite a few of us know about Steve's and Dr Wallace's collaborations, it was a little wide of the mark.

If you really want to know if it upsets Dr Wallace you can always send him a message here.

Peace

I am not going to worry about it any more. I had thought that he had left community as some of the stuff on Alice.org is a couple of years old and most of forums did not show him as saying for a couple the one at chatbots.org had though. Too many of the AI researchers, like so many other products that were ahead of their time, have dropped out  of working on them and it is just now starting to catch on. I am not what I would call personal friends with many  but i have know of, contacted for one reason or another or played with their work for a very long long time.  So i just like to make sure every thing is above board.
I am not one to hold grudges and i really dont let myself get really emotional over debates as i debate all the time at the  yahoo news comments and kinda enjoy pissing some of them off with logic.  I was not doing that here however. I was concerned.  I am not any more.
