I don't want to be disrespectful. I just have a kind of fear and disgust(I can't find the right word) for rip-offs and stuff like these like BUY ONE GET TWO.
You do sound extremely disrespectful and you speculate on things you don't quite understand. There are currently at least 25 JoS languages, each probably running on its own server. In addition to these languages, there are many other websites associated with the JoS. Some of which have been attacked.
You do realize that the HP never really asked for anything, right? Literally, all he did was mention that people wanted to donate out of their own free will and that he would create the necessary conditions for that. This included a dedicated page in the forums for the donation address, which, in case you haven't noticed, is the same as the one on the main JoS site, no new address has been created. But even if it had? Why is that wrong? Because he is rewarding those who went out of their way and shared some of their money out of their own free will? How does your thinking make any sense?
But even if he did ask for money, why would it be wrong? Do you even have an idea of how much it is to maintain 25+ servers plus everything else which that entails?
With everything that is currently happening, why is that your main concern right now?
Why, at this particular moment, are you accusing the HP of scamming people and making claims about things that never occurred?
Somehow you don't actually think trough it, that there is a chance, that HP's account got hacked.
With all what happened, how this situation accoured, I had a stronger faith in that might be HP's account got hacked too.
I did not criticized HPHC himself, and I know that he did a lot, and I know that mony is needed here.
I criticized the situation, and I considered that his account might got hacked too.
These factors made me think that, and they might be not 100% true or accurate, but at that time I thought that:
-New adresses
-Poorly writed comercial
-Hacked sites
You see? and I might not listed all thing that I thought of at that moment, so I don't see the problem with that somebody, in that case me, say that, and so that if somebody had the same thoughts, HP explained clearly what is going on.
I was migh be disrespectful, I can't do nothing with that now. I could apologise, but as I said, I had a good reason to write all that. Even if my knowledge had blind spots, I had a good reason.
