dear marcus

first: yes I have the same impression of others. You are gratuitously insulting.
Expressions like:

"hahahahaha, you must have a very short brain"
"that whole triple thing is a piece of trash"

are insults, and even if he really forgets about things you shouldn't say
something like "you must have a very short brain". Moreover even if the test you
present show that the triple brain does not give the expected results it does
not necessarely make it "a piece of trash".

second: to me finally means (also) "in the end" or something the like.
Especially in the sentence:

"This happened last week and finally the court forbid Marcus to publish results
of beta versions of Shredder he didn’t have which sounds logical to me."
(Stefan)

I read that "in the end the court says..." not that "the final decision of the
court was". A small semantic difference which makes a huge difference in the
understanding.

You turned things (consciusly or not I don't know) quoting only a fragment:

  ">and finally the court forbid Marcus to publish results of beta
   >versions of Shredder he didn’t have which sounds logical to me.
   >Also I don’t think that German courts are famous for random judgements.

   oh no, my boy. not finally. this was only the decision in the
   "accelerated lawsuit were the decision depends only on your statement
   and my statement. and so you said that a version 4.xx is not a
   betaversion of version 5, the judges thought that it is a betaversion
   of version 4!

   now the normal lawsuite is starting where the judges will start the
   normal hearing of evidence.

   so we are far away from a final decision especially when we go through
   all the instances."

quote from yours and cutted quote of previous text done by you.

Please, undestand that I don't want to comment on who is right about this
lawsuite now. I just want to point out that I don't like your approach.


regards
Franz
