Jonas, we can argue about this for ten hours, here on CCC, and yet you wouldn't send even $10. I guess your time is worth a lot less than $1. You are rationalizing your action with your disdain towards CTF. To you it doesn't matter what happens to CCC if at the same time the CTF is to stay alive. Your "love" and devotion for the CCC is less important than your feelings towards the CTF. This is not my opinion this is what you are saying and doing! If I'm wrong please elaborate. > The fact is that i don't like CTF, yes. and the following is also a fact: You wouldn't blink an eye if CCC disappeared, tomorrow. >this does not mean that by default it is a bad place, just my opinion... This is irrelevant with respect to the CCC. > I do >not have a vendetta against CTF, but whenever someone mentions this issue i >speak my mind, just as you are entitled to. This is self evident. I'm only suggesting that your mind is playing tricks with you! :-) > I am not hiding behind anything >here, i am just being honest about how i feel when it comes to CTF. What are your priorities? Which one is more important to you CCC or CTF? ... and if CCC is more important to you, then why are you defining your relationship with the CCC through the existence of CTF? > >I never said CTF was despicable, i said horrible, please don't put words in my >mouth. Sorry. "Horrible" is the word. > >Just to be clear, out of principle i refuse to _pay_ to maintain CTF. Steven S. has already pointed out that CTF has been payed for and that your money are not going to go towards it! Regards, Hristo
