Fan Mail: New ideas for name-calling.

Your reviewer had long winded argument with someone who don't know how to respect criticism.

Here are some new ideas for Delphi developers to call "trolls":

Why not call your management "trolls"?
Since the pointy-hair boss walks from left to right, waiting for your work to be done. Since Delphi compiles so fast, then why is work so slow? Maybe it's the boss fault, for not buying nice 3rd party-add-ons, or requiring to use older versions of Delphi. Then every time Delphi developers ask for raises, it's until AFTER the project is finished and all the money is collected. Do you feel someone breathing down your neck when the project is not done correctly?...

Why not call the third-party vendors "trolls"?
They operate a nice troll booth to collect tolls. It seems each component is sold separately by different vendors, and in order to get good working application, you need to cross many bridges? It seems every year prices keep increasing and every year a new upgrade? How much toll does a vendor collect in a year?

Why not call the HR or Payroll trolls?
Since they "need" to know about you, like how many times you were late or how many times you spent dazed on the forums, newsgroups, rather than getting things done? Why not call them deep-trolls instead, since they seem to know nothing about Delphi. Alas, if you do, you might find yourself out of job, but wait, are there not plenty of Delphi jobs?

Why not call the QA testers trolls?
Since they find nearly every damn bug and report it down. Umm, you know, like the people who write a long list of issues on the Borland newsgroups and then demand support? then they get frustrated, and notably, get called trolls.

Why not call the Graphics designer or C++ developer trolls?
Since they are paid more than Delphi Developers and amazingly, seem to use 1 application and get things done without additional costs required.

You can see the "amazing wisdom" about Delphi Developers are, one moment, they teach how good about Delphi is, and later, start this name-calling and discrediting other people.
