		<description>Form your own opinions folks.  I'v replaced James' link to his blog above with a link to the zip file.  That is all that is relevant in this.

Not my words in my blog.  Not his words in a 900000000 word essay he wrote at his blog with his stunningly unique take on the situation.

And James, you're right about a single thing:  I was not gang-raped in the forums.  Bad choice of wording on my part.</description>

		<description>And for what it's worth, not so "lone". I've shown your antics around to a few folks, and generally the response has been "wow, I'm surprised they put up with that asshole for so long".

To each his own, I guess.</description>

		<description>Yes, James, we all have heard how you see it.

You've told us all at least 4 times now.

You're a lone man with a unique take on the situation in a sea of people who have come to a completely opposite conclusion with their own free minds.

Good for you and your conviction about your phenomenally rare perspective.

I have mine as well: Getting pissy about absolutely horrid service I paid for is not grounds for account termination.</description>

		<description>Um. I went out to a bar, and came back and found you'd been talking to yourself here a good bit. Anyway, I still don't get it.

You, personally, Jeff, went into the forum and launched an abusive tirade, going off on people who replied politely to you. You, personally, Jeffe, chose to ignore information that had already been posted and discussed which acknowledged that there were stability problems and that new infrastructure is being put into place to resolve this. You, personally, Jeff, continued to act like an unapologetic dick in that forum thread after being warned. You, personally, Jeff, got your account cancelled thanks to your behavior.

TextDrive's acceptable use policy includes a section on exercising "reasonable etiquette", and a clause which says that violation of the acceptable use policy is grounds for account termination. Seems pretty cut and dried to me; maybe you can forward this explanation to some of your fans and see if they still feel you were just an innocent victim, "gang raped" (in your words) by TextDrive.

If it had been me, I would have booted you long before; I used to do customer service for a living, and I learned real quick how to tell the difference between someone who wants to resolve a problem and someone who just wants to scream at someone. As it was, you were allowed to go on acting like a dick for a good long while.

And, Jeff, I know you're in a very confused place, but they aren't "customers of mine". I don't work for TextDrive. Although it doesn't seem to matter here, because anyone who disagrees with you is automatically "one of them", apparently.</description>

		<description>Shall I continue?  Or has the 1000 unique visitors to these posts of mine in 2 days been enough for you folks?  97 of them are customers of yours who found the link in a post by someone in your forums.</description>
