My concern is that there is a misrepresentation of EGL.

This seems to be as close to an issue as you can manufacture, so let's dissect it, shall we?

I say Java EE is a great platform for multi-tiered applications using RPG business logic, and that EGL is a great way to generate Java EE applications without having to learn the Java language. Not even the slightest bit of misrepresentation there, especially since I've been saying the exact same Java EE message for nearly a decade now. I've simply upgraded my toolset.

Your moral justification for these unending attacks is based on a self-proclaimed "concern for the iCommunity". Nobody in our community is hurt by my raising awareness of EGL. The only people who could possibly be hurt by my promotion of EGL are companies who sell competing tools - companies like BCD and lookSoftware. Companies you endorse.

People can draw their own conclusions. Me, I think your attacks on EGL spring entirely from naked mercenary interest combined with your nearly pathological vendetta against me.

Note that I am in no way suggesting that the companies you endorse are promoting or condoning your acts - the folks at those companies are smart enough to realize that people will pick the best tool, and that there is room for many different solutions.

No, that's just what you get with Trevor.
