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.
