I decided that after putting up with Sabre hosting a fake TSC room for over a year that I would study his insane logic for doing so. He thinks that someone gave him my room, when it wasn't theirs to give, and that he now somehow owns the rights to it.
I applied that same logic by having freon give me his "Big Tits" room. I have as much rights to his room as he has to mine, right? If he can host a fake of mine for over a year, I can host a fake of his, right? If it is acceptable for him to do so, then it is acceptable for anyone else to do so too, right?
And he also stated this in reference to his hosting a fake of my room:
<SABre'> Show me a copyright, trademark or other IP protection. Otherwise be very carefull about your wording.
My channel was founded on February 17, 2004. It's name, logo, the website, etc was copyrighted to its creator (me) the moment I made the very first website for my channel, the very next day on February 18, 2004.
It was founded as a place of education, with its members helping each other with their knowledge and experience with programming, networking, web design, operating systems, and any other aspects of technology in which they have knowledge of, or are seeking knowledge of.
It is not a file trading room. It is a help and information exchange room where the help takes place live, right on your screen, in your chat window right when you need it. We help people educate themselves. We help you with your homework. We cater to your educational needs in any way that we reasonably can.
We are not a WinMX development room, although some members have done some developing for WinMX. Other members have done other types of developing that have absolutely nothing to do with WinMX.
At one time Sabre was a TSC member but he caused a large amount of trouble in TSC in the past and was kicked by me for disrespecting other members.
When Frontcode closed their peer caches and Sabre decided he needed a room to act as his home base for WinMX related stuff, he knew he couldn't use his own Big Tits room for that. He said it just wouldn't work. So he came to my room. He knew the reputation it had and that is what he wanted for his own.
He stated to me his intentions to take over my room whether I liked it or not and use it for his own purposes and not what it was intended for when I founded it. I told him to get his own damn room and Hollow even hosted one for him. But that wasn't good enough for him, he wanted TSC.
Rather than to let that happen and my channel become something it wasn't meant to be, I asked multi to shut it down. It was for the protection of my room, its reputation, and its members. It broke my heart to have to do that. That room was my home and the members were family.
Any room that has carried the name of mine that did not do so with my full approval does not subscribe to the principles it was founded on and therefore is a fake.
Yes, it is true that Sabre asked me if he could host it for me back in the late spring of 2006. But he lied to me and the members of TSC. He said he wanted things like it used to be with everyone working on various projects and discussing programming stuff...with all the old members back and us all getting along, like it was before he started trouble. He seemed like he was genuinely sorry for all the trouble he caused, as if he finally realized the damage he had done and wanted to make things right.
I was a fool to trust him and believe him, but it didn't last for long. When he revealed his true intentions, that was the end of any trust I had in him.
What he really wanted was to host a room that would attract people with programming skills that would be willing to create a new WinMX replacement that he could take full credit for and release as his own, making those that worked hard on it just a footnote in the credits, as if all they did was pour him some coffee while he was the one that did all the work. (If he is all he claims to be, why doesn't he just code it himself?)
He was angry at the people that were involved with PIE because they didn't have the programming skills he wanted for the next phase of his plans. TSC was where he thought he could find people to do that.
But he didn't care about the members needs. And he didn't understand that TSC is more than just a chatroom...it's a family...and we do care about each other, very much. That is one of the things that makes the room work.
He didn't care that Sable had just started a cat breeding business and needed help with how to build a website for it. That wasn't WinMX related and wasn't going to get him the new software written for him.
He didn't care that Boki was going to need help with Java to get her degree. That wasn't WinMX related and wasn't going to get him the new software written for him.
Sabre didn't care what the members wanted and needed. Things were going to be done his way, you were going to do what he said, code in the language he wanted you to, and work only on projects that he approved of.
No more homework help, no more help with your personal programming projects, no more help with the latest assignment they handed you at work, no more help with setting up your OS, no more help with getting rid of spyware and viruses, no more help with troubleshooting Linux issues, no more help getting your wireless to work, no more help understanding math, no more help with anything that didn't fit into his master WinMX plan.
He just wanted to use the members of TSC and throw them all away when he was done. He didn't care about them at all. He only cared about himself.
That is NOT in the spirit of the real TSC and I would have no part of it. I revoked his permission to host the room and I walked away stating that the room would reopen only when I could host it myself. But he refused to close it, thinking all of a sudden that some former member who hosted it for me had given it to him and now he owns it. It just doesn't work like that.
I did state that I would bring the room back and it would be what it was intended to be when I could host it myself. And that is what I did. And my members responded by filling my userlist. This is what they wanted. They didn't want Sabre's fake TSC and proved it over & over again this past year by visiting my channel and leaving Sabre all alone in his fake with nothing but his ego & his bots for company.
All of WinMX knows about this. They don't understand why Sabre keeps it open day after day and sitting in there all by himself. They think he's crazy. They make jokes about him. They don't understand why he doesn't just close the fake TSC room he hosts. I think it's because they are right...he is crazy.
So I figured if I can't beat him, I'll join him and use his very own logic until he decides his logic is flawed enough to quit using it himself.
So welcome to the new TSC...everything it has ever been, was intended to be, but now with more breasts. :-P
