The poster dkg_ctc is not a normal adult in this, and his motives
are ill. He is in this only to launch insult and have a flame war.
Oh, give me a break...I think it's obvious who started the
insults--and it wasn't me.
Flame tricks such as pulling a short sentence off of its paragraph
to deliberately reconstruct a new meaning ("you think you should
get free tech upport").
lol...you accuse me of being vague, and then when I point out the
specifics of what you're saying I'm wrong again. Figures...
And Ad hominem extremes, where he abandons even the least pretense
in seeking the answer to the subject,
"The answer to the subject" is that no, it's not payware any more,
and no, it does not pop up nag screens any more. I answered those
questions numerous times; you chose to ignore them. That's fine.
but instead:
1. calls me a liar ("alleged, unsubstantiated"
report)
No, I did not call you a liar. Saying that a claim is
unsubstantiated is not saying that someone is a liar.
2. calls me a thief ("must have used a keygen")
I did NOT say that...you complain about me taking sentences out of
the context of the paragraph, and then you turn around and quote me
as something I didn't even say. What I said was:
"Perhaps you're confusing two separate products...perhaps you tried
a keygen/serial and GreenBrowser recognized it as such and proceeded
to tell you to register. I don't know, maybe you are lying."
I simply mentioned the possibility that you had done something out
of the ordinary to get the results that you got. That's all.
However, your quoting me as saying something I didn't say definitely
speaks volumes about who is the troll here. (Not to mention "My bag
of trollchow for you has been shelved," and then you continue to
malign me, lie about my actions, lie about my words, and lie about
me in general.)
You're putting words that I never said, used, or implied into my
mouth.
The reason I told him this is the stuff of flame groups.
No, the reason you told me this is because your argument couldn't
stand up to logic.
Over there, he could call me a liar, a thief, and a child
molester, too. Over there, he could draw out wild insults like
that for 500 posts, spanning months, to his little heart's
content.
Oh, sure, now you suggest that I would call you a "child
molester"...yes, it's obvious who the troll is.
For my part, I feel required to seek some amount self-discipline
with regard to letting dkg_ctc draw me any further into his flame
spree.
And you prove it with this long, drawn-out malignment of me. How
noble of you.
Failure of that self-discipline would make me a _full-blown_
hypocrite.
You already are. See above.
Seeing how I complained most recently that ACF suffered
already too many flame outbreaks within its threads.

Is there not a basic issue here - you are talking about v 1.1 -
everyone else is talking about version 1.8 ?
That would be a basic issue, yes, were this a discussion that
involved normal adults, with normal motives, interested in the
actual answer.
No, it's a simple yes or no, and the answer is yes. You are talking
about version 1.1, and the current version is 1.8. The current
version doesn't display any of the behavior you claim. It's as
simple as that.
Normal motives for the issue would mean considering things like
this.
1. Previous versions had been obvious shareware.
I don't see any confirmation of this.
2. There was a registration nag on startup in versions 1.x (1.1
known).
And there's not now, so what?
3. The nag was removed by version 1.y (1.8 known).
Ok, it no longer displays a nag, and is no longer payware (which is
what you asked). Thanks for finally admitting that.
4. When a software has changed its license status, it is normally
clear.
"This version is freeware." "You may evaluate, but please
register." "XXX is now freeware." Such statements are absent
with Greenbrowser.
Because they were apparently never necessary in the first place.
5. Webattack lists Greenbrowser 1.8 in its freeware section.
6. Both Fileforum and Majorgeeks state the license of 1.8 as
shareware.
And? There are other sites which list it as freeware too. Would
you like examples?
7. The language on the author's page, for the registration-nag
versions:
"Free to download and use...but please register for free
updates."
8. The language by the author, for the nagless v1.8:
"Free to download and use...but please register for free
updates."
Now let's quote the whole statement...surely you wouldn't want to be
guilty of misusing context like you accused me of, would you?
"Our software is free to download and use. If you think it is good and
want to support our work! It's welcome for you to donate. After that,
we will provide best support and version free update for you!"
Hmm..."free to download and use"..."donate"...I guess I don't see any
vagueness there.
Pursuit on the matter? Frankly, my interest is not really in it.
I see...so you've been spending all this time arguing something that
your interest isn't really in? Isn't that the behavior of a troll?
I have a number of good browsers, which are all freeware, whose
authors made no deceptive statements at any point in time.
And it's only according to you that the authors of GreenBrowser have
made deceptive statements. (Notice how no one is backing up your
claims?)
Further, if befalls me to avoid letting dkg_ctc troll me further
in this thread. Of course he may well follow me into another, and
there again call me a liar and a thief (+child molester +nazi +etc
== pending).
Ad hominem attacks? And here I thought you said you didn't want to be
a hypocrite, yet you accused me of being a hypocrite. Oh well, I
guess I shouldn't be surprised...at this point, you yourself have done
every single thing that you accuse me of doing.
Yes, I think that at this point it's clear who the troll really is--
and it ain't me.
A rare beast in this group these days
