Re: CAUTION: Long Rant!!! Re: [Snort-sigs] Broken 1429.2 (POLICY poll.gotomypc.com access)

[Bamm Visscher <bamm.visscher () gmail com>]

I'll admit to also being the type (like Brian) who abuses the sarcasm
key on his keyboard on a regular basis. Sometimes, people Some may
even consider my personality abusive  (a good friend recently joked
that it's a wonder I have as many friends as I do). I've also been on
opposite sides of heated discussions with practically everyone with a
snort.org mailing address (I think my picture may be permanently
affixed to Marty's dart board). With that said, I have to back Brian
on this. These lists have many different types of personalities, and
to think flame wars and other heated discussions aren't going to occur
in such a public forum is simply ignorant.  The important part is that
the parties involved either reconcile, agree to disagree, or whatever.
Looks like that has occurred in this case and it's unfortunate that
you felt the need to jump in and stir the pot (why the cross posts to
snort-users?).

In further defense of Brian, I don't see how his response to your
posts are 'out of line'. Most of the time your posts are really just
poor attempts to pimp your proprietary product or "research paper" and
while trying to disguise it as help or advice anyway.  I think this
[0] is the post you were refering to and here [1] is Brian's response.
 Read the entire thread to get a bigger picture.  See, the problem
with these posts of yours is they are flat out wrong, yet you attempt
to protray yourself as an authority on the subject and then you get
upset when someone calls you out.

And finally, this quote from you just cracks me up, especially coming
from someone who seems to feel the neeed  to ammend a bunch of
meaningless certs and an irrelevant title to every posts.

Bammkkkk

P.S.

BTW, this post is NOT a solicitation for you to contact me directly in
an attempt to pimp your product (again).  I shouldn't need to add
this, but you seem to have a lack of common sense in that regards.
