dear Smalltalk promoters,
��I have too many friends that are in a divorce with kids in the picture.

��I have an understanding with them: they can talk (rant) to me about anything regarding their divorce, but not in public and not at parties.

So this stuff:

Now, I want to have details about your message. What do you mean by
"blatantly unethical behavior"? At which point have we been unethical?

I do agree, that using phrasing "lost money" was inappropriate.

ESUG is a non-profit organization and such phrasing simply cannot be applied to indicate that it was spent more money than it received.
If it would be a commercial organization, such phrasing would be totally adequate.

That is my only issue concerning current flame-out.

I want to ask ESUG board members to not use such phrasing anymore, because they are inadequate.

But i am far from calling that "blatantly unethical behavior".

After all, ESUG mission is about 'losing' all the money they can get from sponsors to help promoting smalltalk.
