Er...would you prefer I began lying to you, then?
If you insist, I could write things like "Yes! Yes! The assumptiona
and practices of 1993 are still *totally appropriate* in 2008, more
than a decade after the big WWW buildout. Project scales haven't
changed, and there have been no improvements in our tools worth
noticing or incorporating."
But it wouldn't be true, and it wouldn't be helpful. And all you can
possibly accomplish by categorizing my behavior as "bullying" is to
train anyone watching the exchange to lie to you rather than bringing
you actual news of the outside world.
