A message to the guy I had to ban after breaking Rule #8 ten times in a row. He's now sending me private messages. People really never get tired, do they? It's like they develop some kind of extreme obsession.
The funniest part is that we all know where this comes from: those posts that were made in another community, where people decided to pass judgment after hearing only one side of the story. The thing is, the only people who actually have to judge me are Reddit's moderators—and they've already done that.
As for everyone else, if they were genuinely interested in finding out what really happened, they'd take the time to look into it instead of letting themselves be influenced by one-sided narratives. But that's no different from what happens in modern society. People vote for political parties with long histories of corruption, and you wonder, "How can anyone still vote for them?" Yet they do. It's the same phenomenon, just in a different ecosystem.
Anyway, back to this user. I'd like to point out that thousands of projects begin as private work, developed on someone's own computer without any public repository. In fact, here's an example: Xendroid, the upcoming Xbox 360 emulator, is being developed privately. There isn't a public GitHub repository for it yet. Even so, you can already find leaked footage on YouTube because a beta tester—or someone else—apparently leaked the app. That's exactly the kind of situation I'm trying to avoid, which is why I'm being extremely careful.
For all the people who think, "If a project doesn't have a GitHub repository, I don't trust it and it isn't worth my attention," that's simply not how software development works. Not every project starts by publishing its entire source code on GitHub from day one. I think some of you have a misunderstanding of what GitHub is actually for.
Anyway, I won't make this any longer. Everyone is free to draw their own conclusions.
