I'll do as you request because you asked, although you are free to
rejoin. I think however you should not take your setbacks too much to
heart.

I've set the posting permission to blocked - meaning you can read the
traffic from the group but not contribute and you must go on qilang to
read it. This is easily reversed. If I were to ban you - something
that has only ever happened to XXX spammers - you would be banned from
both reading and posting and be forever stopped from rejoining.

Like I say; everybody experiences setbacks in struggling with hard
problems. Perhaps what you need to do is to just take a walk and
appreciate the sun and scenery. I could tell you a few stories about
eminent people making mistakes - one involving a mathematician, a
dowser and myself - but another time.

Cheer up and when you change your mind write back and I'll unblock
you.

er, if it is just because something was tried & failed, that's a lot
better than how i've mostly not tried :-) $0.02 'cause most people
literally cannot learn unless they try & fail and then try again.
edison was right, as cheesy as his quote is.

Newbie, stop being so hard on yourself.  I think the only reason you were targeted earlier for posting too much is because you post like people do on facebook(basically they even tell you when they are going to use the bathroom).  If you can control yourself by not posting every single thought that crosses your mind(both complete and incomplete thoughts) then I am sure the understanding individuals here will not rage again.  The problem you tackled is more than I have done in Shen(read: nothing).  Maybe you could try out some of the Java ports; writing simple things in said ports to discover bugs in them. Doing so might possibly help to make the ports more sound.

As I've said I have not banned newbie and my response is simply
reactive to his request. I've written to him and suggested that he
take a week out on this and then I will rescind his request which I
regard as punishing. If he still wants to withdraw membership then he
can do so himself. I'm sure that he recognises that this group is
supportive of his contribution and I'd like to thank those people who
have replied.

I don't want to keep this thread as a permanent marker because I think
we should not keep this alive. I personally, (and I'm sure everybody
else) has had moments when they say or do things which reflect their
minds at a low point, but mostly no record exists of these moments.
Let it be so here.
