Update 5/30/2008: As predicted, the following post was edited by Martin Dougiamas in the thread on Moodle.org, yesterday. It seems his tactic was to block my ability to post, then post his comments after I could no longer respond, and continue to allow his disciples to bash me in the forums while I'm silenced. Well, I'm kind of stubborn :-)
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=98209 (Compare to the screenshot below)
The next page is a complete list of all communication between me and Martin via his own Moodle IM system. Martin's private "personality" doesn't exactly match the image he portrays in public. I've worked with, for, and around a few people like Martin in the past. Martin is probably an okay guy, but he seems to suffer from a problem of believing his own PR. He has a large following of dedicated disciples constantly telling him how great he is and he seems to be believing it to the point that he can't tolerate it when someone dares to challenge him.
Martin's contention in the thread (screenshot below) that I posted private email is, once again, misleading, and no doubt, intended to show you what a bad person I am. What I actually posted is not email, it's exchanges using Martin's own Moodle.org IM system, so there is no mistaking anyone's identity. See the complete exchange between me and Martin via his own IM system from the very beginning of my involvement with moodle.org. Notice the GNU statement at the bottom of the screenshot. Keep in mind that this communication (as for all moodle.org IM users) exist in plain (unencrypted) text in Martin's own database...private email? I have a general rule when it comes to electronic communication: I never send anything via email, IM, PM, etc., that I wouldn't want to see on the frontpage of my local newspaper.
