From Roquedrivel:
Me with my cognitive disabilities compounded by health problems, I often completely misunderstand what people say/do and go down the wrong rabbit holes of thinking.
I took that to mean I'm like some kind of dictator. Good luck trying to figure out how I connected the dots in that way. Somebody in another forum (thank-you!) gave me pretty much the greatest gift: a simple explanation of what Roquedrivel meant.
Thank-you Roquedrivel.
I've been developing some serious anxiety because of one individual attacking me and my interests and the one contribution I can make, however limited by my abilities, to BASIC in general, and very specific "niches" of programming, software development, and support for other BASIC implementations.
I have no expectations at all of any grand successes. Even if just a handful of people find what I'm doing at most mildly interesting, that's pretty cool.
I expect loads of people to have zero interest in what I'm doing. I expect loads of people to openly say why they have no interest in what I'm doing.
Personal attacks/mockery of me, my interests, the only kind of contribution I can make to others, why would anybody enjoy trying to get me to quit ? I've learned long ago that even the dumbbest/useless thing said in a meeting might actually give somebody else the greatest of ideas. Maybe BAM is a dumb idea, but it could lead to somebody else creating something really great. (That reminds me of the "Maybe" story.)
So thanks again, Roquedrivel. There are people like me out there who need a little help sometimes, and I'm really sorry that I did not realize right away that it was help. Very much appreciated.
B.A.M. because author is always adding as if he were leader of Microsoft BASIC project in 1970's.

They" were trying to defend you. This is the truth, isn't it, that you control what goes in and out of B.A.M.
Thank-you Roquedrivel.
