And as far as what to do about that, if you'd like to take some action out in the world that helps people, and/or encourages others to, I'll stand right next to you in agreement. If you want to use our legal system as a weapon to force people to "be nicer", I absolutely will not

Working on creating an embedded database lib in #haxe, based on nedb. I've been studying and researching for months, and I've got it mostly figured out. Anyone interested in collaborating? If all you can contribute is ideas, that'd be helpful too
