Rafael and I have been having a debate on this thread:
http://www.planningplanet.com/forums/primavera-version-pm5-pm6/520510/why-constraints-and-other-data [1]
and since the debate we are having has nothing to do with the original poster's query, I'm going to continue the discussion here, rather than hijack his thread.
Rafael:
The original query was about whether or not to use activity constraints, project constraints, and risk levels in Primavera P6.
Your reply adressed none of these questions, but instead talked about how different software calculates float with respect to constraints, and how some software does it better than others. Nothing you said would have helped Hanson understand wether or not to use constraints in P6, which was what he was asking about.
I politely pointed this out to you.
You then replied accusing me of wanting "to promote not knowing or even forbidding discussing the possibility of it being flawed"
You then went on to discuss other problems you have with Oracle / Primavera which had absolutely nothing to do with Hanson's query, or my reply to your original post.
You then gave Hanson some helpful advise aboul alternatives to using must-finish by constraints.
I politely replied asking you to not accuse me of censorship, and expanded on why I didn't think it was appropriate to hijack threads in this manner.
I also politely asked you to continue our discussion on another thread, so as not to continue hijacking Hanson's.
You then carried on discussing things which have nothing to do with Hanson's question, and accused me of slapping you becuase I "do not want to see opposing views of how [my] software work", said I " do not like to hear dissenting opinions ", suggested that I "leave and go to places designed for more private discussion ", and also suggested that I was getting involved because "some interest, might be a partner, called you asking to give me a slap? If so why don't they show face and get into the discussion related to Hanson request"
So in summary you have accused me of:
1) wanting "to promote not knowing or even forbidding discussing the possibility of it being flawed -This is not true. I wanted to promote people sticking to the topic.
2) "not wanting to see opposing views of how [my] software work" -This is not true, and you know it. -I have often posted about limitations of Primavera software. I just don't want to see posts about why we shouldn't use Primavera in reply to a question about how best to use Primavera.
3) "not liking to hear dissenting opinions " -This is not true, and very hipocritical of you, since you have insulted my integrity on numerous occaisions, just because I dared to express an opinion which you don't share.
4) Being a consipiritor in your paranoid delusion about Oracle controlling what is said in these forums. -Which is of course complete fantasy.
My original point about you being off topic was a very minor one that doesn't really matter. I am much more upset with the way you have repeatedly insulted me and questioned my integrity.
I have lost a lot of respect for you today.
