John Hart makes it sound as if I'm the scourge of the internet and have
been banned from multiple tech newsgroups. He says this because he wants
people to believe that the entire world is 100% aligned with him in opposition to me.
This isn't true, though. I have only been banned from CLAX. This was here:

So, I'm kicked out of CLAX. :-( This is presumably what John Hart is describing.
Frank Kotler the moderator apparently is Rod Pemberton's protector.

Fortunately, Frank Kotler is not the moderator on comp.lang.forth.
Here we have John Hart's favorite thread:
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.forth/c/wydQr643gX0/m/9rwVaID9CAAJ

Frank Kotler would have certainly banned me from comp.lang.forth for this:

Usenet groups can be owned/moderated by an individual? I could see Google
banning users from injecting under its terms of use but I imagine that's a
high bar seeing as spammers seem to get away with it.

Moderated Usenet groups are moderated by individual moderators or
moderation teams.

When you post to a moderated newsgroup, proper newsreaders send the
posting as email to the moderation address. If the moderator approves
the posting, the moderator adds an "Approved:" header and posts the
posting. Newsservers drop postings to moderated newsgroups that are
not approved.

I remember that when I was writing MFX I was striving to succeed, so I
often worked late hours. John Hart worked late too. That's teamwork!
John Hart would often wander into my office carrying a 32-ounce cup
from Circle-K that was filled with what appeared to be lemonade.
He would deliver rambling monologues about weird off-topic subjects.
Here on comp.lang.forth he is lecturing Rick Collins on how AI could
take over the world, and how MSN is covering up the mess we are in.
John Hart is making a fool out of himself. For one thing, Rick Collins
is a nasty troll that I haven't responded to in many years, but John Hart
is treating him as a peer. This is just as dumb as treating Juergen Pintaske
as a peer! Rick Collins and Juergen Pintaske are pigs! They aren't my peers..
John Hart is mostly making a fool out of himself because he comes off as
a crackpot. I agree that the American economy is failing in pretty much the
same way that the Soviet economy failed in 1991, but what am I supposed to
do about it? Crackpot theories on internet forum aren't a positive contribution.

There were a wide variety of crackpot theories that John Hart would discourse
on, but he mostly was interested in the creationism and pro-life causes.
When I visited Testra a few years ago, shortly after Testra's attack against me on
comp.lang.forth began, John Hart told me that he was retired and that his new "job"
was railing against abortion on internet forums (the railing was done on internet forums;
the abortions were presumably done at Planned Parenthood). Now abortion has been
made illegal in Arizona --- this is presumably why John Hart is back to his old job of
developing the RACE processor --- here he is with a vaporware announcement!

John Hart was very difficult to work with. Those rambling monologues could
really weird out an employee! I thought of them as the "32-ounce discourses"
because he would carry around his 32-ounce Circle-K cup while pontificating..
I was suspicious that his drink was spiked, but I never bothered to get out of
my chair to smell his breath, so I don't know. A big part of my job was reeling
him in and getting him to just focus on the MiniForth development. I knew that
we would never succeed if we waste time worrying about AI taking over the world.
As for MSN, I don't care if it is better or worse than other free internet news. That
is like debating on whether it is worse to step in horse apples or cow patties.

Within the context of John Hart being the weirdest boss that I've ever had,
I find it quite insulting that he is now all over the internet warning all potential
employers that they must not hire me because I'm difficult to work with.
I was willing to put up with him being difficult to work with because I understood that
creative people usually are --- but now he denounces me for being difficult to work with.
I succeeded at writing MFX! This was despite getting zero support from John Hart
in regard to advice on how to write MFX, and despite John Hart's weirdness.
Instead of getting thanked, I get attacked for three decades running...

Hopefully these groups come with a warning adults will be treated

Rated G
A G rated film, in the United States,
means it is for all ages.
It is a rating of the Motion Picture Association
in which the organization believes is suitable for everyone,
and all ages are admitted.
Most G-rated films are children's movies.

The price of medium FPGAs has come down to the point dedicated processors are no longer
needed, Processor IP along with logic, easily fit for many applications. Our 16bit processor,
four motor control chanels, four high speed encoders, two PWM outputs, two SPI ports, an RS485
network interface and an RS232 port, fit in Lattice's 7000 LUT device with room to spare.

We've been working on the development system for 30 years. Started with a Karnaugh map
solver, (carmap) optomized for PLDs with a Forth program defining the function. When we switched
to FPGAs it became obvious a different approach was needed for both data and control.

The Forth community has always been interested in Forth processors. Forth, being extensible, is
the ideal language for an extensible processor. And the reason posting in this forum is to see if
there's any interest in an open source tool to design reconfigurable processors. If so I'll explain
the workings of the program.

Rather than post it here, maybe it would be better to write it up to go with the design?

Really looking forward to some more of your work.
And I have a Lattice 7k board here.
If I remember correctly and it has not changed, it is easy using just the Lattice Programmer -
just to get started and see the LEDs flash and the Servos turn.
One option would be to use dropbox to store the files,
and a link here when news have happened.
Github as well.
The Forth facebook group would be an option to distribute the information.

And the Minimalist group is very active

I received a notice Google Groups is shutting down.
Being able to post or read things the Regime doesn't like
IS DANGEROUS!.
So access to USENET must be limited and use discouraged.

Forth, by it's very nature, is OPEN SOURCE.
That's why Corporate America didn't embrace it, even though it was the first
and most practical computer language at the time, able to be rapidly adapted
to different and extensible processors. C, with its libraries and extensions, is
a powerful language that enables corporate managers to turn programmers
into commodities they can hire and fire at will, And C makes it easy to hide what
programs do after they're compiled; a win win win for large corporations and
a barrier that makes it more difficult for small business to compete; and near
impossible for people to understand exactly what technology their lives depend
on is doing.

Now Big Tech managers are throwing billions on AGI, using libraries 'programmers'
wrote to train AI system to do what their 'programmers' have been doing. If they
succeed, massive layoffs of those employees will follow and small business will
be in even dire straits. The way out of this trap is to empower people, re-enable the
formation of capital and provide small business with low cost platforms that are
easy to use so they can automate their production lines. Forth is the ideal language
for that task. What's been holding it back is the lack of a standard for re-usable code
and logic.

Reality is an information process, set in motion and sustained by God for a purpose.
Understanding the purpose is far more important than knowing anything about anything!

We have our first Race32 JED and I'm writing a simple test program to determine if
it's functioning.

Google is dropping support for Usenet so this post may only be visible on its server.
