I dismissed "everything" that "everyone" said? What nonsense. Some people on the list made extremely valuable contributions. Some even provided extremely valuable code. Whatever this stuff was that I allegedly unreasonably dismissed, it apparently didn't stop getting PDOS working. Note that that was predominantly a mainframe list, and PDOS now works on real z/Arch hardware. And accesses 4 GiB of memory instead of being limited to 2 GiB. On real hardware. Despite being almost entirely S/370 code (generated by a slightly modified GCC 3.2.3).

Where’d you get the real hardware to test it with?

A guy turned up to the PDOS discord and said he had a mainframe, then after some discussion he invited another guy with a mainframe to join. Neither had hard disks though, so I had to IPL from (emulated) tape. There are photos in the hercules-380 (not os380) group.

You just proved their point.

Ah no, that doesn't constitute "proof" of the original statement. However, it does now introduce a burden on me to show one single example to prove that I have not (to date) dismissed everything that everyone said. Prior to this the burden was on the other person to demonstrate that I had dismissed everything everyone had said. And we can be generous and allow that there is an implied "during the period that I was a member of the group", as it is increasingly absurd that he "knows" what I did in a group that he isn't even a member of. Note that his statement is also an active rejection. So if someone said "Ok, I'm going to the beach" and I fail to reply at all, because I have no reason to dismiss that statement, that would also constitute a counter-example. It's quite normal to not make an effort to say "I agree/don't dispute" to every single sentence someone says. So if you give me a time period, I'll post a link to a message where there is no sign of me dismissing what they said.

You just... dismissed everything they said again.

Dismissing one phrase/sentence from one person is a different concept to dismissing everything from everyone. And I have counter-examples of people providing value information. Only one counter-example is required to dismiss the original claim. Quite apart from the fact that it's his burden to prove.
