I do not object to the existence of polls or petitions. The reasons I feel the petition is being done in bad faith are the following:
1) The petition implies the existence of more POP boards than truly exist or will exist.
2) The petition is being spread outside of the Amiga community and presents Amiga Inc. in a negative light. How can this be good for the Amiga platform?
3) I haven't seen Seehund on the AmigaOne developer list, so I think he hasn't bought an AmigaOne.
4) The original wording of the petition was poor. A quick glance at the first sentence could have people that support Amiga Inc's policies sign the petition. Some of the comments clearly prove this. English is my first language and I felt it was unclear. I can only imagine the people out there where english isn't there first language.
@Seehund: Which board have you pre-ordered? I'm more curious than anything else. I'd say that if you have pre-orderd a Pegasos, that your petition can be construed as biased and may be interpreted as an alterior motive. |
