As we just said on ANN: ..."Within a true "Community" of people of course there are differences. There *can* be different hardware, there can be different operating systems, and there should be different opinions about many things. Let us not forget we are human, computers are not. If we can share our differences intelligently with mutual respect for the dignity of others all these sites will improve in their usefulness.
We think there is far to much unnecessary "flaming" on all the sites. We have been a part of it. We reacted in kind. We have never been intimidated by any of it and we simply will not allow FUD to remain unanswered. What will stand in truth and fact in the future will be the action and the results developed by all involved. If your looking for "measure" we are ready for judgment. We can talk about it and genuinely seek to be the best we can at all we do. If your looking for a fight and you are bent on insults and personal attacks, take it somewhere else.
The "thread wars" are over. We need to work. Our future is on the road ahead. We can see where we are going and know how to get there."

Bill, in the past I've spoken out against you because of the way you market your wares, but posts like this make me think again. Maybe (once the trolls grow up or leave), there is some hope for the Amiga. In the last decade or so we've all been conditioned to think "there can be only one" computer in any community, but back in the golden age of home computing there were many different computer brands and everything was fine. Posts by MOS nuts anger me and by AOS zealots embarrass me, we need more posts like your "denmark" one by people in "leadership" positions such as yourself. Once people realize (by the example of others) that it's not OK to slag the other side (and that such behaviour reflects badly on everyone), this community should become a pleasant one again.
I remember, years ago I was having a conversation about shareware with a (PC-owning) friend and he told me, "there is a difference between PC owners and Amiga owners. PC owners just want to make money. Amiga owners do it because they like helping out." The current state of affairs is pretty far from what it used to be back then, but I'm sure we can get back there if we really want to. |
