Today a so-called Amiga site which was supposed to allow freedom of speech has now become a exposed heavily censored website, webmasters acting like children insulting members of the site just because they stand up and say what they think.
I feel betrayed.

Freedom of speech is no more on a popular Amiga site. : Comment 195 of 238 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Wayne Hunt on 06-Feb-2004 16:47 GMT | In reply to Comment 192 (Paul Gadd): Paul,
Thanks. Just a reminder though that your account has not been suspended for quite a while. While everyone knows full well that piracy exists, and we all accept that most software these days on the Amiga *is* pirated, we simply cannot allow people to use Amiga.org to promote piracy.
Piracy is one of the reasons that the Amiga is "dead" today, and one of the reasons potential returning developers are reluctant to support the Amiga market again. Most old-school Amiga developers (for example, EA) still remember getting burned by working hard on a product only to see it fail to generate sales due to piracy.
I hope you understand that the suspension certainly wasn't anything personal.
