Due to censorship by Argo the thread is locked but it is interesting to see a major Anti Amiga Inc webmaster turn in to a Genesi attacker and a certain website defender.

Interesting thread on Amiga.org : Comment 201 of 382 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernie Meyer on 07-Sep-2004 11:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 165 (John Block): Puzzling indeed. That statement, which I think we can now surely assume to have been in conflict with reality, is just asking to be made into a make-or-break indicator for KMOS.... And it really wasn't necessary.People still don't have their T-shirts. It's now, what, 6 weeks after the speech, and not one person has spoken up and reported that those shirts printed 6 weeks ago have arrived. Not one person who updated their details at AI has reported any tangible benefit from doing so.So, for all intents and purposes, the whole "the T-shirts went into print yesterday" had the effect of gaining some potential credibility for, what, a month, until it becomes clear that something is amiss. Now, 6 weeks later, it would have been better to just have said "Sorry, the terms of purchase mean we have no obligation whatsoever regarding T-shirts; We are sorry you got screwed, but life ain't always fair". At least KMOS might still be viewed as communicating clearly and openly. As it is, they have bascially shot any credibility that was left after the weirdness of the takeover.WHich makes one wonder --- what was to be gained from one more month of semi-credibility, that was worth that price? Can anyone think of anything legitimate? |
