| morphos.net back to its roots : Comment 81 of 87 | ANN.lu |

"There's only one sure thing in your post: your hate for Bill Buck."
You noticed? :)
gary_c,
No sense of humor these days?
Sure, I laugh my butt off at things that are actually funny. Ask my kids -- slapstick and Daffy Duck are some of my guilty pleasures. But you know when a 'joke' is focused on things that are highly contentious, people will react without laughing.
"I" wasn't 'claiming' those things were true, those were just the things that have been talked about ad nauseum around here during the last 2 years of mudslinging (from both parties). It would be amusing of similar things started happening again, but this time Genesi vs. MorphOS instead of Genesi vs Amiga.... Calm Down..
When you've said some of the same things apparently without joking, I suppose it's hard to this time see it as a joke.
As more and more prominent members of this community (various well thought of webmasters etc..) start to feel the sames way about Buck as I do (and many already do) then maybe the wool will slowly be pulled from in front of your eyes.
Uh, Agima, I interact with Bill Buck fairly regularly, and have since Genesi and the Phoenix consortium got together over a year ago. I was in communication with Christian Kemp regarding the Genesi web servers, etc. while he was still trying to get information on them (Bill Buck referred him to me at a time when the Genesi web team was 'in transition', as the Phoenix site is on the same machine). I've been kept informed of and involved in other web-related and other issues and personnel. I don't think I need some anonymous "Agima's" opinion, based on a biased interpretation of *selected public information only*, to get a more complete view of all of this. Gimme a break. I see what you're saying and it fits into a piece of the spectrum of my awareness of Bill Buck and Genesi. But thanks for your concern.
Buck is not a nice person.
I'm quite aware of what has gone down in the public arena. I acknowledge that mistakes have been made, and I don't agree with some of things that have been said and done. But it takes a leap of logic to go from this to condemning an individual. Although I'm peripheral compared to the people who work with Genesi on a day-to-day basis, I'm confident I have a *much* more complete basis than you have to make assessments of Bill Buck's character. I understand why you might have the opinion you have, but I also understand why people thought for a long time that the world was flat.
