Ignoring the truism that perception is reality, I'd agree. Perhaps some of us did jump to some conclusions.
That said, it is interesting how he lashed out, blocked bids and wants to close his account. I agree with Wayne on almost all counts. Some nasty things were said. Some of us -were- having a bad day. Things got carried away. Most, if not ALL of us (myself included), offered a truce, a hand shaking and a gesture to move forward together. By his inaction and lack of participation, Red has made it clear what he thinks of the entire community, the business and the hobby. But that would befit his most recent verbiage and actions. And that's what's most saddening here.
It was never my intention to have Red or anyone like him 'leave' the community. But if this is what is to be expected of him, then... make of it what you will. He will be missed, but life goes on.
Amiga.org rocks on many levels and is still *better* than most/all of the other AmigaFanForums - IMO. It's comprised mostly of kind hearted people who aren't afraid to share their advise and techniques. Still MUCH value to be had here, make no mistake about it.
