I disagree with the some of the sentiments here.
I will start with what I agree with..., the Amibench site was a public service site, and that is wonderful that Mark provided this service for a time.
But if he wishes to stop running this service that is also very fine. I am not upset about it, nor am I particularly concerned that someone sent him 'a bad e-mail'
If you read the post that sent Mark over the top, it was a simple post asking him why he aids pirating on his site, it used some bad language.
Its similar to writing a landlord why he allows crack dealers to operate in one of his abandoned buildings.
It may not be fair to blame Mark for the illegal activity his site enabled, but its also not entirely surprising that someone blamed him either.
I suggest that it is overly sensitive to react emotionally to an e-mail coming from a user who got robbed and is upset. That person blew off some steam at the person they could contact. I am sure the pirates are long gone, or just don't care.
I don't blame him one bit for quitting the site if he's tired of these things...he doesn't have to do it, and beside the services he provided are duplicated elsewhere... but on the other hand, I do not understand *at all* why anyone is acting like something unusual happened, or this is unique to the Amiga community, and such thinking.
The problem is not unique to this community...in fact it is much worse in many other communities.
