Hi Gelb,

Actually Wayne's avatar is "Buddy Jesus" from the movie Dogma, and is more of a strike against the status quo.  

I think Itix is probably more correct than most of us think about the "majority."  There are a lot of spiteful people out there who will use every opportunity given to cause havoc.  Those people are likely not your average Amiga.org user, but quite possibly "amiga / morphos haters".

Regards,
Targhan

I could have sworn I saw that Buddy Christ (jesus?) statue in Dogma as well ;-)  Then again, they play that movie on TV here so much that I hardly pay attention to it when it's on anymore :lol:

You are so correct.  Dogma.  Dunno where Karma came from.  Just multitasking I suppose.

Well, it could have something to do with Jay and Silent Bob, as they appear as themselves in several movies, and this could be applied to BuddyChrist as well.

okay, onto the topic...  I know and am friendly with both sides of the #AZ and A.org thing.  The whole shabang doesn't 'seem' right to me.  Something, somewhere, is missing.  A piece of the puzzle, if you will.  I know the member of AZ who would likely be accused of such, and he couldn't hack his way into a can of tuna, let alone a server.  I have some ideas, but I think it would be best if I contacted Wayne privately--since I consider this to be sensative.

In the end, I suspect a big mis-understanding that blew up a halfway decent association, if not a friendship, between a couple of parties.  I don't think anyone in AZ would do something to AO (other than just not show up anymore if they were really angry), just like I don't think Wayne would purposely do something to them.

Targhan

Losing advertising, both the dollars and the recursive advertising for our little community have both been lost.

On the other hand, I did learn something today.  There are things that I cannot fix, bridges I cannot mend, and people whom I cannot help to reach a peaceful agreement.  And, that is that.
