For Rose and others from a post a couple of months ago here on amiga.org...
...Within a true "Community" of people of course there are differences. There *can* be different hardware, there can be different operating systems, and there should be different opinions about many things. Let us not forget we are human, computers are not. If we can share our differences intelligently with mutual respect for the dignity of others all these sites will improve in their usefulness.
We think there is far to much unnecessary "flaming" on all the sites. We have been a part of it. We reacted in kind. We have never been intimidated by any of it and we simply will not allow FUD to remain unanswered. What will stand in truth and fact in the future will be the action and the results developed by all involved. If your looking for "measure" we are ready for judgment. We can talk about it and genuinely seek to be the best we can at all we do. If your looking for a fight and you are bent on insults and personal attacks, take it somewhere else.
The "thread wars" are over. We need to work. Our future is on the road ahead. We can see where we are going and know how to get there.
Lastly Rose, have you noticed there is a Rebol mailing list on Phoenix and that we have an initiative with Rebol. Ask yourself why? Also, Jolyon Ralph formerly of Almathera is on the Executive Committee of the Phoenix GameTeam working on the Phoenix Pegasos STB initiative. Here is a statement from Jolyon that appeared on the mailing list in February:
"Oh, and a quick word about the rumours about Almathera/Viscorp - a lot of things were said about the demise of Almathera and VisCorp's part in it, some attributed to me, which were simply not true. If they were true I wouldn't be so happy to be working with Bill again, and I'm certainly happy to!"
OK, back to work.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill :-)
