McEwen in Jeopardy?

[DaveP]

Frankly none of you know diddly about the situation, its veracity or not. I agree with Billsey.

I have discovered that a few high profile Amiga Inc people **have** called in the police. AFAIR it was the police who advised him not to attend in the first damn place and this was explained to me LONG before you guys even started discussing it or a public announcement was made.

I was on #morphos yesterday and Bill Buck was relaying something about Bill McE's state of health being quite poor now. Not bloody surprising all the stress he is under.

Now you might not agree with him, or what he has done, but you can sure as hell hold fire and let the appropriate authorities deal with it like they are supposed to ( legal system ) and stop jeering from the sidelines like Life Of Brian extras.

In fact that more I find out about the situation ( through Rich and a few others who know and have done their homework ) the more I feel sorry for the whole bloody lot of them. That includes Fontenot, Peck, McEwen and Peake.

There is no reason why you should take what I am saying as primary, secondary or as any kind of truth just accept there might be an alternative reason these things are going on and that you might one day regret piling on reams of cyberscorn.

The people that work for Amiga Inc are very very bright people, they may not be business geniuses by a long way but there is an awful lot of this that is not of their own making from what I have found out. I suggest you all put in some internet hours investigating it for yourselves rather than just what you get spoon fed by Rich. You might be surprised at what you come across. I was.

Sure its good to be a cynic, but sometimes you have to consider all the alternatives - not just the negative ones.

. A telephone interview could have been made safely enough, I would think.

Possibly, but as I nor you are privy to the workings of his mind it seems a bit unfair to even speculate.

 I think, to stop attempting to keep erect the facade of everything still on track when obviously they are in rather desperate straits.

I don't think Amiga Inc denies that its AmigaDE project is not on track. They may do, I have little interest. The OS4 and A1 project are not really directly their responsibility.

 As your comment about Bill Buck suggests, even adversaries seem to be more compassionate when they know the truth.

Where was the compassion bit?

Unfortunately, instead we have more rumors and no doubt will continue to get skeptical comments from one side and over-the-top denials and defensiveness from the other.

And Im sure we will continue to get nasty, vicious comments from one side and accurate but ignored ( because its less fun ) comments from the other.

It's still the case with this "jeopardy" thing for me. And however honestly I'd like to believe you, when all of you deny to give details (but instead rumour that some MorphOS fans threatening his life like on Ann) I just cannot. Sorry.

Where was that then? I don't see anyone saying that he has been threatened by MorphOS fans over and above the silly custard pie plan rumour - that was hardly life threatening.

No, this is far more serious and you might ponder on who has gone silent on these message boards recently.

Regards

Can't you be a little more clear instead of the continuous hinting?

No.

When strange people call McEwen house late at night and scare the #### out of his daughter, this tells me enough. The lenghts some people have gone through to destroy Amiga Inc since day one is almost unbelievable. IMO all these efforts still points to the same group of people.

Like this. Mike B polluted the thread in his previous comments with references to BB's "little army".

Who are the "same group of people" you are accusing?

You will have to ask MikeB that, I am not MikeB nor do I have any contact with him over and above when we come across each other on message boards.

 And why are you each time I ask for it refuse to give straight answers?

The answers are straight, just incomplete. In fact the same thread on ANN someone posted a pretty accurate analysis of who it was.

Dave,

Since you weren't there at AmiWest, I certainly cannot expect you to understand what I am about to say... There are NO "sides".

Of course I bloody understand. I think Gary_C would get what you have quoted. Look back at what he said, he characterised one side this way and the other side that way - so I characterised it another way. Consider it a little game no harm done.  It even had a smiley to underline it. One like this one ;-)

When I refer to "blue camp" or "red camp" or "sides" I am always being slightly sarcastic. I have posted time and time again about the petty schoolyard gang culture that has developed and how pointless and petty it is. Seems people just remember me for other things.

In the end, all things considered, we each have our jobs, and our specific points of view but there is no reason for the continued hatred and division being shown on the forums.

Nothing I have ever disagreed with. Hopefully other people start to get it through their thick heads soonest.

Regards

Dave.

@redrumloa

Nothing, should there be? Or maybe you are, how shall I say, filling your own emotions into my words as someone so articulatly described on ANN.

Regards

Dave.

Well Ive had this long conversation with you over PM Warface about things like this, and actually reading what people say and even the fact that people tend to have a strange reaction when they see a certain nick that they otherwise would have had.

Now "warning" me aside ( exactly what are you offering to do if I ignore your "warning" ), I tell you again, as I told you in PM, I tell it how I see it.

You may not like what I say, that is your perogative, but you have to ask yourself is that because of me, the message or of how you have chosen to digest it?

Please go ahead, provide proof that I am indeed some "naughty boy" who is being extra nasty. I don't recall posting that frequently in Amiga.org for quite a while so maybe you have just forgotten quite how blunt I can be.

If you can tell me how I can make the same message easier on your ears, I'll take it into consideration.

TTFN

Dave. ;-)

Lets say, with a bit less patience than I used to.  :-) I have  a better perspective these days on the value of investing time in certain aspects of life.

In all seriousness, if there is a point that you think I am making in such a way that is overtly aggressive or likely to make a person with a certain viewpoint come out in a rash please do PM me. :-) I have been known to modify words significantly in past after having been tipped off that it didn't come out exactly in the way I intended.

In this case, as far as I am aware, I stand by what I said and the appropriateness of my reaction to what I percieve as Waynes misunderstanding of the seriousness of that section of the thread. :-)

Note, in England, "of course I bloody do" shows minor amused exasperation and "thick heads" shows a similar context. At least where I was brought up.

If I said "you f*king knobend" and "dense c**ts" then I could understand the concern. But I never said nor thought those things.
