...and there was me thinking all the red trolls had moved to the other place.

But the dribble and banter is not breaking any rules, and removing it from the normal forums would be just the tip of the iceberg. Do we then ask for emulation systems to be put of of sight? Talk about Linux ? Microsoft? Whatever-they-call-DE-today? Do we remove all these from the front pages too?

I'll let you into a secret: some of the dribble and banter from the blue side irritates the hell out of me too. So does the cr_p the red trolls are spreading on the other site for that matter. But dribble and banter is not against the rules as long as it stays civil, and therefore it should not be banned. Oppose it by debate, and if you happen to be better at debating than they are, they'll go elsewhere in search of easier publicity.

Banning ideas is not the way to go.

I agree, there's no need for MorphOS specific forums on Amiga.org. Anyone really looking to discuss MOS issues in particular should hop over to MorphZone. That's what it's there for people!

What Amiga.org needs is a bit of restraint from people who insist on bringing MorphOS into every thread, or making irrelevant comments in threads just to register their presence. That's annoying and drives people away from the site.

OTOH, it would also be nice if the childish, petty, moronic and destructive people involved in the organised campaign against Wayne and Amiga.org were to stop it now,  or else hie their unworthy hides outta here.

Blue trolls on one side and red trolls on the other. ARGH! Is it any wonder the whole community is ripped apart from top to bottom? At this rate I can make one certain prediction: there will be NO winners, only losers. Remember that.
