I am anti censorship, here and elsewhere - and that applies to C-USA as well. I am also likely one of the most vocal of what they call "haters" in their terms. Guys that point blank ask questions, virtually 100% of them have gone entirely unanswered. Some of said questions asked or other criticisms, we got threatened via PM's for our troubles. PM's were reported to mods here, did nothing at all. The vehemence your "cause" gets on virtually all independent fan followed Amiga sites is well earned due to your treatment of the community. Atrocious personal behavior, and that's not even scratching at the business/PR aspects. "Insult them, ignore or threaten them if they ask questions - that will make them buy!!!11!!!!" is not working. Be civil, sane - or go away, before even more people take it upon themselves to leave this place for elsewhere. I have no rooted dislike of C-USA themselves, and they deserve to post relevant news here like anyone else. I am against elitist and insulting, disruptive fanboys being ignorant to anyone that doesn't agree with them and their Holy Aura view of "The Company" here, though.
I an open to anyone posting newsworthy "news" here, and I am not damning C-USA as a whole for the spam. When they re invent the wheel, I'll be the first one here gladly reading about the innovations they are marketing. It's supposed to be big, you know!
It's one, maybe 2 at best - of their fanboys that seems to think that every time "The Company" squeaks out a muffled fart, we're "saved".
Dammy is the worst of the worst for this, and he is driving people away knowingly from A.org, pushing an agenda - using an inflammatory tone almost always in his posts. 10,000 time worse than anything Franko ever spewed - at least he was a helpful, knowledgeable type of troll at ground level, old Franko. Yes, people are beginning to avoid this place outright because he (Dammy) has gone unchecked in his passing opinions off as "fact", only to counter with complete hostility if you pose polite questions. Should you counter his opinion in a civil manner, you are either insulted or your valid questions are ignored. If you are going to cram views down throats Dammy, answer questions - you are doing so much PR harm to the company you are going to bat for it is simply hysterical. Contributing nothing to the real Amiga community other than elitism and flames via agendas. Dammy, if I was Leo or Barry, I'd pay you to never utter the words "Commodore USA" again on any forums, lol. No skin off me, I can follow other sites that don't essentially encourage abuse, free advertising in the guise of "news". Money I'll save in the end by not donating to the "Kitty" to listen to weird infighting based on personal agendas on A.org.
Said it a few years ago when I saw the start of this mess - their products are not for me. I'm fine with that. I am also fine with the fact that if they have open season to praise said products here via non news "news" spamming, the community should be able to ask questions and have them answered. You know, like a real adult style conversation rather than just Dammy not liking what he hears and calling everyone ****heads.
And while they continue to forcefeed you their products here for free, I might as well indulge them and you guys can take a look at their 2 adverts from their $30 million ad budget/ad agency. It's almost like I've seen ads like that before... Yeah, I did. Apple. 1988.
