Amiga Case Designer Faces Intimidation

[desiv]

How incredibly wimpy are we when this is considered "intimidation?"

An image has been presented to me of this unit featuring AMIGA branding.
This is a friendly request to remove that from your advertising.

OMG, a "friendly request??"  
The b@stard!!  ;-)

A "friendly request" is a legal maneuver.

Not if you're not a lawyer..  ;-)  (Or Tony Soprano...  I think people watch too much T.V.)

It could just be...
wait for it..

A friendly request..

 

 This is reeling the foot back.  The next step is a swift attorney to the balls.

That all depends on whether or not something is done about the friendly request and whether or not there actually is anything wrong...

As far as I know, the person stating that wasn't the president of the company.  He wasn't an attorney for the company.

Sounds like a friendly request to me...

I grew up around lawyers; that wasn't even slightly intimidating..  ;-)

@desiv

It's been removed following the friendly request.

As a related side, that's a beautiful case you've made there..

I've been pretty into my original Amigas, but that case, and if they come out with Natami before too long....  Hmmm..

And I can print my own stickers..  ;-)

his threat.

What threat???
It was not, in any way, a threat....

It was a comment..
It was handled..
What's the big deal?

Some people love drama..  :uzi:  

But - and I am only saying that because I care - there's a lot of  decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real  thing.

Huh?

It's a movie quote..

:lol:

Yes, I'm stuck in the 80s...

No, a friendly request is done in private via PM or email and involves words like "please", "thank you" and "would you mind".

You have quiet friends..  ;-)

I still don't see the big deal with the initial request, even in public.
He didn't say "Hey, you're a thief!  Take that down or I'll fix you!!!"

"Please, thank you, and would you mind" would have been polite and friendly.

That being said, the follow up, when he said he did that in that manner because of someone being a "vocal critic"...  That's the type of statement that goes to intent, and takes the "leeway" out of the original comment.

I still think it could have been a friendly comment.

But I agree now, that it probably wasn't.
I still wouldn't call it intimidating or a threat.

But I would call it non-professional...

You have to admit, with the exception of a few products, most of what Commodore made was not pleasing to the eye.

No I don't...  
With the exception of the 2000 (which was functional), C16, and the Plus 4, I think I liked most Commodore cases.
To each his own..

;-)

Daddy's new case is great..
The keyboard is a bit "Mac" for me tho...  Not my favorite...
