A cautionary warning note for anti Amiga, AROS & MorphOS trolls

[Piru]

I'll bite.

I don't believe MOS is Amiga as such, but AROS is a great project

Is MorphOS a great project, too?
Do you believe AROS is not Amiga as such?

I would love for something mass produced in this category to appear and be an alternative (I don't like Apple...any company who thinks iPhone and iPad that can't access Flash based websites is acceptable is stupid)

So you consider the Apple stigma to prevail even if the original company no longer gets any profit from the sales?

I just wish some people as talented as the VIC-II/SID or Paula/Agnus/Denise designers would just come along and glue together certain bits of certain disposably cheap console and just make something a bit more 'special' out there in price/performance terms than Macs (no games) and OTT PC gaming rigs spending 50% CPU just executing the Win7 kernel for people to go 'wow' over that's all. Call me negative if you want for that but I think that's what all old skool Amiga fans who lived those days want too.

Call me a realist but that's just not going to happen. Commodore designers had it easy in comparison to has to be done today. HW designers do remarkable things today, you can't even remotely compare it with VIC-II/SID or Paula/Agnus/Denise stuff.

Negative comments will be taken in context of the rests of your posts. Idea exchanges and great debates are welcome but Amiga.org will not be a platform for any Amiga hate spreading or fud. If this is your repeated goal you might just find your account no longer working here. If another platform not Amiga, MorphOS or AROS related is your passion then perhaps a forum for that system is a better fit for you? We like to keep the site family friendly and fun. Amiga fans new and old are welcome here and positive communication is recommended. If you only have something bad to say maybe you should keep it to yourself?

I find it disturbing that you find it necessary to post something like this here on amiga.org.

Such posts as this have a chilling effect, regardless of your good intentions.

If the posting guidelines are broken, moderate the comments. Other than that IMHO it is poor judgement to try steer the discussion with posts like this. The posting guidelines should be enough.

I for one am not welcoming our new mind controlling overlords.

Did you really think the Amiga Boards were going to be left to completely degrade without check? Now that a few more people are realising the Amiga does infact have a continuing future they have begun to understand the REASON for Amiga forum boards exisiting

It is to SERVE the Amiga NOT the individual(s)

It ain't going to get better for you, so perhaps you should transplant yourselves now before you make yourselves look extremely silly

Onward and Upwards Custom AmigaHW and AmigaOS4.x

I think you've severely misunderstood something here.

@Transition

You really don't see what kind of can of worms you opened with these comments?

[Piru]

Linux and Window people are fair game. You can say anything you want to make them mad or troll for them to bite.

uh huh

[Piru]

Take for example when X1000+ custom mouse/keyboard was first showed. Some even managed to dig up shit about the keyboard/mouse claiming trevor is a evil dude who is only doing this to rip off naive OS4.x fanboys.

Would you be kind enough to specify who that "some" includes? Just to clear any potential misunderstanding.

Some even managed to dig up shit about the keyboard/mouse claiming trevor is a evil dude who is only doing this to rip off naive OS4.x fanboys.

Who are these "some"? It would be fair to specify who you're accusing of trolling.

Surely you're able to name them considering you thought it was important enough to pick this thread as an example of bad behavior.

(I asked this once already, I bet you missed my first question)

@ piru

Surely you know how to use the search function if you so desperately want to find out ?

I've read the threads of course. I didn't find the answer from them. Thus I have to ask Tomas directly.

It has to go both ways. If someone is being accused of trolling there has to be a way for the accused to defend oneself.

[Piru]

Again i wonder why we cant just put the past behind us

It was you who brought those threads up. So I wonder, why did you?

I don't see any blatant trolling in those threads. Neither can I see anyone calling Trevor evil.

If you throw such accusations in the air you better be prepared to back them up with facts. If you don't you could be accused of trolling.

[Piru]

I just provided a example of what i define as trolling.

Could you elaborate your definition of trolling a bit? What in those threads was trolling? Who claimed Trevor to be evil?

If such threads are trolling and this website is going to ban the trolls then certainly we need to know.

[Piru]

@the_leander

It is people like you that are the reason why there is still conflicts in this community.

Ouch.

[Piru]

Did you not read my reply??

Yes.

I provided an example on what i think is going over the line, so that you could see what i meant by trolling.

Yes, that is what you said but I really don't see it. Thus, I'd like you to explain it in more detail so that even I can understand.

I would not have had a problem if a person said that the keyboard was maybe a bit too price for him/her or that he/she did not like design.

Yes, I can see that in the said thread.
 

I do however have a problem when people accuse people like trevor for using this keyboard as a way to ripoff OS4.x "fanboys"

Who said that? Where? I really can't find such post. Maybe I'm reading a wrong thread?

This is important. We wouldn't want to have opinions and heated discussion being labeled trolling for wrong reasons, now would we?
