We are or could be one of Amiga's (the platform) greatest assets. We are also it's greatest enemy.

Please take the blinders off. Wayne's rant was not blue vs. red. It's not about what Amiga, Inc. has or hasn't done for good or bad. Nor is it about Genesi and any specific ills they have caused. It's about us, the Amiga Community, and how as a group how we've been fractured by various external influences vying for control. We've been like young children caught in a battle between two parents in the middle of a divorce. One trying to play us of the other. In the process, decreasing the odds that either will succeed.
It's time to open our eyes and realize that we are not the pawns of someones folly. We have a say. The situation is not helped by the vocal few that choose to post their opinions in the most juvinile way. That only hurts us all. What is to be gained by putting down AmigaWorld.net, Genesi, Amiga Inc., ANN, etc. Nothing. Reasoned discource, on topic of course, might get more accomplished. We may not all agree, but we're all here for a common reason. We should do our utmost to further that common interest that we share  and not let others twist us to work contrary to that.
Lastly, this is a rant. An opinion post by Wayne and colored by Wayne's own past experiences. It must be read through those tinted glasses. His experience with Genesi has been and, I can only guess, still is a very bad one. He feels used and betrayed. How would you feel? Angry, maybe? Some dealings with Amiga, Inc. have also been unpleasant in the past too. Maybe KMOS will be better. Who knows. That's not the point of his post. Sadly, that seems to be all that some that have posted can see. So, I'm locking this.
It would be nice if people could see beyond Red Blue.
