I find that the author of this particular thread is largely irrevalent when compared to what was said.
Through my own research I have found this theme to be recurring, all the way back to the Escom Viscorp. deal, and so I find myself agreeing with it.

I simply cant believe that someone with the experience Mr Buck claims to have, backed by the training in leadership skills westpoint gave him could become such a innocent and hapless victim of such shenanigans time and time again.

This leads me to conclude that Mr Buck is either:
A) Hopelessly incompetant
or
B) Has a personality failing that causes this that he is unable to recognize and\or rectify.

I lean towards option B simply because one does not get such a group as the pheonix consortium on side when you are incompetant.It is my thought that the same personalty traits the are charismatic and persausive to many people, act in exactly the opposite way with others in the case of Mr Buck.

My final conclusion assuming optiob B is correct is that Mr Buck has "cried wolf" just one too many times, though his post I must admit has shown a great deal more dignity than his other recnt posts and is good to see.

All this aside I wish all the parties involved in the Amiga community to just pull thier heads in, swallow thier pride and pull together in the one direction and start competing with the real opposition being Mac PC and Linux to expand the Amiga market rather than this cannibalization thats going on.
This includes everyone from Mr Buck tand Mr Mcewen, to Mr Meyers and Mr Frank.

@Targhan

I find myself in complete agreement.Professionalism here is the keyword, and something that has been lacking from certain companies

It is my view that it is pride that is standing in the way of the things I have described above....no-one wants to back down, admit they are wrong or make comprimises because of it.
Some of these companies have attempted oto a lesser or greater extent to swallow thier pride, but as yet have fallen short of the mark.
This pride swallowing must also be done by certain member of the community, as this is a cycles that keep going.Company A makes a statement, community A goes woohoo, community B syas what a load of BS, company B joins in to support community B company A says something to refute company B and around and around it goes.

We as a community must put a stop to this by not allowing this kind of thing to continue, and put pressure on ALL companies to resolve thier differances.
I have yet to see one person disagree that everyone working together would not be the best thing for our platform.
So we as a community must step back, remove ourselves from any particular loyalties and refuse to tolerate this back and forth any longer!

I am sick to death by these companies TELLING US that Amiga Inc. is screwed, Genesi are a bunch of idiots, OS4 is never coming out, MAI is a backstabbing bunch of bastards and so on.
All these companies exist to provide US what we WANT, and it seems WE all WANT the same thing, a united Amiga front.

Its long past time WE TOLD THEM that this is no longer going to be tolerated and get them to do what WE as the community want.

We should show these companies by example by putting aside our differances and for the community to work towards this end.We can do this through posting, by e-mails, with our wallets, and refusing to participate in the propaganda and flame wars cause by all these cheap shots these companies and individuals make.

Good answer.
The community could really benifit with a greater attitude like this.
