A-EON Technology and AmigaKit Buys Amigaworld.net

[kjmann]

Then, maybe, you could ask them why the first thing they did was to appoint a moderator that has zero connections with the Amiga community and apparently no idea about moderating a forum? A moderator that wreaks havoc to this site in a way that makes DFX's or Mikey_C's moderating styles look somewhat sane? Why is this guy here, and why is he so out of control?

Just because I haven't been on this forum since I first purchased my original A500 in 1989, I guess in your book that means I know nothing about the Amiga. I have been active in the Local Amiga community where I live for several years. I have come up with some hardware for the Amiga and games for the Atari XL 8-bit computers. Matthew is well aware of my credentials. I'm sorry if you don't like my moderation style, but I take a very no nonsense attitude toward people who just like to "stir the pot" so to speak.

I'll tell you what kind of answers you'll get: "We missed that", "it was a honest mistake", "we're still learning". There's only so many times you can use this excuse until it's no longer credible, you know.

Once again, Matthew is well aware of my credentials.

(Disclaimer: Yes, Kjmann, I'm talking about you. I'm disagreeing with your moderation decisions in public. Learn to deal with it. And I assure you, I have tons of very dark thoughts regarding Amigakit, A-EON and you.)

Quite frankly, I don't care either way what you think of me. you're entitled to your opinion and since this is directed at me I'll let another moderator deal with it if they think it violates the TOS of A.org. after all, I trust their judgement.

Nuff Said.

@ kjmann

Are you Doomy in disguise and can I claim my five pounds?

(Just kidding - I saw Oregon and made the connection in my head).

Funny. =)

I know Doommaster George Personally and he is one of the worst people I  have ever had the misfortune to meet. He only lives 15 miles from me.  His name "George Hans Campbell" is well known here. He avoids all  conventions, Expos and User group meetings because if he showed up,  there would be several hundred people waiting in a lynch mob  (Pitchforks, Torches and all) to take their shot at him. I've seen his posts over the years and he is a perfect example of someone that is just plain toxic to a online forum/community.

As I  stated at AW. I was too harsh in my action with Itix and Reversed his  ban. Although I'm getting just a bit tired of all the BS going on in the  forums. Yes, I'm been an Amiga and Atari 8-bit user for many years and  yes, one of the reasons that I was given the position of moderator is because I'm not acquainted  with anyone here specifically (I've never even met Matthew or Trevor personally). I have observed and occasionally read  some forum posts here over the years, but I have no "Side" That I am on.  I just call them like I see them.

I did read some past posts  from some people in question here from the last year or two and I see a  pattern of bad behavior from a select few people. In my opinion, these  few need to be watched a little closer because they seem to have a habit  of "Stirring the pot" just to get peoples reactions.

I Do think this is a good community overall and I think I will enjoy being part of it. I look forward to continuing to work with this forum and meet new people, but I won't be manipulated, strong armed, or detoured into changing my opinions in any way.

That is why I'm here and that is why I take such a hard nosed attitude toward some of this garbage.

[kjmann]

moderator or not, calling others "garbage" may be a little offending, as you may imagine, or even against the tos you are supposed to guard.

Guilty Conscience?

Garbage refers to Certain activities/Mud Slinging that has been going on on this forum. not People.
