Its been a while since I've posted on here after lurking for a while, but the other thread has just really wound me up (again).
I'm sorry save2600, your comments and actions showed you were nothing but a sh*t, Red was hounded off the board because of one comment, hell I counted many of yours on that thread that I could have objected to.
Your actions, far from showing solidarity with the community, have further served to cause it dwindle even further. We have now lost one of the great sources of Amiga kit from the market place as well as a great guy (I'm not biased here I've never bought anything from Red).
So in the short period of time I've been on this board we've seen lots of the great posters leave (X-Ray, Kenny, etc. and now Red), yes some have returned but most haven't. You have to take responsibility for the consequences of your actions and accept that Red probably wont return.
Personally I believe the thing that should have happened was the thread should have been blocked from the start - it was clear where it was going.
Sorry for the longish post, but I really feel that saying that you had had a series of IMs with Red trying to patch it up, is pointless - if you'd really wanted to be magnanimous then the place to apologise was where you'd started the argument - on the thread, at least everyone else would then have seen you actually meant it.
How can we hope to have a community when we turn on each other like this? :-?
