Threat against Amiga sites?

[the_leander]

He learned txting and got lazy? It's a senior Doomy from a nursing home in the future still haunting Amiga sites? Future Doomy infriging on present time. That could explain his claim to have the power to take out all Amiga sites.

Nah, it's Thierry.

On moobunny he'd go through phases of this kind of rubbish, after several months he'd "pop" and disappear for a while, presumably to sort himself out and then return much calmer. It was speculated on more than one occasion that this was due to someone in real life performing some form of intervention.

Apparently whatever safety net that caused him to stop before is now gone. Shame really.

[the_leander]

you push the idea that he did nothing wrong.

What nonsense is this? To point out that the guy ripped off members of the community via ebay is to imply that he didn't?

Presumably by your reckoning then, for instance... By discussing paedo priests people are in fact pushing the idea that they didn't actually do anything wrong...

Tell me, what colour is the sky on the planet that you spend most of your time?

I mean really, it was even suggested in this thread that his address should be posted, and someone should go to his home and beat him.  Again, since I have been here, it hasn't been Doomy that has been acting unstable.

You're actually using something Franko said seriously? ROTFLMAO!

I see we're still here... Guess it wasn't AM(EST).

Two more weeks?

--edit--

Seems someone's taken an interest... See the attached file or the new member section on the front page.

Doomy is on right now, even in this thred.

Nah, am not going there. I know my luck in these sorts of games and it simply isn't pretty.

[the_leander]

First you acknowledge..

Darren may have been joking,

You then go on to say..

It is quite another to suggest posting his address so that someone can assault him in a forum with people who really do hate him.

How very lucky he is to have you to protect him from the ugly horde of mentalists that live on this site! Why, without your calming influence we would all have gone out and blootered him!!!

:rolleyes:

Seriously, his address has been fairly widely known since he pulled the scams he did. Do you not think that if something were going to be done to him, it would have happened already?

Your "concern" is noted however.

[the_leander]

i'm gonna be offtopic to, but have to ask, whats with all the "problem?" avatars,

Problem?

 they look a bit dull

Coming from the guy with a Simpons avatar.

[the_leander]

I said this before.

You were wrong then too.

[the_leander]

The question that keeps popping up in my mind is:
 
Does any of you have actual evidence that proves that this guy "ripped" anyone off, evidence that would hold up in a coart of law?  Or did someone that simply does not like the guy start rumors, which then led to a snowball effect.

People bought stuff from him on ebay on the basis that he was a member of this site, they paid and didn't get what they paid for. They then came back to this site and complained.

Rather than idly ask these questions, go take a look for yourself. It's all there in the archives and we have a working search function.
 

I have watched this guy's videos on YouTube, especially the ones about his vintage computer history, and I must say, he does not seem like the kind of person that you people say he is.

Con artists never seem bad at first. At least, not successful ones.

  Now, he may have said some stupid things here on Amiga Org, and he may have made some threats, but, has he followed thru with any of those threats, or was he just being foolish at the time?

He got banned, he tried to come back repeatedly - in further breach of the TOS after having threatened the lives of people on this site. Whether he intended to carry out those threats or not at this stage is irrelevant. He is not welcome on this board.

I would however strongly urge you to go through the archives and find out for yourself just what kind of person he is.

[the_leander]

I get that he very well likely did many of the things that are claimed of him.  The problem is that while it is said he went so far as to threaten you Wayne, I also see in this very thread a physical threat against him.  As I understand it, he was banned because the kind of nutbaggary that would make physical threats are not the kind you want here.  I would agree with that, but the rules against threats seems to only apply to those that the mob has decided they don't like.

There are definitely nutcases on this board.  Heck, one might argue that hanging out on this board pretty much defines you as a nutcase, but the viciousness on this board gets REALLY bad, and a blind eye is turned when for some people, while the TOS bets broken out for others.

The comments made against "Mr. Campbell" go far beyond warning against doing business with the guy.  They are incessant, and personal attacks.  They set the bar pretty low for what is considered acceptable behavior, and they are frequently exactly what some of the claims against him are.

I realize that many of use were in high school when we were first introduced to the Amiga, but we are not any more.  We should act like grown ups.  OK, maybe not grown ups.  But we should at least be civil.

Way to wilfully ignore context, common sense and just carry on tone trolling.

Bravo.

To me personally I find this thread quite amusing and don't honestly think anyone is going to hunt down HC and duff him up, as far as I can tell it's just all a bit of  fun.

It is, Belia is deliberately ignoring context to prove himself right. He won't let it drop until Darrin gets permanently banned for making a jokey comment. You watch, any time there's a heavy discussion and the TOS gets talked about, he'll bring this up again.

In this so called civilised world there are far more hideous things happening right now as we speak that you should be getting worked up about rather than taking too seriously what is nothing more than a bit of banter...

Peace is just a camera shot around the corner from war.

[the_leander]

Ahh... So saying quite being a hypocrite

Still ignoring context I see. And an adhom into the bargain, awesome!

The context I see is a group of bullies who have found a target that they can use to rationalize their petty asshole behavior because after all "he ripped off users".

Uhuh. If it's so bad, leave.

[the_leander]

Ask yourself, are there half as many posts talking about Cammie's gaming contest as there are posts bagging on Doomy?

And you're helping this how?

  Which of the two is being productive to the site?  Which of the two is actually still a member?

According to Transition, both are.

If Doomy is such a threat to the community that he needs this much coverage, then just have a sticky at the top of every forum, warning not to do business with him and move on.

Or, we could just continue to have fun whilst ignoring your really quite groundless complaints.
