I think you're asking on the wrong site, Rogue. This site is for open discussion.
Contrary to what you might believe, I am not against discussion. Quite the contrary, if things stay in a decent tone, a good discussion is something that I can enjoy.
However, Magnetic's comment was completely off-topic, a shameless plug/advertisement, and a flamebait. The topic is (unless you don't need topics at all) "AmigaOS4 Event in Essen (Germany)".
I was recently moderated for "dragging MorphOS into a discussion about the OS 4 version of Gorky 17". If I am treated this way, I think it is only fair to expect that others are treated the same way. Otherwise there goes your "open discussion".
Your comment was equally offensive, since it implies that I have any sort of influence on what is moderated on AmigaWorld.net. I never have, and never will, excert any pressure on anyone to moderate a comment. However, I will reserve the right to point out comments that I feel are inappropriate. I found Magnetic's comment to be inappropriate for the reasons mentioned above. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
If Magnetic wants to discuss this topic, he's free to open a forum thread and name it "Why OS 4 cannot be a competition for MorphOS", or "My great website". However, since it does not bear any relevance to a show in Essen which is exclusively about OS 4, I asked the moderators to remove the comment.
Unless, of course, you want to imply that "open discussion" on Amiga.org means to speak against AmigaOS 4 or not at all. In that case, I might as well shut up.
