From statements the Friedens have made in the past, unless they were lying. At least they haven't gotten to the point where they say they want people to die in a fire, like Rigo.
Edit: And like TMHG mentioned, actions. This Timberwolf browser is a good example - the Friedens don't plan to make it open source, and I'm sure they would be the first to say "We did something and you didn't so you don't deserve it, port it yourself". Meanwhile you've got people like Fab, kase1, and Karlos who actually do write code across platforms. Where do you think the split in the communities comes from? Primarily from the Friedens and Hyperion. I never see the AROS, MOS and Amiga guys arguing about each other, it's always OS4 vs. Everybody else - and it's all down to the crappy attitudes of the gang at Hyperion. Take off the blinders.
Talking crap behind someones back is being a pathetic coward and it doesn't matter how you look at it, that's what you are when you lower yourself to that level. It doesn't matter what they've done, who got the right to act like a jerk and at the same time point fingers at others? Grow up and stop acting like a jealous little child. If you want to downtalk them send them an e-mail and do it like a man. At least they got a chanse to defend themselfes, not that I think that they will care.
