Amiga-developer's bashers: The biggest threat to the future of our community? (lack of devs)

[AmigaMance]

Have a look at these sites:

http://www.platon42.de
http://www.geit.de
http://amigazeux.net
http://binaryriot.org
http://www.chimachine1000.de/Pegasos/Pegasos.htm
http://www.iki.fi/sintonen/sw/
http://www.korni.ovh.org/

 I don't know if all of them basically left the Amiga/MorphOS platform because of they were being bashed/trolled by some.. ehm.. entities, but this seems to be the case with platon42. I also remember that piru complained that someone was keep trolling him a few months ago. This is a REAL shame!! We can NOT afford that! -1 developer = Another nail to the coffin of Amiga! :-(
 Allow me to paste what i wrote on another forum:

This must become the rule #1 in every Amiga forum:
"NEVER bash an Amiga developer, even if you are right. With only a handful of them left, we simply don't have this luxury"
Violators should be banned for at least 1-2 weeks, imho. If we keep this way, we will become a community with users only and no devs. This means death..

 I proposed to never BASH them, not to avoid saying your opinion..

[AmigaMance]

Define "bashing".

http://www.answers.com/topic/bashing-pejorative

However, I really object to treating developers differently to anybody else.

 Ok.

Why is it ok to "bash" mere users

 It is not ok to bash users. I am one of them.

but developers have a special rule to protect them?

 Because the viability of the community relies heavily on them?

 I also believe that he over-reacted, but some people are touchy. What can we do about it? Perhaps try not to frustrate them. :-) Remember that most of them offer their programs for free, they don't work for us.
 And, as you can see, it's not just one website down. It's a whole bunch of them. This doesn't look good...

[AmigaMance]

Yeah what a pity. I am a nazi ass, i can't help it. :-(
 I see that you participate in off-topic threads lately... There is nothing wrong with this, but when was the last time that you actually used an Amiga or a peg?
 Do you even care that all these sites went down and their owners are on transit? Do you know what programs they were developing?

@Motorollin:

So if I take issue with something a developer says, I'm not allowed to say anything for fear of them running and taking their web site down? I don't think so. I don't see why we should be held to ransom in that way. If I have a problem with what somebody says or does, I will comment on it. I don't care who they are, or what they threaten to do about it.

amen, brother.

 And i supposly disagree with what motorollin said?? Let me paste the url for the definition of "bashing" for one more time... Oh wait, it's pointless. If you don't want to understand you will not.

@motorollin

Was that directed at me?

 What makes you think so?
