This must become the rule #1 in every Amiga forum:
"NEVER bash an Amiga developer, even if you are right.

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.

Define "bashing". You said "even if you are right". So if you are serious about this "rule", then you really need to be more specific about what is and is not an acceptable to air your view.

However, I really object to treating developers differently to anybody else. Why is it ok to "bash" mere users but developers have a special rule to protect them? It is not acceptable to abuse *anybody*, and that is why we have moderators. We don't need a special rule about that just for developers.

The developers depend on the users as much as the other way around. With no users, the developers don't have anybody to use the software they want to develop. So to elevate the developers above the users and give them special rules to protect them is nonsense.

 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?

Was that directed at me? I can't really see what it is in response to.

Nothing. It's just unclear from your response who you are talking to - there are a lot of people posting in this thread.

[EDIT]
Never mind. Just re-read Cymric's reply and seen the "what a pity..." link.
