What the hell does that mean?

Bit inappropriate. Or maybe it's an acronym?  But they are certainly anal. IMO.

@thread

some folks love amibay. some folks don't. but there is absolutely no need for any personal attacks or name-calling. this isn't a grade school playground, so let's remember to keep it civil and back up our opinions with facts. thanks!

Anal (Short for Anally retentive) : a term generally describing a person overly uptight or distressed over ordinarily minor problems.

Not sure who you were referring to in regard to name calling or personal attacks I was referring to the general Amibay entity.  An "opinion" is a subjective position based on an emotive interpretation of fact.  You can't really back an opinion with objective fact as it's based on a personal subjective interpretation, but in my case just go have a read the amibay rules. (Overly uptight I feel)

If you like internet freedom, or if you like ideas of freedom in general stay the hell away from the power obsessed, boys club of mods on Amibay. Be prepared for them to internet stalk you, invade your privacy, and attempt to dictate what you do, who you do it with and when and where.

Like good ole times in Berlin.

And no,i'm not being funny this is how they are. VERY ANTI AMIGA. It has the FRONT of being real amiga but its mainly a bunch of HOARDERS trading hw with eachother.

I've been a member of a simular forum for a specific Car(Auto) brand.  It was run by a car club and was very autocratic. But sign-up was nowhere near as laborious.  
But I can understand why you want to be sure of a person's identification on the internet.  Especially when money is changing hands and there are so may shonks out there in the Amiga computer arena.(area). But IMO once you are in and verified there's no need for it to translate to general operations.  Certainly not Berlin of old though.  Because I'm pretty sure death is an option not exercised by Amibay.

Ignore Commodorejohn, everyone knows the last Unicorn in the world was killed by Margaret Thatcher.

Nobody is talking about anyone using another name or "identification" what are you talking about? I'm talking about the nazi like tactics and privacy invasion that is POLICY and DAILY ROUTINE for the people that run this silly site.

If you can't understand the flow of a thread beyond your own posts I'm not going to explain it for you, or explain myself. Putting it simply, my response to your post was in relation to the "boys club" comment only.  I'm guess you block people which results in the non contextual experience in a thread, the alternative that springs to mind is possible as well I guess, either way your problem not mine.  
But separately, Nazi has connotations beyond your ego magnetic, the link is tenuous at least if not consistent with your comprehension.  

I see desiv's sarcasm and raise you a straight.

The value of something is in it's demand. It's not based on purchasers opinion.
