This is so hillarious. It's just like watching the Britneyfans vs. the Aguilerafans having a showdown. I love it. Hillarious, yes, that was the word!  :-D

The neverendiiiiiiiiing stoooooooooooory... lalala lalala lalala...

It's extremely comfy to just sit back and wait. Or, correction, not actually WAIT...  more like thinking "when something happens it happens, and if I am interested then I am interested then".

So far I am not interested. Neither in Pegasos nor AMiGA One. Too much money involed.  Maybe Pegasos 2 will change that. Maybe not. Maybe the release of the 970 will lower the G4-prices and thus making the A1 cheaper. Maybe not. Maybe AMiGA OS 4 will be kicking arse. Maybe not. Maybe AMiGA Inc. is going down. Maybe not. Maybe people, the followers, are being of the edge of exploding due to the tension and thus making the reason for the trolling very apparent. Maybe not.

Until anything concrete: *yawn*

Oh, let me repeat that: *yawn*

But on the other hand...   not talking about anyone in particular here... there is a big difference between criticism and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I do often tend to see more of the latter on forums of the like...

I mean, noone gets anything concrete out of being called, or calling someone, a brainless moron. Noone gets anything out of talking negatively about someone or something which he/she doesn't know jack about. But to point out mistakes, talk in sense of "oneself" and being open for discussion and also keeping in mind to hold the discussion on a, so called, mature level, that is far more constructive than jumping names, flaming or whatever the like.

And this I do not point out to lecture anyone, I simply point it out since I do feel that it needs to be said every once in a while (even though it is obvious).

*LOL*

This is just getting worse and worse. Never ever have I seen such kindergarden behaviour. The language is just getting worse and worse, and people are saying more and more rude stuff to each other. Higly amusing!

But then again...

Actually, if I were AMiGA Inc. I wouldn't bother about coming to the boards and trying to stop the FUD. It may be that lack of information and updates starts rumours... or "FUD"... or whatever the like...  and it may be that AMiGA Inc. themselves have made some very illogical statements or whatever (I'm not into it, can't say anything about it), but in the end...   the ones talking "FUD" or starting rumours, why should they be "updated with the truth", since they are the ones that "mainly" helps spreading the "FUD" and the "rumours".

It's a little bit like "hell, yeah, let's talk bullshit about the king and the queen, because then they have an OBLIGATION to dement what is said". It doesn't really work that way.

I'm still so utterly fascinated by this thread...  this is actually a first for me, being able to see it all... and man, this is way more interesting than whatever the AMiGA One or the Pegasos may bring in the near future...

...but then again...

They can't properly defend AInc because they have become indefensible, so they use excuses and counter-accusations instead.

I think saying that it is boring or stupid to criticise is just one of the forms of defensiveness I outlined above. And that goes for *YAWN* guy too.


Yet it is funny you mention me at all, even drawing me INTO the discussion, even though I haven't said A THING about anything concerned the REAL issue this thread is dealing with. It's impressive how you've managed to get me involved, even without me having made one single statement in this issue (besides not really bothering at all, but anything but the behaviour of the people involved in the discussion).

Or did I misread your post? Have you not placed me in the "I defend AInc"-category? Are you just tired of me making comment on peoples behaviour on the board?

@KennyR

My reason is that I find constructive criticism being one thing, criticism another.

Also, I find it strange that people can't use proper language on the board, behaving, not calling people names, not flaming.

Furthermore, I find it my legal right to comment on this behaviour, yawning just to point out how ridicilously low I think the discussions are running (not talking about the unquestionable facts, but the way of having the discussion).

So, that is my reason for yawning. To make a statement, but apparently not regarding the newsposts real issue.
