Well thanks to you we don't have Red to supply us with quality vintage hardware... thank you soooo much... you can go to bed with a nice smug smile, safe in the knowledge that you've pissed on everyone's parade...


As I understand it Red is a grown man.  There is no one except himself keeping him from this website.

And his online store is still open, alive and well:

http://stores.ebay.com/Reds-Retro-Computing

People are going to disagree with one another.  Thats life.  Get a helmet and get over it!  I did not see a single person in that other thread say they wanted him to leave.

Going off and blaming others for what a grown man decided to do on his own is just bull crap.

This might not be popular with some of you, but redrumula was in the wrong in that thread.  I'm not saying everyone else was right, but he jumped into a thread and behaved like a troll.  He then tried to use his position in the community to claim that no one had the right to call him on his bad behavior and when the newer members wouldn't back down, he took his ball and went home.

No doubt he brought many good things to the community.  But if he is going to run off or mistreat new members, then the question has to be asked if it is worth it.  Unfortunately, begging him to come back is likely to enhance his attitude that his misbehavior is OK.


I agree 100 percent with this.

I imply you're doing some thing wrong while I can totally deny implying you're doing some thing wrong. Some make an art form of this type of conversation. Others more sensitive than you and I take offense. Those more callus then say "get over it", clearly knowing it's an annoyance to the more sensitive. These types claim to be more adult and sophisticated while in reality they're just praticing a more advanced form of pettiness.


The point is that no one told Red to leave, no one asked him to leave.  Plenty of folks defended him.  Some others who offended him (whether he should have been or not) apologized.  If Red is the "more sensitive" type I hardly got that impression from his posts.  Everyone can talk about this until they are blue in the face.  But Red can come back whenever he wants.  And no one is sitting here waiting to make it hard on him if he does from what I can tell.  And its pretty clear that even if that was the case he'd have plenty of defenders, not that he seemed to need any. He in fact seemed perfectly capable of speaking his mind bluntly in the first place.

He's also still in business, and the point of this thread was someone praising his business.  God bless.
