Err...quake2 being ported with a memory requirement of 128mb is sufficient proof that "nothing good can be done
without resources"? Okay...I guess people have different interpretations of the term "proof"...

> Proof that for AmigaOS to become anything real, you people have to abandon your stupid cries of "give me

And exactly where did you hear those "stupid cries"? I would like to know what you mean by "you people" in this
case, as I have never heard anybody asking for "everything...in under 15 megabytes" around any of the
forums I go to.

It's not really the exact wording I'm on about, that would make me
pretty stupid. I was just annoyed with you lashing out with a broad
generalization of your opponents, making "us" sound like a bunch of
zealots who, because we don't share your views, have no grip of
reality.

Once again, an unfair generalization and complete misinterpretation of "our" opinions. I believe I once said that I was using the Amiga because
it was the "least painful" to use. And the people here seemed mostly to agree. Does that sound even remotely like "Amiga is the one true light" to
you? My problem isn't your exact wording, as you would have people think, but rather the complete misinterpretation and unfair cathegorization of
"us".

> Here's a game (looks to be a good port) that requires 128 Megabytes to play, and I just wondered how long it would be before one of "you" started
> bitching and whining (as is ultimately typical here) about the fact that it requires 128mb to play or that you couldn't run it on your antiquated 060 machines.

Well, that point is fair enough I suppose. Being the moronic zealot I am, I might have asked a question about the memory usage. Maybe I'd even hack
the person who ported it to pieces by asking if there was any chance of optimizing it. Good thing you pre-empted me there.

It's not just you...a lot of posts just went AWOL. I would really like to know why...

You got the last word on that one Wayne. At least your opinions won't be moderated away. I will not repeat mine, as they would probably be removed again. Just make a note that as far as I'm concerned, the argumentation in this thread is no longer balanced.

The end. (really)

@Wayne:

Your last post is untruthful. I accept your explaination for deleting my posts. Your interpretation of my opinions is wrong however. Simple remedy: Delete the post. This post is a reply, and will be removed along with it.

@wayne:

>So now you WANT me to delete your posts?

I said I wouldn't mind that post being removed, if you removed the reason for it. It is quite different from the first deletion. In the first deletion, you removed my replies along with your posts, but then you restated most of the points I had replied to. That clearly destroys the balance of argumentation. Then you restated "my opinions", or rather a dumbed down version of them which didn't really match the original opinions at all. Do you see the difference? Ok, I'll try explaining it abstractly. First case:
1.You said A.
2.I said B.
3.You deleted A and B.
4.You repeated A.
5.I pointed out the inbalance.
6.You claimed that I said C.

The deletion I suggested:
1.You said D (Corresponding to point 6 above).
2.I said E. (Saying that D is false, suggesting deletion of D and E)

I don't mind deletions where it is meaningful and doesn't destroy the balance of argumentation.

You mean we both make sense on most subjects?  (except religion, where only I make sense) :-)

I admit I stole the avatar idea from KennyR, but I feel that I have the right to, since I'm possibly the biggest AC fan on earth...;-)
