Sorry all, I've been sick and loaded down with work and some how missed all the attention my post made. Let me take this time to be clear.
CUSA is a business. They, including Barry, have made some poor decisions and remarks that could and should be classified as unprofessional. As far as I can see they are trying to put that behind them with their offer to the Amiga community. Whether it takes fight or not is not the point. I feel they are earnestly trying to offer the olive branch of peace and turn over a new leaf and be a strong supporter in the Amiga Community.
Dammy is not. Most of the comments on the post CUSA put up about this offer were neutral (read wait and see) to mildly positive. Instead of trying to help rally support to this new proposition, Dammy instead attacks and demeans people. He refused the fact that some of the negatively minded people were getting warmed over by this new move and continued to call other members out for past posts. All this does is cause unneeded contention and hurt CUSA's cause rather than help.
THIS is why I gave Dammy his warning; his wake up call that what he was doing was only hurting the very thing he was trying to defend. I'm sure if I really wanted to I could dig up and present enough information to get Dammy kicked but that was not the point of my post.
Did I use the best method? Are people going to be offended? Will I get criticized? I'd be lying if I said I didn't care at all about the answers to these questions, but at the same time I'm going to keep trying to moderate in ways that I deem appropriate.
Haters will hate,
Lovers will love,
Trolls will troll,
Mods will moderate.
Now for a heavy dose on Nyquil to dream of large women in jungle safari bikinis...
