Your response was less than helpful.
If you don't have anything to say, why post?

Just to harass already over frustrated amigans?

btw, the main point of his post was ENTIRELY CORRECT.  Promise for Christmas, then January, then February...nows its march...

That isn't trolling or flamebait....it isn't even close.  Its quite polite, and it was direct and to the point.

If you had first asked Rogue to stop trolling and issuing flamebait, then I would have respected you for having a consistent approach.

But since you didn't, its fairly obvious that you use accusations of trolling/flamebait as a debate technique to shut down opposing viewpoints.

I don't find it persuasive.

In 8 days, we will know that another 8 days have past, and we can always look at things in hindsight with perfect clarity...so what...

Thank you for your clarification.

And I stand corrected.  The post was 'civil', not 'polite'.

Usually I try to be careful with words, especially since with the international audience...I know its hard enough to learn english as a second language, I could at least use the correct words.....

response:  fair enough, but may I suggest that being helpful is a good quality.

quote: if you call correcting false information "harassment", then yes, that is what I did.

No, I don't call that harassment.  What I call harassment, is where someone's position is worn down via repetition, rather than through intellectual discourse.

By that definition you are not just the harasser, but also being harassed.  Which is true enough.  I suppose by the same line of thinking, in which you are not here to help, many people are not here to help you or accept your answers.

But, I suggest harassment on both sides is not especially helpful and therefore not recommended, but nevertheless it seems to be the only choice left, when one side has stated repeatedly that they will not engage in any other type of discussion.

But, as much as I enjoy posting commentary, I will also say this....I can see your position.  If you don't have anything to say, just what the heck are you supposed to say.

It's not finished...I personally don't expect you to announce your failure to complete the project on a week by week basis.  Such an exercise in humiliation would not really serve any purpose.  I do think people should buy into other choices, considering the failure...not excuse it, but not go around expecting unreasonable solutions.

My personal stance is that I'm disappointed that the product is not completed, and ultimately I do blame Amiga, Inc. and not Hyperion.

I seem to be in the minority on this, but Amiga, Inc. owns the IP, they have the responsibility to complete this....if they are doing it through a contractor, or through osmosis, I don't care....they coulda/woulda/shoulda didn't.
