AmigaUpdate, Objectivity Lost.

[Billsey]

Unfortunately, it is true. The one time respected newsletter has lost any semblance of objectivity, and the editor Bradd Webb has taken a disturbing stance against MorphOS. Such actions do nothing but breed discord, since MorphOS has created a small, but growing, flurry of development within the community.

The paragraph above had no place in a news item. It is nothing but editorializing. The place for that is in the forums, not in the news announcements.

I have heard things—which I will not repeat here—that, should they be true and become known, would have an awful lot of people here looking and feeling very foolish for having blindly followed what they thought was a good thing. The time for bashing and name-calling must be at an end. It MUST!!!

There is way too much opinionated and uninformed spouting going on and it needs to stop now.  :-x  :-x  :-x  :-x

At a recent gathering those present were told the opinion of certain dealer(s) that Amiga.org should be boycotted because its owner went to work for Genesi, and that the treatment of those who prefer Amiga, Inc. was, shall we just say, unfair, or out of balance with the treatment of those who prefer Genesi.

I countered that, defending Amiga.org and its owner, publically.

I ask those running this site, “Please! Do not make that an ill-founded defense.” Wayne is quite good at maintaining—at least outwardly—a certain degree of objectivity. There are others here who appear not so talented. I ask them to improve.

f we don't stop the bullshit and start getting along, there will be nothing left worth fighting over.

Amen, Wayne! Amen!

We all misstep—and more than from time to time (speaking from experience ;-) ). Keep your chin up and your temperature down, you'll be back.
