Redrumloa rocks all kinds of socks

Wow! You guys, Red is an Amiga.org heavyweight. How did you guys drive him away? I have debated against him on many issues, but never once did I ever question his integrity.

And some of you may not ever agree with this, but it's guys like Red that help maintain value in the Amiga hardware. Keeping the value in the hardware helps keep the community alive. If there was no value, I'd one day throw my A4000 040 with video capture in the dumpster instead of selling it to a fellow enthusiast. Since the valueless A4000 in the dumpster does nothing for the survival of the community, it should be clear that only the high valued hardware can help the community. Keeping the value as high as possible ensures that the old, ancient, obsolete hardware will remain in circulation for years to come. Artificially devaluating will only hurt the community.

I can turn that around and say that if you love the A4000 so much you'd be willing to pay top dollar for it. I know I did when I bought it.

You could be very stupid and posting a lot - does that mean you're some expert heavyweight?

I think you're mistaking my comment to mean that he's some kind of super Amiga expert, like Dave Haynie or something. No, I said Amiga.org heavyweight, as in this forum. I'm sure he knows his Amiga stuff, but that's not what I was saying. As for A.org, the guy has been around for ever, has the respect of many people and has earned the position of moderator. Does he have his off days? Yes. Does he say things that many disagree with? Yes. I've gotten into flame wars with him many times, but that's beside the point. Even though I think his judgment may be skewed on some issues, I believe he's the type that strives to always do the right thing. I guess what I'm saying is that I have a good level of trust for the guy and think it's sad to see him driven away like that. However, for this community it's par for the course.

OK, which one of you dumb fraks ran off red, just purchased some items off of him and it all worked great.

Ha, classic smerf! At least we can say we're on the same side for once!  :-)
