@cgutjahr I've seen so many such online misunderstandings or hurt feelings happen due to not having English as a first language. A more polite response would have been:

"As an Aminet administrator I have to inform you that this construes abuse as per our terms.

On the other hand, we do have an rsync service that you may use under such and such terms...

You also don't really have to worry about Aminet 'disappearing', as we have several mirrors and recently archive.org has come onboard as well!"

It's really not that hard to take sometime and formulate a decent response that doesn't sound borderline turrets.

@nyteschayde is obviously passionate about the Amiga and that's reason enough to spend time on a nicer response.

And as for @kolla's question re rsync, you haven't really clarified it, giving only a crude response (quite rude) of '"they" is me, genius'.

No one on here is really out to 'rob Aminet' or push you off your pedestal. However, as 'they' one would expect a more neutral tone until you are really justified in changing your tone. Then again, I'm assuming you didn't really mean to sound rude and just need to brush up on your English language finesse.
