I know you yanks don't have much in the way of a sense of humor but is U.K. humor really so bad that you'd rather condemn yourself to Amibay... ;)

As I spend a fair amount of my time at Amibay as well, I can tell you that you will never find a more wretched hive of.....  ... of...
English humor fans!!!!

LOTS of it over there...  You'd think a lot of them live there or something!!  :-)

And, while I am from the U.S., I have to admit the more the better...

Just finished up watching a few seasons of "The IT Crowd!"  OMG!!!
That is hysterical!!!!!!  :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

As for the Amiga community, it feels just like is used to back in the day.
Except instead of ST bashing, there is "not-my-flavor-of-Amiga" bashing...

I've never been a fan of any of that (not that I haven't unintentionally fed some trolls from time to time..  It's so darn easy to get pulled in..)...

I even remember the Amiga memory protection "discussions" on FIDONET (yes, I am that old) between Matt Dillon and  er.. um.. the people who disagreed with Matt..  ;-)  I sided with Matt; not because I knew, but because I bought and used DICE....  But, those discussions got pretty bad, and that was way back in the late 80's...  
Of course, it never seemed as bad back then.  Reading the arguments, yet listening to Tears for Fears...  80's..  

:-)

Personally, I don't mind the arguments.  But the condescension gets to me...

However, considering the season, I'll just have a glass of egg-nog & some cookies, play some Christmas Lemmings, and relax...

Happy Holidays
