A few realizations
« on: April 03, 2011, 04:56:42 PM »
So I've come to realize that there's things I really can't be assed to care about anymore:

1: Red vs Blue. OS4 vs Morph OS. I am unlikely to ever run either, and I'll skip threads where this is likely to be a discussion point.

2: CUSA threads. Period.

3: People who seem to be on the site purely to talk about how the amiga sucked compared to PC's or this or that console, or how every game sucked etc etc.

You know the type.. any discussion will inevitably become about how feature XXX was actually worse than feature YYY on generic PC ZZZ and this unfailing truth has to be driven into the skulls of the audience mercilessly as if anyone cared 25 years later.

4: Drama queens and whiners. I apologize that an evil man is forcing you to read every thread, and respond to every thread on the forum.

I will add that I joined the site exclusively for its pancake coverage.

EDIT: Believe it or not, I dont even mind having the CUSA stuff here. I just dont care to read the arguments anymore.

It kind of reminds me of "that guy".

You know who it is. The guy you invite to a party and he wants to spend all night talking about his pet crusade. Every conversation becomes about that one issue.
Everything is seen in relation to that. Its how he defines himself and others.

Even if you fundamentally agree with him, it still becomes annoying. "No, I don't think choosing pizza toppings has anything to do with freeing tibet"


There's a lot of "that guy" at this party.

Runie, you do realize that you in fact, just started the kind of thread you abhor. Thanks for the spam! :lol:
 
Just 'ignore' the spuds, ninnies and twits and they'll go away before too long. Way too much wasted bandwith as it is on drivel and nonsense. Stop feeding the trolls! :angry:

haha, yes. I am part of the problem now :)

I assume you meant "asked" not assed (but then...)
 
I not 100% sure which is red and which is blue (I guess I'm part of the blue team). If you're not interested you don't have to involved yourself, but plenty of us are interested and there are others who each day decide to try either OS. AND it not that adversarial (although MorphOS is better).
 
I'm interested in this and have been more so since I took the time to call Barry Altman and hear him out. Like it or not Commodore is back and in production. Whether you're interested in their products or not, the interest they generate can only serve to increase interest in our own communities.

Im not looking to censor anything. Like i posted above, I dont mind the CUSA stuff being there. I just get tired of the perpetual bickering in those threads.

Amiga [A1000] was the last revolutionary computer I ever bought, and therefore the best Now in the time of lethargic evolution my PCs are just tools, I love them no more than my chopsticks.....only the food is important ;)

I think this is a good point for why we are all here.
 
I like my linux box, but its ultimately just a tool to do stuff.
