What the Amiga community really needs (other than a new Amiga)

[mikeymike]

... is a website dedicated to the biggest loads of FUD ever spread by people who claim to be Amiga fans... I do have to wonder sometimes just what possesses people to do it.  Maybe it's an urge to attention-seek that would normally be "look at me, I have a cool fast Amiga" that gets warped into whatever load of lies they can think up.

The other thing I wonder is, say if the Amiga does get back onto a stable footing, eg. new, faster Amigas complimented by AmigaOS developing at a reasonable rate, and so "real news" will be coming in at a reasonable rate to keep us interested, is whether all the people who spread FUD all the time will shut up and find something better to do?

semi rant over :-)

@ Paul_Gadd

The questions are, are people really spreading FUD? or do the people who shout FUD all the time do it because they hate to see people expressing opinions which disagree with them?

I would bet money on the 2nd one.

You seem to be implying that only one of the scenarios you presented can be the case, which makes it sound a tad like a troll.  Was that your intention?

I've never posted to ANN, or even read a whole thread on there, a habit I don't intend to break :-)

The other thing that gets me is the sheer number of people who claim to imply they have "insider information"... companies doing stuff to do with the Amiga must have the best rumour networks on the planet :-)
