Good to see that they can create flames themselves, and it wasn't because of my presence (and of many others who just like me deleted their account on amigaworld.net for some reasons).

Shakes head...

Ben Yoris would have been a crowd favorite to these individuals before his comment, and he is public enemy #1 to them after his comment. This could be seen as "Thrown out"

The so called "crowd" may love them and eat Hyperion alive the other day. It's the nature of the crowd. (Or the so called "Amiga" community maybe)

As for this speculation that you just added Warface you are approaching slagging them off for the hell of it which is also uncalled for.

Pardon me, it's just my personal feelings and experience. That's the exact reason I left that site for. No need to come "after me" and continue your attack on anyone critical towards your beloved ones. We all have opinions, you know.

And regarding the crowd... It's the Helgis effect. (Sorry Helgis :-)) A mixture of frustration and blind devotion which bursts out occasionally in absolutely contradicting behaviour.

Based on what? You condemn a whole sites readership because......?

Because amigaworld.net was always very proud that it's a peaceful site, having no flames and strict moderation. And also blamed for the rarely occuring smaller flames the MOS trolls. Now this time I saw no MOS trolls in there, just an in-breed enermous mud throwing fest, driving two of the Hyperion staff away.

Oh I see, so if I criticise your generalisations I am defending my "beloved ones". Nice and rational.

Come on, you even attack the least emotional among us, you jump on even SlimJim if he says something criticising Hyperion or Ben Hermans.

We all have opinions, you know.

Quite. So am I allowed one that contradicts with yours?

Why not? :-) However I can't see what is your problem. My arguments are valid. There was a huge flame fest on the "peaceful" amigaworld.net and I was not involved. I stated nothing more, nothing less.

And regarding the crowd... It's the Helgis effect. (Sorry Helgis :-)) A mixture of frustration and blind devotion which bursts out occasionally in absolutely contradicting behaviour.

I was not aware of Helgis being an Amigaworld.net member. I mentioned him because of his over reacting posts here on Amiga.org.  "The nature of the crowd". Couldn't agree more.

You take this too personally methinks.
