seriously, meerschaum... that was uncalled for.
Making people who support the Amiga Triad equal to heroin junkies.. this is exactly what starts a flamewar. I don't go around and flame morphos users for their choice.. What reason do you have for looking down on people cause they like OS4 and/or Amiga Inc? Just let them think what they like, it's a free world after all, isn't it?
I really don't see why people has to react a certain way just cause in the past, this person has said X or Y. Listen to what this person says now instead and try to put yourself in his shoes. Is it really that unfathomable? I think not, but that's just me. Until the day comes when we can have a civil discussion, without cheap shots at eachother, without drawing paralells towards various things that aren't favourable, I fear this "community" is severely limping. Just take a moment and think through what SirLancealot said. He makes quite good points throughout the entire discussion, and he does this witout insulting people. It's not like it's anything wrong with that.. is it? I mean respect and empathy..
I've been called alot of things in my life, and a not so little part of those things has happened since I joined this "community".. people putting a label on you just cause you say this or that. I think it's unfair. Especially this BAF and BMF thing. Most people I have met aren't BAF's or BMF's.. one likes OS4, another likes MOS, but they still agrees on alot of things. But online, it seems like just cause you haven't met the person, or you can't see their facial expressions or body language while writing, people automatically assume that they are attacking you personally, and thus respond in kind. I find it sad.
Enough of my rant, this will be my last post in this thread, I think.
in hope of more understanding from ALL sides..
