Amiga.org and Bias

[redrumloa]

On the other hand, I'm getting a BIT tired of hearing certain moderators/other people harping on about sCAM, lies etc.

I've probably used sCAM, it have a neat ring to it. I'll try to refrain from that word. :-D

That's what I'd like to know. From the Ray situation it seems as though he doesn't have mod powers anymore. (Sorry for bringing that up, but it's just an observation)

This may be more of a question for Kees or Wayne, but I don't think I'm stepping out of line answering it.

Kees is the Senior Webmaster, the buck stops with him(no pun intended). Wayne still has the ability to make modifications, but he is not. The most he is doing right now is in a supportive role handing over the reigns.

Behind the scenes we get along like a family, you'd be surprised.  There is no reason to strip Wayne of any mod rights. He is still the owner of this site, even though he is no longer managing it.

Just my take on the subject.

@MikeB

However often when someone supports Amiga companies at AO they are being ridiculed by others and called names like BAFs. Or even when people bring up AmigaWorld.net positively they are being attacked for being some kind of traitor or being treated with disrespect.

IMO highly exagerated. However if anyone has a serious gripe about being ridiculed, please contact a moderator and it will be dealt with.

The preference towards a certain platform or company does not make someone a troll, but it's the behaviour of these trolling individuals.

This is very, very true. Please takes these words to heart at aw.net. IMO it is needed there.

Tolerance and respect for eachother are IMO the pillars for a strong Amiga community. I hope AO will fairly enforce these guidelines.

I would suggest you take the same approach at aw.net.

@reflect

But right now, it looks to me as just cause it was MikeB that presented his viewpoint, you got into a defensive posture and instead of actually thinking about what he said, you put up a mirror and just deflected it back.

You are entitled to that opinion.

Can't we please look beyond our personal preferences for once, and move forward instead of stomping at the same spot all the time?

Sure. However badmouthing AO for the sake of badmouthing AO is bad form and borderline trolling. I really do not appreciate that.

[redrumloa]

I still remember it when you personally started a witchhunt against me, stating that I would lead somekind of conspiracy effort. Your comments at the time were quite heated, disrespectful and insulting towards me.

I didn't start anything Mike, you know how the history went.

Anyhow this is not productive, I really do not want to get into this in public with you again. Feel free to email me if you wish.

I almost forgot, have a nice day :-)

Hey Mike, need a new amiga ?  :-D

[redrumloa]

If you stand open for discussion I would gladly clear things up with regard to the past, as there never was any sort of conspiracy on my part. I'll send you an e-mail.

I'm all open for it Mike, send me an email. I don't like grudges and this one has been lingering on both sides.

Amiga.org will not be a battleground as clearly stated in the above announcement.

Yes sir!
