I'm guilty of doing this too! I posted the following news thinking it was a major story by an company that also plans to make Amiga's.
 
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57151
 
 
I caught a lot of hell and people even left the site over it. It seemed newsworthy and even involves Disney so who would have guessed?

@Transistion
You cannot win no matter what, that is the sad truth. Any time anything significant news came out a huge fight broke out and people left. This goes back to the mid-90's and ANN.LU and got progressively worse up until 2003. The worst year was 2003 when Genesi made a major push and Amiga.org didn't ban discussion, a good chunk of users left in an organised exodus to a young site called Amigaworld.net. There have been many other events.

The little bit I know and my knowledge of Kommunity history tells me you haven't seen anything yet. If things look bad now, they will be 10x worse in the near future. This will probably worse than 2003. The Kommunity is smaller, but the fanaticism ia even stronger in a smaller minority. Everything will work itself out in the long run as it always has like WUP/PUP, UAE, Amithlon, AmigaOS XL, AROS, MorphOS and too many others. That is not even including the failed projects. Whatever the vision for the site, stick with it and grow thick skin.

Or were you being sarcastic?

Yes!

My sarcasm has to be framed in the context of all the nonsense lately.

That "news" announcement does not contain the word Amiga anywhere.  It does not talk about an Amiga-related product.

How much did CUSA pay you to post that?

If they paid you a fair amount then the item is merely annoying.  But if they paid you nothing then it is stupid and annoying.

Like it or not, Commdore USA is the parent company of the new Commodore Amiga. You giving Transition crap because you don't like the news doesn't help anything but give Transition heart burn.
