Hey, you're calling me a moron! Guess I must be doing something right...:-D

> Sorry, just can't help myself!

That much I had already figured out myself.

RV finally came to her senses, eh?

I really doubt people visiting a hobbyist site like Amiga.org give that much difference to news and forums.


I can't speak for anyone else but *I* take "news" items much more seriously than forum items. So your assertion is wrong, I'm afraid.

If it's "news", I expect it to be "news", and while I never contributed on targhan's "news" item the other day, I have to say that I also thought it should have been a forum item.

Well.. Bill  :-(

Even I managed to avoid making that kind of comment to those people cause I though it would be way too impolite and rude.  And some people here ask why I have been so quiet last few days? Some things are better left not to said.. and that's one of them.

(edit) ... As a afternote.. It was othervise good posting.. But I'm sure it'll message will drown into this discussion.

I noticed that quite a while ago. I'm not impressed by it, though. It might be an efficient military tactic, but I don't believe it belongs in PR. At least to me, it makes him seem like a rather unpleasant character.

It's great to see these people participating in the forums, but both Ben and Bill have rather spotty records in terms of appropriateness in what they say.


I agree with you here, 100%. Sometimes I wish they would both just shut up. I know they have a right to slag each other as much as the rest of us but, taking their relative positions into account, it really makes them look petty & unprofessional.

Hi gary,

Quote
Haven't people caught on by now that Bill Buck likes to push buttons when he knows he can get a good reaction?


Yes.  :-) He got me antagonised once but when you talk to him (Hi Bill!:-)) one to one, he comes across as an intelligent, decent bloke.

Quote
It's not a very attractive game,


BINGO!! that's the problem I have with it.

Quote
In the meantime Bill Buck has a product that's selling and the attitude that he gains more from the controversy than he loses from ruffling people's feathers. If you react, you're playing his game; or you can sit it out.


I see it like that, too. Time will tell if he's right. :-)  :-)

I dont respond to the points you make cos they are just excuses for BB & i have no time for such rubbish.

I reply to other ppl again & again but i pointed out clearly that when it comes to you that i will not reply to everything you say cos you have a history of going on & on, defending to the bitter end when tho BB is has clearly over stepped the mark.

Even JonnaK has the guts to say so with BB lastest comment.

But because of your connection to phoenix & thus to genesi you wont.

i will not reply to any more of your comments cos i have better things to do.

I will reply to others whos comments are worthy.

IIRC, to post in Amiga.org you need to login. So, if such "someone" exists, (s)he should know bbrv's password.
What about the easier option (i.e. nobody's spoofing bbrv on Amiga.org)?
Ciao,
Stefano.

I liked this at the end of bill's posting on ANN.

"P.S. As we have said many times, eventually if there is an OS4 it WILL one day run perfectly on the Pegasos without a dongle. BUT, we won't do that and will not need to support the effort, one of you smart gals or guys will sort this out. Of course, you could start discussing this on ...;-) "

If this is not condoning the piracy or at least encouraging the piracy of OS4, I odn't know what is.

I find it strange that everybody involved in the OS4 solution or at least supporting it,  don't seem half as interested  in having morphOS on the A1.  Now I wonder why that is.....................

I find it hard to believe someone would be so stupid to make such comments on here and Ann which would really affect their buisness.

If it is him then i hope nobody supports someone that is acting like that.

My point exactly, Genesi want to get OS4 for the Pegasos throughg fair means or foul.  They are not going to get it through Fair means......

I`m really quite disgusted at that comment. :-(

YNWA!

Well Mr.Buck you may have been a well ranked officer and done a little charity work but that still doesn't alter the fact that you're a low life, petty man who is quite ignorant to the fact that his current behaviour is winning him no friends - only causing him too lose allies.

Great military tactic m8, I bet you were a real genious on the field.

As I've said before you are dick.

I hoped you'd prove me wrong but you seem to have sunk even lower than normal.

Incidentally the 2 lawyers I know started out as a legal clerks.
