A sad day.

Poor Bernie :-(

May I say "SHUTUP!" I know this is bad, but theres no need to try to destroy the rest of what the Amiga has. Just move on!

[SlimJim]

Yes sad indeed.
 
Never owned Amithlon, but it's too bad to see it end like this.

Sure you may, but I'm going to say it right back.
Shut up yourself buddy.

If you don't like the thread go somewhere else.

We all have a right to say whatever we want to here.
That's why it's called a forum.

I guess you think that if you lay there long enough, everything will get better?
Well, guess what?

It's not going to get any better if people don't stand against it.

If you want to play dead, then go ahead.
But leave everyone else alone.

and I didn't mean to be cruel.
I just wanted to proove a point.

So when I said, "shut up".
I did not really mean it.

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

and you have no backbone sir.

Enough!  I guess my earlier requests in the actual forum were not clear enough.  

Let's get something straight here and once again, I am BEGGING YOU to stop and think about this situation.  Neither you, nor I know all the facts in this situation.  No one on this site outside Mr. Frank, Mr. Meyer (sp?), AI, and H&P know what has transpired in this situation.  None of us can say with absolute clarity "who screwed who" where Amithlon is concerned.  I am not calling anyone a liar, I am stating fact.

As such, until we reach such "total consciousness" on our deathbeds, stop trying to stir everyone up.  From what I got out of Bernie's post, he'd simply gotten fed up with all of it to the point where he had to make a decision to walk away.  Not necessarily for reasons of legality or even logic, but for the sake of his sanity.  

After all, as a professional programmer, if he cannot sleep nights over a product that he probably wouldn't make money on (this IS the Amiga market after all), then why bother?  

Trust me....  While I've given up the idea that supporting this "community" would even allow me to break even (an idea I gave up long ago) I truly share his pain.  Some times this hobby just isn't fun any more and anyone who knows me knows that I sympathize with Bernie's feelings of "#### it", but....  

Unlike you, I am objective enough to know that I do not know any of the details in this situation other than "he said, they said".  As such, you don't see me (or most people here) willing to destroy the Amiga retailer market to back any one individual.

If you would have read a post that I made about 10 minutes ago, you would have seen that I had already  "stopped".

Furthermore...
I don't see where I'm stiring anything up.
I haven't been going around throwing lies at people.

I said in one of my last posts that what I am doing is a personal decision, and I intend to stick with it.

If you read the posts, you will see that I have not said anything about distributors since you posted.

If you are telling me to stop giving my opinion, you might as well ban me now.
I have a right to talk just like you do.

As I said 10 minutes ago, I will not speak much on this anymore, and that's what I mean.

It is not because you are threatening me that I am calming down.
It's because I choose to calm down.

I will not speak against distributors anymore because I choose not to.

I never have taken too kindly for people trying to force me to do things when I'm doing nothing wrong.

And by the way, I appreciate this site as much as the next person wayne.
So thanks for staying around.

 :-D

It is not because you are threatening me that I am calming down.

I certainly am not trying to threaten you, or anyone else.  All I am doing is calling for reason.  This is a clear case of "he said, she said" and as expected, combatants are lining up on both sides of the ensuing argument.  I don't care either way personally, because I have zero need to emulate a dead operating system with no decent software, but there is no need for gang war, name calling, and violence here.

That goes for everyone included, not just you.

When (and not if) OS4 ships on new hardware, are you still going to be such a pessemistic old git?

That goes for everyone included, not just you.

It wasn't me, I wasn't there, you can't prove anything.

[System]

because I have zero need to emulate a dead operating system with no decent software, but there is no need for gang war, name calling, and violence here.

I appreciate you clearing that up.

I also do not have any need for an emulator.
I hate those things.
I need a real OS to satisfy my needs.

But I hope that everyone here understands that I never meant to start any gang wars.

I never tried to start violence.
I am totally against violence.
If I caused any violence, I appoligize.

The only word that I used against another person, that I remember was "spineless".
That was because I was called an idiot.

Since I am now calm, I will say this...
I'm sorry to the members and guests on this board if I came across as hateful, or violent.

That was not my intention.

I guess I'm just different than most folks in how I express my opinion.

Now it's time to sit back and watch what happens with everything, and I hope that from here on out everything can go smoothly for all parties involved.

and I also add to my post this...

Although emulators are not my cup of tea, and I can't stand them...

That is no disrespect to Bernie.
I think he did a super job on what he was working on, and there isn't any telling what he had in store with the second release.

I never started these threads because I like emulators, but it made me sick about what happened to Bernie.

To: Bernd Meyer

Thankyou for all the effort and patience you have put into Amithlon over these trying years.  I did not get a chance to try out the original Amithlon;  however, I was looking forward to the new "Amithlon/Berniethlon".

I will always remember your efforts to give us another alternative to replace our aging Amiga hardware.

Bernie, I wish you all the best in your future endevours.

Isn't anyone starting a petition ?   :-D  :-o  :-D

Well, I guess I now have another 100USD to spend towards an AmigaOne or Pegasos.  Consider me officially upset with the outcome of the mediation and the mothballed "Berniethlon".  I was going to buy V1 about the same time it was pulled from the shelves, I guess they will never receive that money now.

No pint for this post...  :-x

I just hope that KH wasn't involved in this somehow through some very sick twisted plot at dissasembling the Amiga community brick by brick.

Another painful day in the ongoing Amiga saga.
Mr Meyer, Thank you for your fantastic effort and contribution to the Amiga world. Please don't be a stranger, drop us a line from time to time. I/we would like to be made aware of your future works.
Good luck and good health to you  :-)
