@all

[downix]

@redrumloa

Mopar or no car.

[Kronos]

Yeah,thats what we need ...... more (empty) legal threats by those :-o

[Billsey]

What Wayne did was to defuse the potency of someone who, in the opinion of those run and who OWN this site, had been acting like a troll. Not only were those actions not abusive at all, but they fulfilled the responsibilities of the positions involved.

Having been an umpire in years past, the goal is to be as transparent as possible while ensuring that the rules are obeyed. Kicking someone out of the game is never the first option that you want to take, but when it is necessary, it is necessary. It is not abuse at all.

Kees, by posting what you did on a site run and owned by Genesi employees, and demanding that there be no trolling or flaming, you succeeded in hitting the bullseye—right smack in the middle of it. You have not failed.

Anyone who considers to “cut and paste” the comments of a banned individual should seriously consider again, as they would possibly get themselves banned as well. Please think, and do not act foolishly.

[redfox]

Well, we now have the official response from Amiga Inc.

The ball is now back to BBRV and co.

My my it all turned into a big circus during the night.

[Argo]

Yup. Welcome to the Big Top!

     Just wait til our Ringmaster Kees has the trolls jump through flaming hoops.
Though I do think we need more clowns.

Mdwh2: those Eula:s are (among other problems on M$ policies) big
reason why I am here at the moment. IF M$ had kept it on sensible
level (like win2k) I might be willing to use their products onward.
BUT with those new Eulas (etc) I really haveto look for some
alternativies.

And IF this agressive Eula is really AmigaInc's official new policy
I'm not going to consider them much longer. What I wonder though is
have they actually consulted any laywers on all this, or do they
assume to be able to follow other bigger companies (like M$) on this
one..

EULA: To me - If its not on the outside of the box before I buy a product it does not mean squat.   :-P

@Kees

Thank you for trying to keep amiga.org honorable in all this but I think your failing

@ Wayne

I think what you did was an abuse of your power and in appropriate and make's Kees job much harder

@ Downix

Please think before you post. If your typing something which you know you will retract just don't post it.

@ Ray A Key

Snice your now perma baned from Amiga.org your welcome to send any appropriate, non flame, non trolling comments to me and I'll paste them in to any thread you wish.

@ Amigians

Give it time friends, time will tell which is the best solution. Keep the faith!

Totally Agree. Also totally agree with MikeB.

Grief, get back from a night's sleep and I find strong measures taken against Ray Akey.

It's looks to me as if it's still very much Wayne's Website, With Kees as a "front man".

Sad, I actually had high hopes for this site under Kees guidance.
Looks like my hopes were unfounded.  

Back to AmigaWorld for me I guess.

So where does that leave UAE (CUT)

UAE is usually associated with Amiga Forever 5.x CD (official licensed product). I would like to see Am*thlon like package thrown/bundled** into Amiga Forever 5.x CD suite. Thus increasing it’s attractiveness of the product.

Am*thlon still has an alien OS (e.g. Linux) to support the AmigaOS ecosystem, just like Windows/WinUAE setup except without the bloated Windows** factor.

**Windows Lite mods not included...

The post by bucket on this thread is factual. it isn't telling any lies, just pointing out some actual comments made by Bill Buck on ANN.

Wayne wrote: The comment [above, signed "bucket"] is not at issue here. The ISSUE is that last night, comments were left on this Website which were insulting and far beyond what we would let ANY mortal get away with. You would agree, had the admins not deleted the posts.

Apperantly, there were some really abusive comments posted under HMetal's signature last night. His account was then frozen, and the abusive posts under his name was removed (I whish I had seen them). Ray A Akey and the site management seems to have agreed to that the account had been hacked, and that the extreme troll posts was written by someone else. His account was re-opened with the promise that he should take it easy in the future, and that he should stay away from this thread. He broke that promise!

I think it's funny how Ray A Akey seems to think that it's totally OK to troll and act like a ####-head at some sites, but not at others.

[Hammer]

Or the Draco?

Does Draco have a licensed AmigaOS Kickstart? (Rhetorical question)…

[Hooligan_DCS]

I find it hard to believe Akey's account was hacked. Rather it seems like a quickly made excuse for a few radical comments.

I could not agree more.

I know I emigrated to amigaworld.net, but I´d rather be banned in solidarity with Akey. Wayne and his bunch needed exactly one reason to kick the (last?) amiga inc. guy out of here. Even if it was Bill Buck that started the trolling.

Wayne´s world, Wayne´s world, party time....
I hope you have a good timer in your new job at Genesis Wayne.
