So basically if i criticise anything amiga-related i must be a troll?
Asked and answered. The point is not that if you have anything anti-Amiga to say you cannot say it -- at least, that is my interpretation. The point has been elegantly demonstrated already: there are a number of posters who not only do not have positive things to say about Amiga-related subjects, but flame the shyt out of threads with vitriolic negativity. Constructive criticism is a good thing, IMHO, but not the constant "your an idiot for developing anything on a dead platform," and such ilk. It really seems like some people have nothing better to do than to spew garbage into otherwise good threads.
Personally, I am not in favor of wielding the ban hammer against those who troll, nor mega-moderating their posts. People have opinions and that is a Good Thing(tm). I think the distinction is whether those opinions are relevant to the thread in terms of providing something constructive, whether in support or criticism of. I feel the community can moderate itself to a large extent by simply ignoring asshole-ish posts which contribute nothing.
Either way, it seems Amiga.org could start heading the way of extinction. Either by being overrun with trolls and feeders, or by being aggressively moderated to the point of uselessness as debate is quelled due to fear of reprisal. Neither of these is a pleasant option.
