More evidence here:

You guys are so negative. This Doomy guy is actually one of us, because he clearly loves the Amiga computer. Unless you have proof that he did indeed rip people off, I would stop saying that about him. Think about it, if he wanted to, he could hire a lawyer and sue Amiga Org. He would win in a court of law because none of you have actual evidence that proves that he ripped anyone off. Hearsay or gossip will not hold up in court.

Anyway, none of you guys had his permission to use any part of his video, including his vocals, to create your own versions of the video. So, if Doomy decided that he liked one of your videos enough to use it as part of his new release, you should be flattered.

Many of you are so negative and I get a negative vibe from the Amiga Org community as a whole. Wayne and his moderaters should do something about all of this negativity and make Amiga Org a happy, fun place to visit.

...and here:

The question that keeps popping up in my mind is:

Does any of you have actual evidence that proves that this guy "ripped" anyone off, evidence that would hold up in a coart of law? Or did someone that simply does not like the guy start rumors, which then led to a snowball effect.

I have watched this guy's videos on YouTube, especially the ones about his vintage computer history, and I must say, he does not seem like the kind of person that you people say he is. Now, he may have said some stupid things here on Amiga Org, and he may have made some threats, but, has he followed thru with any of those threats, or was he just being foolish at the time?

@Karl

Can't you just permaban him?


Yes, but I might as well wait until he leaves me no choice since then he can be banned for more than one good reason and any future doubts over his identity will be a bit moot ;)

It seems a typical doomy-style outburst is only a matter of posts away :lol:

What "evidence" are you talking about, Piru?

Karlos, I am not Doomy, so, why would you ban me? I am one of you guys. I love the Amiga. :)
 
By banning me for no good reason, you will only prove that what Doomy told me about Amiga Org must be true.

So did anyone have dealings with this doommaster incarnate? He did offer SAS/C here: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?p=605008#post605008 and some HW here: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=55487

If so, were there any problems?

Piru, you did not answer my question.  Also, why are you such a trouble-maker?
 
Moderators, there is nothing wrong with me asking this question, I mean just read what Piru writes.  He sounds just like a trouble-maker.

Doomy had more than one sock puppet all of which did exactly what you have been doing since you arrived. As Piru says, you want everybody to know or at least suspect it is you, but plead to innocence when called out on it. It hasn't worked before and won't in future.

What you seem to forget is that we recognised you almost immediately. What did you think all those "hidden" remarks about loading up the tranq rifle were for previously? As long as you stay under the radar, we tolerate you. But it isn't enough, you feel you have to run the crusade for restoring the image of Doomy, the most-hard-done-to user, praising his every move and when that doesn't work, demanding evidence as to the allegations made against him.

Transparent, much?

I am sure you will give a good enough reason if you carry on like this. And hey, if it is true that you aren't Doomy, well you can enjoy a drink with him afterwards and feel all vindicated together.

That was not my website, but, it was the best Amiga website that I had ever seen or heard.


I have to ask, is he really a five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award?  I've heard he doesn't like to talk about that though.

We use Auslan and Australian Sign English here, but I don't know anyone else who signs apart from my parents who live on the other side of the continent.


Interesting. I'd be curious to see what the differences are between the above two and BSL.

Quote from: Cammy;605527
I've met fellow internerds from other forums there, but again the same thing happened that always happens, they got all weirded out and walked off.


Ah, see this is where I think you might be going wrong, a lot of nerds have pretty piss poor social skills themselves. That and most people as assholes (yes, the irony in this statement doesn't elude me).

Quote from: Cammy;605527

It's not just being deaf that makes me weird and antisocial though. Plenty of deaf people are outgoing and seem to have no problems making friends, I'm just an oddball.


Given the reaction to your previous comment, I'd say you've a few friends on this site.

On the bright side, you have deafness to account for difficulties with your speech, I only have the excuse of being born in Plymouth ;)

FYI, Makaton is a sigh support system for people with difficulties understanding or using verbal language. It's not capable of replacing language due to the fact that it only really contains nouns, verbs and adjectives. So, you can sign "big yellow cup" or "more" to help a child to understand (or help themselves to express their needs) but you can't express more complex semantic or syntactic language.


I didn't realise it had that limitation, then again my only exposure to Makaton was with dealing with a friends autistic kids.
