Dammy has created a dozen threads since March-2009 and not all of those had anything to do with CUSA.
I'm sorry, I missed the part where I said that dammy only posts CUSA threads. Oh wait, that was because I never said that.

I visit this place every single day and I just don't see this picture of psychotic CUSA fans shoveling their stuff in everybody's face. You are obsessed with this subject. You are seeing things lurking in the shadows that are not there. It would probably do you some good to step away from it for a while.
Ah, the armchair-psychologist tactic. That's a classic. I could try for that, like suggesting that you're willfully blinding yourself to the faults of CUSA and their followers because you're emotionally invested in their success and unwilling to admit that they might be just another fly-by-night operation doing small-scale brand exploitation and acting like douchebags, for instance.

But really, where would that get us? I'd rather talk about open, observable behavior, like their being just another fly-by-night operation doing small-scale brand exploitation and acting like douchebags. That's much less passive-aggressive.

You're missing the point. You've been claiming the guy is spamming the board with CUSA threads constantly. A dozen threads since March-2009, not all of which had anything to do with CUSA doesn't match your assertion.

Pointing out that you are obsessed with CUSA isn't armchair psychology, it's an obvious observation. Grow up kid. Just imagine all the cool stuff you could be accomplishing if you put all that energy into some code.

I agree that maybe there arn't that many CUSA zealots as they claim to be.

I think the real reason why threads are started in General Chat and not in the Other OS section isn't because they are trying to establish CommodoreOS as the future of the Amiga platform but because they don't realise they are doing it. I've done it myself.

Okay, let me put it this way: dammy's last non-CUSA thread was this one, in February. Since then, he's had eight threads, seven of which are simply makeshift press releases for the company linking announcements of theirs, and one which was actually split from a thread about classic vs. NG/PPC Amigas, which he tried to derail into a shill for CUSA's announced line of PC boards in vaguely Amiga-like cases. The guy has basically become some kind of volunteer press secretary for them.

Ooh, and now the "I suggest for you to grow up, as you are a child and I am the wise adult" tactic, coupled with the related "what are you doing with your life, sir" tactic. Charming! But I must ask, what are you doing here?

Again, your assertions regarding dammy and the supposed CUSA spamming and shilling and whatever are made of lame and failure, and you continue to spastically foam at the mouth about it. You are obsessed. What am I doing here? I'm informing you that you are obsessed and you are in fact one of the people who is most responsible for CUSA related threads getting bumped to the top of the recently responded to list on the main page. The problem isn't dammy, it's not a hand full of people who have a vague interest in the goings on at Commodore USA, it's you.

Well that's nice, except for the part where I'm not foaming or even particularily worked-up. In fact, I'm in quite a good mood right now.

Like I said: when there are no more active CUSA topics here, I will stop stating my opinion of CUSA. It's not that complicated a condition.

Exactly. I think certain people are using CUSA as just an excuse to troll. Not that i'm complaining or anything...

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure if CUSA ever release any so called "Amiga" products the whole freak show will arise once again only this time it'll be ten times the fun... :)

Me trolling?  I think you need to look up the word.

If I wanted to "troll" then I'd be posting on C=USA's website attempt to stir up trouble.  All I do is ask genuine questions, address genuine concerns, take the piss out of half arsed statements and query the lack of professionalism and direction.

Hardly "trolling".

Of course, and this:

They also opened the oven door and took a huge crap inside and then urinated all over the salad bowl
..fits in which of those categories???

I'm thinking "address general concerns?"
