CommodoreUSA CEO Interview Answers being Release April 16th

[commodorejohn]

How else could one explain your none stop attacks/trolling when the subject comes up, even in a hidden subboard.  It's not like you are just posting a single post, you just keep hammering away, like a good little troll.

As I've said before, when a subject comes up that I have an opinion on, I engage in the discussion about it. If that's trolling, I'm not sure how every single member here isn't a troll by that standard. But whatever.

I don't know WTF you are going on about, I've posted what, two/three (one was a separate update of another thread that I am counting) threads, in a hidden subboard no less, since Nov yet you and a hand full of others are continuing to troll along spewing hate and blame me for activity that I haven't been doing?

I'm not blaming you for anything you haven't been doing. I said that every thread you've started since last spring has been a CUSA shill. Every thread. 100%. (And a sizeable percentage of your overall activity here in that time.) I'm not blaming you for the death of John Lennon, the continued existence of the Madagascar franchise, or the price of tea in China - I'm talking about your activity here, on this forum.

As far as my relationship as of today with C=USA, I am a friend of Barry and Leo, and I am a supporter of C=USA.  Soon as they produce a tower Commodore Amiga, I will be a customer of C=USA.    I know, that really pisses you off, but it is what it is and I have a feeling you enjoy being pissed off.  I wouldn't have posted as nearly as much in this thread if you and others were not attacking me personally for no freaking reason other then a need to take a continuous crap on someone.

Fair enough. But just for the record, I'm not pissed off by your liking CUSA. (Baffled, yes, but not pissed off.) I am somewhat irritated by the fact that shilling for them is very nearly all you do here.

Yeah Dammy ... Tell the truth we all know Barry hired you back in 2002 as a mole.  You two had planned on invading a.org ever since haven't you!!!!1111!!!!!oneoneoneexclamationpointexclamationpointexclamationpointeleventy!!!111

No wait, how do we know that Dammy isn't actually Barry himself?? After all you never see them in the same picture together! froth froth foam

I got it Dammy is Bill McEwen and Barry is BBRV.   It's been a game to them since they pretended to be at odds over the Amiga name.

This must be the case because Dammy mentions speaking to BBRV and Barry mentions speaking to Bill McEwen.

Barry, Bill and Dammy sounds a bit like the Jim Carrey film Me, Myself and Irene and probably makes the same amount of sense...

As for Barry's replies - tl;dr and meh, in no particular order. He hasn't won the punters over, that's obvious. The searching questions like "What will it take to make you go away" were ignored, yet they were probably the most relevant.

How deep does this rabbit hole go??

hmmmm.....

I find your response to this poll rather revealing. So, why such a CUSA fanboy koaftder?

The results make no sense. I only voted once yet my name is listed all over the place. I voted "Barry is the man!" because it was the stupidest answer. I also added the tags "trolling" and "fail" to the thread. As usual you're you're knee jerking and jumping to absurd conclusions.

LOL!  Yeah, I'm still not convinced the moderators are real people either. I have a theory they are just moderator bots...

Anyway my 2 cents about CUSA with the Q&A is that they did the worst possible thing a startup business could have done. They alienated their market. CUSA is no giant company like Apple so they require full support of their target market to succeed. They basically shot themselves in the foot from day one. But otherwise i wish them the best even if i don't agree with the way they are doing it.

Many of you are sinking to new levels.  Left and right you nit pick every little detail and make mountains out of mole hills.

Nothing is good enough, is it?  If Barry said tomorrow that he was going to drop the Amiga and Commodore name you all would demand that he pay to recall all the "Affronts to the Holy Name" and pay double!

And this attitude of, "I have an opinion on and I'm going to share it" is absolutely bunk since it is expressed in some of the most negative and hostile ways.

You can say "It's all in fun.  He knows what I really mean.  I have the freedom of speech" all you want but if you can not express your thoughts in a INTELLIGENT, NON-hostile way then KEEP THEM TO YOURSELVES!

A.ORG was not founded for this purpose nor shall it be allowed to promote them.

Certainly was a long and interesting read. Thanks for posting.
 
I always thought Commodore should have been left alone as a company and not been brought back at all.
 
I also think Amiga would have had more success competing along side Microsoft and Sony as a gaming platform, building on what they started with the CD32. I'd love to own an Amiga gaming console in the same style as the PS3 or X-Box. It would have been up there graphically with the best and would have also provided a platform for all the Amiga projects going on in the community, including retro game emulation.
 
I find Commodore USA a bit pointless to be honest, and agree that without the Amiga and Commodore labels no-one would even notice them at all, they would just be another online company selling custom built PC's, overpriced ones at that. Nothing Commodore or Amiga about it to be honest.

If he'd shut up and go away and find a different way to sell his overpriced PC clones than to appropriate the name of something he hasn't got squat to do with, that'd be plenty good enough, thanks.

As usual? I think you're mistaking me for someone else. Most of the time I'm quite considerate and try to keep things civil, often making the point that we are all entitled to our own point of view. You need to chill out buddy, is it my fault that your name was all over the poll? I think not. Please, do tell me at what other point in time I made an "absurd conclusion" or "knee jerk" reaction, I would love to know.

No, on second thoughts, don't bother. Your opinion is of no importance to me anyway.

It's been the site admins that have been publishing stuff about C=USA on the front page.  The few threads I have created since Nov, 2/3 of them, have been off the main page.

My name is all over EVERY option in that poll... Mainly because it was a stupid poll and I decided it would be fun to mess with the results.
