It's great to see you call people with different opinions "loons". It's just exemplary for your hypocritical self-rightousness. You could go over there and try to start a sensible discussion, but you prefer to call them "loons" from a distance.
A sensible discussion? On aw.net?
Happens all the time.
Have you even read that thread you're talking about? Is that what you call sensible discussion?
Do you think this is a sensible discussion? My personal view is that this thread ( except I am here to point out to those readers who are not frothing at the mouth that you and your friend Kenny are exaggerating ), that one and any criticism of Nate over this is pointless, tedious and a bit of a waste of space. If his employers think that his remarks, coupled with his position, have put his company in a bad light that is up to them to deal with it.
A whole website full of people laying into one guy,
That is a lie. I count 8 people on that thread viewing Nate in a negative light on ethical grounds and 1 borderline "laying into".
That is 8 of 1800+, of which approx 250 are inactive and 2 duplicate accounts left.
just because he happened to state some facts they don't like.
Misrepresentation. If Ray Akey or some other non senior Amiga Inc figure was quoted on Wired slamming and exaggerating vapourous Genesi promises you would sharply get the "ethics" point that is being made.
What Nate said was 100% accurate.
No, but lets not get into that again, it has been covered ad infinitum.
They're behaving as if it's his fault you and your company have completely failed to deliver what you promised.
Another lie.
I suggest you do a bit of reading when you are calmer and perhaps more equitable in your own views and try to provide some supporting evidence for your claims, if you do see any level of viciousness and victimisation report it to DaveyD.
For two people that are so rabidly anti-amigaworld.net ( KennyR and yourself ) you sure visit it a hell of a lot to remark about it on other sites. Odd behavior I think.
Take note of my only comment on that thread, the last one, before you start aiming the vitriol cannon at me.
Dave.
