I take it you also avoid Morphzone then?


.. and next to that please provide the thread where someone was moderated for raising valid questions about MorphOS, Pegasos or Genesi.

You know as well as I do that there are no such rules, and you know what kind of storm it would rise on other forums if we moderate someone for asking sensitive questions.

EDIT:
Not that it would help in getting answers... seems like BBRV has stopped visiting MZ

Added to this: I find it strange that something what obviously exists can be called Vaporware. Vaporware is "just hot air", meaning it does not exist (though OS 4 is not the only thing wrongly on the list, it seems... I guess Halflife 2 also really exists in some at least already playable version, hehehe :) )

You'd then better read their official definition of Vaporware over at Wired. By Wired standards, OS4 is still Vaporware.

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.

Quote

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.

Quote

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.

Quote

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.

Quote

What Nate said was 100% accurate.

No, but lets not get into that again, it has been covered ad infinitum.

Quote

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.
Hate figure. :lol:

Two untruths here!

 ~ I hadn't made a comment at AW, in that thread, so its not a "whole website full of people laying into one guy" at all!

 ~ What Eyetech market currently (the XE motherboard) is different from the MAI Rerference Motherboards!
Different Firmware, different CPU, etc.

As the design progressed pictures were posted to forums indicating differences!

Look on the bright side, everyone.

@vortexau

May I point out that the CPU is not part of the motherboard, nor is firmware part of the PCB reference?

Not picking on you in particular mate, but just look at that sentence. It sums up this entire stupid thread.

enough with the Eva bashing.  

I'm not endorsing any particular comments of hers, and I'm aware they can be controversial at times. but in all the years I've been here, I've always enjoyed Eva's contributions to this community.

I bet if I put all of you together in a room the keyboard warrior attitudes would go away.   Leave the bickering for the companies, not the people.  Geez, get over it.  I personally dont give a crap what is vaporware, who says what..is it REALLY that important?  

Now go and give each other high-5's before I test this beta mass-ban button. LOL

But I want Half-Life 2 now....

A mass ban button, hmm. I wonder if we can work that one into the upgrade. Or a flame blocker, works sort of like a spam blocker.

I'm quite amazed (and glad) that Eva has done some contribution for this community more then all the spinning, trolling and shouting at every's chance possible on  AOS4. But at least this shows that she too can be a normal  person if she really wants to...
