The whole thread came about, once again - by the OP, who admittedly went into personal debt to buy an X1000 and OS4 without doing his homework about what is or is not supported onboard by the hardware by the OS. He then went on a tangent about how he was going to sue Hyperion and A-EON because he didn't do any fact checking.
After he got laughed out of the building on that, he became an ardent MOS supporter and was buying a SAM 460. He proceeded to go to Morph Zone with tinfoil hat on head and pretty much alienated himself there as well.
When anyone points out flaws and insanity in his logic, he whips out the "I AM A LEARNED AND JUST MAN DUE TO JAH AND REGGAE!" and posts links to some reggae video that for whatever reason to him seem to explain away the fact he went into hock buying an expensive computer without checking what it could or could not do. Pretty much the gist of it, and it makes the old Doomy antics seem sane, lol.
And I agree, the factional nonsense is what's hammering the nails into the coffin of what is already a very skint amount of collective users in the Amiga scene. It's mutually assured destruction and has caused people to retract from the community, if not the hobby itself.
Then again, maybe I'm being too logical. If something is too costly, or doesn't do something that I require, I simply don't purchase it and refrain from polluting the scene as a whole if I can avoid doing so. Personal choice is a truly wonderful thing, and there's enough options in this day and age to have everyone covered regardless of what they prefer.
