Ever have a argument with an Amiga fanatic?
« on: October 30, 2015, 04:17:45 PM »
Just curious here.
Since we seem to frequently re-hash old debates here.

It can get as painful as a discussion of religion or politics.

I would say pretty much all of us have at one time or another, no?  ;)

I like that.
Substitute a mirror for the monitor and that could be me.
There are times when I think I have supported BOTH sides on a argument.

But really guys, I mean like, say, disagreeing with Franko.
Or anyone else who is assured that they hold the keys to enlightenment (and they don't agree with YOU).

Oh, and no disrespect meant to Frank, I actually miss the guy here.

I'd be happy for AmigaOS to survive in any flavour. Anyway, isn't it normally Atari fanatics we have to deal with?

Well, they don't seem to be too confrontational since the decided to go with a really dead ISA (Coldfire).
Makes PPCs look attractive.

Although I DO have a Freescale Coldfire development board with a text version of EmuTOS on it.

Nope, right now we have seen the enemy and they is us.

I miss Doommaster.  The arguments with others more recently, Franko, et al, leave a bad taste in my mouth.  But Doomy was just plain funny.  ;)

Ah, Frank had his humorous moments.
Although the squirrel stories were getting a bit old.

BTW - If anyone is curious, yes he really is that fascinated with the tree rats, he posts about them to this day.

You can all blame Mike for this one. He made me log in.


Iggy,

Sometimes when I'm busy on something at work, I find myself humming that song.  Think I might have a problem.  ;)

Sure, I'll argue with anyone, even when I agree with them.

I tend to stay out of the threads that get particularly heated. Partially because I don't like having to get up to speed with the 26 new posts since I last checked it, but predominantly because of this :)

Sometimes I'll even draft a response, then think of this cartoon and stop myself before hitting the post button!

Ah, Doomy. The hilarious ol' days when he'd pop up under a new alias within a day or two of being banned, swearing that he's not the DoomMaster, but knows him really well! :lol:

I thought fanatisizm was pre-requisite to joining this club.  Well, I'm not of course.  :)
