@Skyraker
And I still got an email from Ben where he threatened to drag me int court
over voicing my opinion/suspicions.

No imagine Ben would have gotten sued everytime he spread unprooven stuff
about the competition.

And I even ain't "competition", quite on the contrary: abck than I was still
pro-OS4  :-o

{this is from a CEO remember}

Hi

Skyraker, do we know each other? Have you spoken with me before? What do you think I have done to be described as a "prick?"

Do you have enough guts to meet me face to face somewhere? I sure would like to come to Stafford next week or in January and you could explain this to me. We could be in the UK for a number of reasons. How about it?

There has been plenty of challenges and difficulties for our Team to reach this point. We have been good to our word to everything we have said and done. I would really like to understand how you could feel this way about me when you do not even know me.

whole thing is just a shame...makes me feel like this community is worthless now.... Skyraker thats messed up.

the magnanimous nature of business is lost due to the size of this community I suppose but its just sad  it seems everyone takes this personally.... I mean... this is "ALL" opinon...its forums...I think "WAYNE" should put up a disclaimer that anything typed in these forums is opinon...or something... people take this 'way' to serious sometimes...

?????? That is all ?

From your rants I would have expected something a bit more agressive.

He just asks why you insulted him, and if your men enough to say it into his face.

Now do the same with Ben .... but make sure you got a good lawyer ready  ;-)

Well Sir I am no Liar.
I just Know what is going on

Remember folks
Bplan/Genesi/Phase5 are the same people who brought us the
WarpOS PowerUP war.
they did not want a standard PPC Library
for any PPC Board only an Library that worked on Their boards.
They are only willing to  offer AOS V4 support if they where the only board to have it.

remember in the open letter to the community
Telling eyetech to abandon the Amigaone.
Then they would allow AOS V4 be ported to Their boards.

Kurt

It seems everyone has his private souvenir from some parties. Mine is from a Hyperion employee telling a rather specific thing will never happen to MOS as he (they) will prevent it, and a few more hints on OS4's merits over MorphOS. All this because I made my email address available when once posting on ann. I never asked for that letter, but yes, it was among the many decisive factors to purchase the Pegasos/MOS over AmigaONE/OS4.

Hey! Now I see it crystal clear. PPL bothered by MOS fanatics buy AmigaONEs, PPL bothered by OS4 fanatics go the other way. I get it now. :-)

If any Joe wrote that then fair enough but cmon Buck you can not expect people to accept threatening comments in messages coming from someone in your status,

Madness and disgusting,

You may / may not be a complete prick but sending silly messages is a outrage,

Report him to his ISP.

Oh yea, the "Uneducated American" thread on Ann.lu, kind of funny when it turned out to be a European he was directing that towards.

These companies sure are $%#$ rude to a shrinking userbase.

If they arn't alienating the userbase with licensing restrictions, they're taking in money for nonexistant t-shirts, or outright insulting the users. makes Microsoft look like the "good" guys by comparison.

No those were directltly targeted at me (I even forgot "foolish"),
in the "I know the exact number of NBs bPlan has"-thread.

And what did I do to deserve it ? I just asked Ben to either proove his claim
or to STFU !! I even tried to explain to him that such trolling would only hurt
his cause. I mean if he had been right about this, leaning back and waiting
for bPlan to crash is all he would have needed.

@paull-gadd

no it's fair enough, i did call him a prick (and i stand by it) , nevertheless it was in passing, he's not a forum user, he';s a ceo of a company.....

Let him visit (name and adress supplied) , i'm not scared of anyone (except BA barraccus)... it's just not pukka behaviour for a CEO...

AI and Eyetech may be hush hush, but theyre not engaged in GWB diplomacy as BB is (cant speak of genesi as a whole)... perhaps I should bomb iraq, i dunno?

It's a question of who you going to buy your hardware from,?

Your position is easy to understand. And yes, these impressions last long. Bill Buck is a rather interesting fellow. Infantile at times. I personally will never step forth to protect his own actions :-)

I wonder what is going to be next from these unfriendly Amiga companies? death threats, comments against family members, email bombs, spam, racist remarks, and other non friendly messages,

You disgust me.
