Bringing up the Kent centre when he wasn't working for Amiga during that time and the voucher scandal have no bearing on his employement. He was in no better situation to know what was going on than any of us. There is a lot of old arguments being brought up and because hes the only Amiga employee in range, everyone is shooting at him. He's defended Bills character and made his opinions about the legal case known. Both situations are relevant to his employment and comments about these things have relevance. Anything else is just people venting and I don't believe thats a fair thing to do.

He brought up Bill's character and said we should cut him a break. But he gives no reason beyond some nebulous "(he) is (under) a near constant state of extreme pressure".

So of course he is going to get back reasons why its impossible for us to cut Bill a break without more info supporting his claims. If he wants to have us be sympathetic, despite all that has happened, give us some tangible reasons.

And I did not bring up the voucher scandal BTW. (Were you refering to someone else there?)

The arguments are not old in relevance at all. Kent, OS5 much better than OSX, AA2, these are all events within the last 2 to 3 years. And other ones still resonate because Amiga has never shown a better side to themselves to us. The most credible things to come out of Amiga recently were the hiring of Jamie and Fran. And that has not yielded us anything tangible.

You say (in essence) we should only count issues from his hire date. But the fact is we've been floored by the ridiculous things done before that. If Jamie can make a blanket statement that Bill is ok, we can respond as to why we would find that hard to believe without further info to the contrary. Add to this, the relationship we have is that Jamie and Bill work for a company (supposedly) trying to sell us goods one day, where we are potential customers. In such a relationship we can ask as many of the hard questions that we see fit. Thats business.
