I now You understand My thinking.
Your messages is not a answer to my posts!
It's only more meaningless words.



I tried to take the time to give you a thoughtful response. In return you accuse me and Zardoz of knowing what you (really) mean with what you say but not answering thoughtfully anyway essentially. Thats rather unfair.

Well, I think it was pretty bleeding obvious that my post was just a humorous response as opposed to an answer to your post, so...

Please stop your complaints about moderation or that the mods are a problem here (Yes, in almost every visit you make some sort of remark about this without even trying to back it up).

If you have any kind of proof PM any of the mods or as allready suggested DaveyD.

It depends. You cannot really go to a thread called "Should Amiga inc pay former employees?" and expect to get constructive discussion in the first place. If you go to the AA2 thread instead, you'll see that while there are people who don't like them, there is constructive discussion going on. Saying that the moderators are part of the problem is completely silly. Moderators are people and people have opinions AND the right to voice their opinions. The moderators would have been "part of the problem" had they been letting their opinions influence their moderation, like silence people liking Amiga Inc. Do you see that happening? If yes, please contact DaveyD.

You are just as welcome here as anyone else. We want your opinion when you feel you have something of value to add to any discussion.

We all have opinions. Some you will agree with, some you will not. What is not welcome is to criticize others for their opinion. They have the right to their opinion just as you have a right to your opinion.

You are welcome to try to change someone's opinion, but do so in a constructive way. Challenging that other people's opinions are based on mob rule or mentality is not being constructive.

It is OK for you to believed in Amiga, Inc. and BillyMc. This is an OK opinion. Myself, I am torn between wanting to love them and wanting to hate them. People are very frustrated with the lack of progress for so many years. The failure to give licenses is a big one in many people's mind. Just remember that losing favor with Amigans is Amiga, Inc.'s fault no one else's. If this was a public company I am sure the leadership would have been axed long ago.

So, when you defend Amiga, Inc. with all the frustration they have caused you can expect to receive many strong opinions in return. Even so, these other opinions should be treating you with respect. If you feel someone has broken the TOS just click on the AR button. The mods simply cannot read every post or know all of what is said in every thread. Just be sure you are not taking a knee jerk reaction. Try asking them for clarification. Most of our members do not mean to cause trouble on the site.

English is not the native language of many of our members. We have members from all over the globe. All these different cultures think differently. Some speak softly, some speak rough or bluntly. Each one answering the same question or statement with the very same words will strike each of the rest of us differently. Don't take things personally because probably 99.9% of our members do not mean to offend.

Thank You for Your's very good message!!
I agree the much of it.

But I think if "my" company have a 8 years silencetime and survive this time and
come to do a comback, than I am happy. But here is the must of writhing members not happy(?), the do everything (with word) to smash it back to silence or to the ded.
It's very funny...I don't understund this....

Is'it true that a members waiting and writing here in 8 years? Have You no life? Or what?
This 8 year I have very fun ! I programming and build windowsprogram. I sell lot of them and make money. It's fun!

And here it's end to the big OT.

I'm quite sure that most of the people on this board, whether they agree with your opinions about Amiga or disagree with them have lead their lives over the past 8 years just fine, whether you think its funny or not to make fun of those who disagree with your opinion that they are likely to have no life in your opinion. What assumptions about your life should anyone make about you? None right? Exactly.

I think you mean funny = strange, not funny = laughing. But, let me tell you that most everyone here wants Amiga, Inc. to succeed. People are just frustrated with no progress after all these years. Add to that the bazaar behavior Amiga, Inc. displays by promising things over and over and not delivering. In my upbringing this kind of behavior from a child gives parents grounds for correction least the child grow up not knowing the truth from fiction.

In the public's eye the "Kent Affair" sure did not help Amiga, Inc's credibility either.

No, I have not been on this board for 8 years. I believe AW is only about 6 years old. I joined in 2003.

Yes, I have a life. Right now I am waiting for the sun to warm the frost off the ground so I can go out and play in the dirt.

Erm..I don't think the fact that even current debts are not being paid is helping their credibility either.


From 1st page of this thread:

Quote:
I've generally spent the last couple of years trying to get money or stock from them for about 6 months of unpaid work. He always comes up with the same stories (next funding round, 2 more weeks, bla bla..).
I know another ex-Amigan who worked full time and is still owed (to my knowledge) about 50000 USD (which was actually worth a lot more here back in 2001 then it is now!).

I just want to warn Jamie that in case Bill starts talking about funding rounds or investors, please quit the job and find something else sooner than later.
