@Theodosius

You could have awaited my reply to your PM. It seems you are kind of trigger happy in all kind of ways. I am sorry this happened.

OK, if you want, I am going to put that post of yours up in a different thread. It will be totally unmoderated. There will be a link to that thread from which it was taken from. We'll let the poeple decide whether what was written was necessary to have remained. Don't complain to anyone if the the users start trashing your post. Nor will I accept or process any Abuse Reports filed against you or by you or for you.


1. The thread was locked away and forgotten many days ago now. In amigaworlds IRC-style posting culture, this mean it's ancient history since a long time back.

2. My reply was to some corporate representatives that I have seen (IMO) mudslinging (repeatedly) and accusing certain *other* corporate representatives of bad conduct online. Don't missunderstand me. I respect their full right to have whatever opinions they like, and also posting it here or otherwhere. I like discussing things online. My main point with my (removed) post was to point out that "bad conduct online" isn't quite as unique to only one party as they tried to make it look like, but goes for other corporate representatives as well, and that scars will never heal if someone constantly scratches them.

3. Creating a new thread for my reply would be a very strange thing to do. Doing that would look totally silly, out of context and strange, it would look like an attack instead of a reply and this would indeed cause people to get upset. As you probably noticed if you read my post, my intention was never to upset people, only to point out that not a single corporate representative (from *any* company in this community) has a flawless track record on "online conduct", they have all been similar bad in the past, and they are all similar good since a year back or so. That's all!

Quote:
Why am I doing this? I just read your cr4p over at moo. I decided to protect you and even stated that it was not trollish. Seems as though you just can't control yourself and have to nag like a four year old over one bloody post...


A. Thank you for your kind offer, but as you see from my reasoning above, it would be a very bad idea, no point, and I have to decline (however, I spent a great deal of time writing that post, and if it isn't too much to ask, I would like it as a PM so I can paste it the next time the situation calls for it).

B. As far as I can remember, I have never, ever been moderated, on any site. I take pride in my online conduct. I spent around half an hour writing that post, carefully choosing the wordings, and a few seconds after I post it, you delete it. You may think I am overreacting, but I think you haven't got a clue about how insulting that is. I demand no special treatment, just a *fair* treatment.

C. You can't "unmoderate" things. You simply can't, no matter how much you want to. And moderation often have more negative consequences than positive consequences, sometimes an entire avalanche of consequences as seen from this site, but also others. You should have that in mind when you moderate, and you will have to live with any consequences your actions bring!

D. With the above in mind - You moderators here are *waaay* to trigger happy, sometimes moderating things without thinking it seems. Many things of "the cr4p" you see over at moobunny are caused by summary moderation on this site. In fact, that very thread "was created" by the moderators on this site. Less is more when it comes to moderation. Take part in the conversation and try to steer it your way, instead of killing it.

Funny thing was, when it was at its worst with campaigns to get all links to amigaworld.net removed from other sites and the site made an outcast the visitors to the site just kept growing and growing at an ever faster pace, along with site traffic.


Funny thing is how the site came to be. Some time back I had very difficult to picture myself being here because of that reason. I came here some time back, ignoring the warnings from others, thinking what the h*ll, it's just another amiga site, right? But I can't say I think it's fun being here now, I realize more and more that this is a very strange place ...

I appreciate the difficulties in being a moderator, but you would have it far more easy if you "only" took on the role that a moderator has on practically all other sites, where moderation is something extreme, the very last resort, not something you do a couple of times per day just to make worth for your moderator status.

See my reply to "Theodosius" in this thread.

You can't "unmoderate" things, if you try to (like this?), it may only become worse. So be careful with the knife in the first place ...

I am sorry, but I don't like the idea of "abuse buttons" at all, to me that feels like being an annonymous informer to some kind of secret police.

If I have something to say, I like it better to say something straight up.

@Whoever wrote this:

BBRV was (as was others, like Fleecy, Ben Hermans, Alan Redhouse, etc, etc) very present in Amiga forums some year back or so. And you, of all people, should know how impossible it is to post things, outline new directions, suggest things, etc on public forums in this community, without upsetting a lot of people.


There is a mile of difference between "suggesting things" and posting other people's private phone number in a public forum with the intent of getting this person harassed by their own BF's.

There is a mile of difference between "suggesting things" and openly posting private email, without actually asking for permission.

Sorry, this is not about the usual posting that would be considered controversial. This was about threatening people, giving out private detail. If you can point me to similar postings from Fleecy, Ben Hermans or Alan Redhouse, I would be *very* surprised.

Quote:
Whatever certain people say, there is always some people who will get upset in some way and throw #### at you in one way or another


Well, if I would tell people to pirate MorphOS, or demand that someone somehow "make it available" on the AmigaOne, this is not "suggesting things" but rather (in my book - maybe other people's idea about this varies) a call for piracy.

Quote:
However, you two seems to be of the opinion that this is something that goes for BBRV only (and I think we all can understand why).


You either willfully or accidentially miss the point. I wasn't talking about different opinions or directions, but about direct threats, breach of confidentiality and a call for people to break the law. If you can point me to where I did some such thing, I'd be very surprised.

So please don't sell me for a fool.

Quote:
Whatever you say about BBRV, I can easily mirror it back to Ben Hermans, Alan Redhouse, Fleecy, etc, etc


Tell me a posting where Fleecy leaked a private phone number.
Tell me a posting where Alan Redhouse called for others to pirate software.
Tell me a posting where Ben Hermans leaked a private email.

If you can, I'll grant you have some point. If you can't, then you don't.

Quote:
But I must say that I think it is a little ugly, and it gives a bad aftertaste, to see you two (as the corporate representatives you are, and for OS4 as well) descending down to the level I talked about above by constantly repeating that mantra of yours at every single chance you get, fueling any fires that would have burnt out long time ago if only some people wouldn't prevent that by constantly fueling them.


I think I have said multiple times that I don't represent any ####ing cmpany, but it seems that some people cannot udnerstand that. Again, if you can tell me any real proof other than that general chit-chat, go ahead, otherwise don't tell me nothing about "levels" - you have't seen me playing it ugly. If I really wanted that, things would get a lot meaner.

For crying out loud, I never posted my opinion about MorphOS because I ####ing have none. I never seen it, never used it, and have no intention of ever doing so. I have never seen a Pegasos except at some shows. I don't like Genesi's policy, and I don't have any sympathy for their head honcho, and in fact I never made a big deal out of that. What I don't ###ing like is when people like takemehomegrandma or redrumloa post this on forums that I seldom or never read just to be able to #### around with me.

Then why didn't you swallow yours before you wrote such a ####.

Show me one single post where I was ranting about Pegasos, Genesi or MorphOS ? Just one ?

No ? So don't go to Moobunny and tell people there I would. I normally don't read Moobunny for sanity reasons, so if you want to dis me, do it here or shut the frell up.

I'm really fed up with this ####.

Repeatedly? I don't think so. You will at most find three or four postings by me on the topics of leaking out private phone numbers, leaking private emails and asking for people to pirate a product.

You cannot refer to me there, because I

A. am no coroprate representative.
B. have never asked people to pirate other company's software.
C. have never leaked any private email
D. have never leaked any private phone number.

Maybe next time you could consider writing me a PM instead of trying to throw me to the friendly crowd on Moobunny for dissection. Thank you.

Yeah, that's going to be fun on Moobunny. I didn't try to read the other posts there to keep my blood pressure down, yours was already enough for me to get it up to 180.

@Thread,

hey hey hey.. Easy now.. Take a step back. Turn around. And walk away. It won't make anyone happier trying to explain all this crap.

Man .. I thought all this had passed. That good times was acommin'. Seems I was wrong. But anyways, I had totally missed that first thread that got locked, but now I had to visit bunny and read that post. Now I'm just nauseous.


Belive me: Ignorance IS bliss.


Let me know when this place is safe again..


p.s.
@Hyperion (and their contractors ) Keep up the good work! With OS4 the Amiga shall rise again! Hallelujah!

What a load of cow-pies!

Maybe you should do some behind the scene investigating. Then you might find out exactly how unscrupulous BBRV are!

They have damned themselves with their own words and their own actions.

They insult people in public AND in private. They live in a deluded universe where everything revolves around them. The only reason they are "quiet" at the moment is because they are hoping to return when they think it's safe and everyone has forgotten.

Well, I NEVER forget. and I NEVER forgive. I'll be right here, reminding everyone of their stench.

@TMHG

My take on this type of thing is that your post was never meant to have appeared. When the moderator has called time on a thread, anything posted inbetween the thread lock announcement and actioning can and should be removed. It was removed retrospectively. I'm sorry you have a problem with this, but if yours had stood, no doubt someone would have PM'd me to insert their reply. This has already happened to me in the past and I've been in numerous PM's with people bitching about not being able to reply to someones posting.

When the threads locked...its locked, end of story.

Unproven "MorphOS is based on illegal source code" from Hermans, anyone?


URL 1
Quote:

1) In my opinion a a lawyer, MorphOS violates the intellectual property of Amiga Inc for which they paid 4.5 million dollar. It's a well known fact that the MorphOS people are using the OS 3.1 source-code.



URL 2
Quote:

Let me repeat it: as long as MorphOS allows for OS 3.x to be installed and OS 3.x compatible products to be run, it will constitute "unfair and parasitic competition" under German law.



URL 3
Quote:

MorphOS: is a product which is considered to be illegal by Amiga Inc.



The last quote also suggests that Amiga Inc was with this slandering game.


Cant say I'm particularly happy with Genesi either. But at least the development teams are doing their best.

Unproven perhaps. No let me make this clear. This accusation was based on eyewitness evidence from a respected person, as you know. However, what was actually witnessed is open to debate.

For those that don't know this is based on someone seeing original source code comments from Amiga Inc IP material in some MorphOS code.

Now this was all that was seen and does not constitute, in itself, a breech of copyright. A reasonable suspicion is not proof of course, but then nor is raising this in the form of accusation wrong in itself.

Let everyone please be clear no damning proof has been found and this may be entirely based on no more than a breech of coding etiquette.

The accusation has been denied, though it has never been clear to me who the coder that was responsible, it is entirely possible that no one is lying in sorry little issue and no IP has been misused.. Moreover, whatever was there may by now no longer exist in any form and any IP issue long sidestepped.

In the entire sorry episode other than denials and accusations (now running both ways) there was no attempt made to investigate the accusatiion. It is just another one of those God awful messes.

SO:
It may be a case that a breech was made or was not, but the accusation was not made without evidence.

Conclusion:
Yet another storm in the tea cup.
