[Summary: Sometimes it isn't the Amiga users fault, but because of other
people's attitude toward the Amiga.]

 Exactly, sometimes when I mention I have an Amiga to others, I get
the "oh, that toy" remark. If someone calls my Amiga a toy I am
going to defend it. C.S.A.Advocacy is meant for flame wars so
restraint isn't expected or required, however in other groups it should be.
Primarily, the "What should I buy, Amiga or XX" posts are the number one
flame getters, and I think a protocol should be established for
answering them (like in email).

 Don't blame everything entirely on Amiga users, it takes two people
to wage a war, not one. There are a few fanatics who start wars,
this in turn leads to counterattacks from the other side (Mac,IBM) this
causes the honest fun loving sane Amiga owners to respond. One person
can drag many people into a war.
