But there's no rule saying others can't say "Stop Thief!".  
Does that annoy you?

Ah...  That explains a lot.  Your brain's been in a coma.

You and RosyWanker have been sniffing the same fumes, 
evidently.  I suppose there are developers out there who hate 
seeing their works ripped off, but can't justify the expense 
of filing suit.  So they get upset.  You see no monetary 
damages being done to them, but wonder why so many Apple II 
developers finally just leave.  That's harm.  Understand?

Your assertion that the law is irrelevant just shows what an 
arrogant fool you are.  We have a lot of your sort about 
here.  Your type stink up the place.

Justify it to yourself if it makes you feel better.  We know 
you're a Turlette.
