Yeah, yeah, yeah... MY point is we don't have to be nice to pirates.

BUT!  We don't have to let YOU assholes decide on which battles "really
matter".  I'm not ABOUT to let YOU decide MY morality.

Throw up your hands if you will.  Must humans recognize that the "small
stuff"  accumulates.  Seabirds shitting on islands in the Pacific
eventually build up mountains of guano.

Well, why the fuck do WE have sit here under the drizzle of the Turlettes
shit waiting for it to bury us.  Screw that, Nick.

Do you get the idea yet that we don't give a fuck what you think?

> sweat it. Otherwise there is too much useless noise happening and it clouds

I'm not going to let you be the judge of what's useless either, Nick.
You haven't demonstrated the moral backbone I would want for such a
judgement.

So.... What ARE these wonderful issues that are so terribly clouded?  I
really want to know.

> getting ripped off, persue it, otherwise let it slide so the discussions  can

And if we refuse to accept your little dichotomy?  We have a whole RANGE
of actions we can take.  Not just "pursue it or let it slide"...

If it costs more to pursue it, we can let folks know what the thieves are
up to here.

You can point a gun at a thief, never intending to fire, and I'll bet it
has some influence on thier behaviour.

Sigh.... The DEVELOPERS are the productive folks.  The REST of the field
are the users who show thier appreciation, either monetarily, or by
expressions of thanks (ya know... _Commercial/Shareware_, _Freeware_)

All else are leeches... parasites.

I wish you weren't so damn stupid about the matter.


Bye!
