Cool, sarcasm! :-)
You're right. I'm a troll with some massive testicles. Anything else? :-) Well, I didn't intend to. It's not like it was planned or anything. I get wound up sometimes (about capitalism). I'm sure there's thing in this world that you worked up too. But let me tell you something, Eidolon. The "argument" was productive. I've actually changed my mind about a lot of things about abandonware. I've learned quite a lot from other people's opinion. Espicially KarmaInferno. |

Well, chief, this was a misunderstanding. And I'm sorry things turned out the way they did. I wish they didn't and that we could just move on from there. And no, I don't have any Shadowrun questions anymore, my question has been answered. I'm glad my two PMs didn't bomb your whole existence and put you into a catatonic state. I'm also glad you survived my deep psychological input. |

1: The edit button is your friend. 2: Tell anyone anything you like, nothing's stopping you. You are, however, being a total jackass to people that attempted to help you out. 3:
Yes, I thought of that as well, but figured it was probably too intentional to have ironic value. |

As I said I'm sorry things the way they did. That's all there is to it.
I apologized to Critias in a PM, for my reaction. He decided to ignore it and bash me further. That's his choice. If he can't accept an apology, that's his fucking problem and I'll leave it at that (see, I'm saving my *). As far as your judging and patronizing Eidolon, pfff, what can I say. I got tired of your sermons a long time ago. |

There is. It's called "copyright", and in the US it was once supposed to last 14 years with the option of a 14-year renewal for living authors, meaning you'd get your chance in 2017 (but not with any official PDFs, since those would be protected separately (though not their text, just the PDF formatting itself) starting from their creation—in the case of 1st edition, that hasn't happened yet). Nowadays, you'll just have to outlive the author by 70 years. ~J |

You're half right. I decided to ignore it (because I just don't care what you think of me), but do me a favor and don't lie -- I didn't "bash you further." You sent the third PM (the one with the apology) after I was finished posting to this thread. I respond to lies with insults, but I don't reply to apologies that way. I'm sorry you're sore that I didn't write you back, but don't go nursing your hurt feelings by lying about my reaction when I didn't react at all. Here's a thought -- just shut up and stop the drama. |

Seeker,
The issue here is certainly not about political views, the main difference between you and Critias, eidolon, kage, nezumi, etc is plain and simple: Some years of dumpshock experience. Relax, take your time, lurk a while. Whatever you say, there´s always a chance that it will be set on fire by a relentless horde of nitpickers. (Who might have a point, after all) BTW, i think your thoughts on the free release of this and that are a bit naive. Will |

That's so not the point. It's so obvious that it's pathetic. :D ;) |

Ha! Not as long as Walt Disney's frozen corpse maintains its icy grip on Congress. Nothing more recent than Mickey Mouse is ever going to go out of copyright again. |

Nah, I doubt that. Next we'll probably see works produced for a corporate entity measure the author's lifetime by the lifetime of the corporate entity—that allows things produced by individuals to pass into public domain for plundering, while protecting the Mouse.

Admin post: I think this thread has gone on long enough. It was fun and vaguely on topic until insults started flying. Insults/flames via PM? Not cool.
