X2: Nobody is calling you any funny names. ........ --- End quote --- I'm going to have to disagree with that. Several people have called Xiaou2 "Xiaou2" in this thread. Pretty clearly calling him a ---meecrob---. (The search function even suggests it.) This happened well before this latest blow up and searching the term, it shows up in a couple of other threads, too. Maybe I should have reported it, but I'd like to think that we can disagree like adults. I can see the points of both sides of this thread. But I don't think either side is going to be persuaded to the others view anytime soon. Time to cool off indeed. --- End quote --- I agree. I think some of the attacks on Xiaou2 in this thread have been uncalled for. |

--- Quote from: Grasshopper on January 09, 2011, 09:54:19 am ---For example AdvanceMAME, which you described as a failure earlier in the thread. I disagree. IMHO it remains the best version of MAME to date and would still be my first choice if I was building a cab with a CRT monitor. I think it's a tragedy that the features of AdvanceMAME were not incorporated into the official build. --- End quote --- I think the difference is between the end users v. the programmers and that the two groups often don't have the same desired outcomes. |

I'll start calling him deathpuncher instead if you're ok with it. --- Quote from: Hoopz on January 09, 2011, 10:21:40 am ---I think the difference is between certain end users v. the programmers and that the two groups often don't have the same desired outcomes. --- End quote --- Best summary ever, but I had to edit it a tad, hope you don't mind. |

We can refer to each other with abbreviated names for ease of use without being insulting. Xiaou2 is pretty hard to remember how to spell but X2 or X would get the point across with out the deliberate insult. |

Actually, it's great addition. |
