Incomprehensible Reddit rant about MAME

[Malenko]

+1  I  totally agree with this.  It is unnecessary and cruel to compare a disability with idiocity.   The two should never be compared, especially in a public forum where misconstrued assumptions can be made to promote attention.  The poster should apologise and remember words are like bullets shot from a gun: they can hurt and wound and can never be taken back.   

Aren't you the one who said it was a good thing that kid drown trying to swim across a river?

What I did say was that the kid who drowned should be made an example of for other children to learn from, so that the child's death would not be senseless.  GrayArea was making a  the same different point and got banned.

I modded my sig BTW. 

I stand corrected on that one point.

. . . but you still shoot your mouth off.

I only aim for idiots.  But if I did hurt your feelings with my honest replies to your stupid comments, I will try and be more of a well behaved BYOAC netcitizen.....

I have blocked this  unfortunately I can still see quoted reply.

He is a total waste of space and after a shandy he gets a little mouthy.

Take my advice, and add to your ignore list.

Wish I could, but sometimes it's important to be able to see the bad advice being given in order to put the record straight.

He definitely seems to get off on making us devs feel bad for what we're doing but as I've said before, life is full of cases where people could have done more but didn't and as a result knowledge / culture etc. was lost.  We attempt to be impartial and pragmatic in our work and only if you take a very shallow view of what we do / say without actually understanding the project can you call it hypocritical.

I understand that Haze, and he has got getting peoples back up to a fine art.

I have nothing but respect for dev's, be he has no respect for anyone or anything. He is just the forum TROLL and  (I'm pretty sure that emoticon  was invented for him).

I don't know why he is here - I seriously don't. There are plenty of other forums he could troll on, and I don't know why he does.

One thing is for sure, it's the usual 'hiding behind a computer screen' stuff - I'd love to meet him one day.

Guess I was right about you being weak minded.

No you cannot ignore me, as you are exactly in the same mindset.  You cannot suffer fools, and stupidity just makes you angry.  That is why I get creative with my complaints about the mamedevs, as there are so many dimensions where  their lack of ethics impact the industry.  MAME cannot hide behind popular public opinion, forever.  Some responsibility will have to be shouldered.  I'm glad you are no longer connected Haze, and still an outsider.

Always off to a good start when it's a reddit thing.

Got about 2-3 sentences in, skimmed it, threw up into my shirt. Haven't been back since.

Autism speaks, apparently, and I want it to shut up.

As the father of an Autistic child that is mostly non verbal that comment is highly offensive.

That is ban worthy in my opinion, it's sickening that immature people feel it's humorous to take jabs at the expense of the disabled.

This forum just reached an all time low for me.

As cousin to someone that's autistic, I'm sorry that you found offense in my light-hearted jab at the previously mentioned redditor.

I understand the kind of effort and energy that goes into raising an autistic child, nevermind getting them into the realm of general acceptability in public.

However, this isn't a shot at you or your son, or anybody with an autistic kid. It's a shot at that redditor. Nobody else.

Your reaction however has been noted, and I'll be a little more careful in the future. My apologies.

Well done!

Now that that's settled, can we get back to panicking over the huge fines we are all facing???  I mean c'mon people, PRIORITIES!

Did you share them? Jeebus forbid you used bit torrent , because then you are worst then a murderer, sir!

What fines?  The only guy that is going to get his turkey cooked is a frequent lurker to this site.  This guy has been the prime instigator well after 1999, overseen countless crude hacks and shoddy coding.  The rest of us are scott free, but we owe him our gratitude, for without him we would not have our collections.

I love the way back machine.
