Continuation of HAZE and ark-adr's legal conversation re: MAME, etc.
PL1:
Where's the "Send this thread to Post Hell because ark_ader is turbo-trolling" button?
OP from original thread has the answer on the legal matter he asked about (No MAME box, no xx-in-1) and I don't think AJ will find what he wants here.
Protip for ark_ader: Even if you think you hold the moral high ground, flinging poo like a chimp is not a good way to win the hearts and minds of readers.

Even if the chimp is right in the first place and wrong in the second?
Moral high ground?
No sir. I found it apt that we were both in similar camps.

Then stop complaining about how black Mr. Kettle is, Mr. Pot.
Even if you think you're right, you are driving people away from your case by the way you present it.
If the ASPCA put out an ad showing Hitler petting his German Shepherd with text that reads "Even Hitler loved his dog. Find a new friend at your local shelter.", what kind of response would it get?
My bet is that most people would focus on the Hitler part instead of the pet adoption part.
I'm suggesting that you should refine your communications skills if you want to convince others instead of alienating them.

PL1:
Hitler was used in the example because I'm pretty sure we all agree that he is a Really Bad Guy.
No equivalence was implied between ark-ader's posts (or anything else related to him) and Hitler so Godwin's Law isn't really applicable here.
Thanks for playing, Fursphere. :lol
BTW Godwin's Law did go through my mind when I was writing that.
