That the file protection was hacked (an individual act which I consider disrespectful to the extreme) just made my resolve not to use any mods even harder.




I do not agree with everything Copperhead posted and I don't think his tone is helpful. However the provocations were started by a few selected mod-proponents - at least as far as I know - and I am convinced they have been started precisely for that effect - to undermine the "reputation" of people opposing the mods by luring them into posting inflammable comments. I do not know why these people took that road or what exactly they hoped to achieve, but I believe that these few individuals have made the rift between pro- and anti-mod much wider and deeper than it would have been without them.

Yup. and i swallowed, hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, and fishermans arm.
Sigh.
