who wants hellfire?

[Tal]

Cant you keep your "standards" to your self?

No I can't and I don't see why I should have to keep them to myself. Especially when I know that they are shared by the other members of the Lounge. If you don't believe me here is the sentiment of the Administrator of the Diablo section of the site:

The Lounge is not an abandonware or "warez" website. As such, we'll happily tell you how to get hold of a game legally, and we sympathize if you have difficulty locating it. However, we will not distribute the software illegally. If we made exceptions and distributed software (for free) to those who had difficulty obtaining it, it'd be inconsistent to not offer it freely to those who can obtain it commercially. The Lounge is not going to do this.

If you had read this you would have not felt the need to tell us to keep quiet on this score.

He just wanted to know who wanted hellfire... if you dont want the game dont reply?

Evidently you haven't gotten my point yet. I understand that he was asking who wanted hellfire. I also comprehend that you feel we shouldn't reply. I get it - really I do. I'll gladly take a polygraph, swear on a bible, or spit on a penny if that is what it takes to make you realize that I "get it". I "grok it" - if you don't understand any of the other words I've thrown out.

But you don't understand me. I belong to the LL because its a like minded community. Its been an anti-cheat, anti-warez haven for years. When somebody comes in trying to upset this group norm then it is up to the group to explain and defend those norms. I speak up against the warez offers, not because I'm afraid of the law. Or that Sierra is going to break down my front door to take a pound of my flesh for having a warez copy of Hellfire. I speak up because as a member of this group, I have a right to speak up. You have a right to continue to tell me and others to not reply when the warez carrot is dangled. We have every right to ignore you and continue to uphold the group norms. Do you see where I am coming from yet? Do you grok what I am saying yet?
