The last message in the thread:

Around and around this endless debate goes.

Those who steal will always try and find validation.

So I think we will move on

And the thread was thusly closed. I don't even see an attempt at justification in that message. I didn't post anything in that thread, nor have I even read the whole thing (just to make clear that I have no personal axe to grind here). So I could be totally off-base and maybe there is a glaring violation of forum rules in there (I'm going to start from the start of the thread in a minute, as soon as I'm done with this), but Kiwi's tone seems extremely high-handed and a little insulting. What gives?

Its a tiresome debate of which there has been countless threads.

They achieve nothing except waste bandwidth.

Insulting ? no
