Traders have an awesome responsibility. Our very lives are in your hands. If you value our friendships, then stop trading, but if our lives mean absolutely nothing to you, then trade away.

At least I will know, when the bullet enters my brain, that your trading will have depleted the very resource you require, which is other traders, as they will also be dead as well.

Remember that for every action you make, you must accept the consequences. If you trade, expect to inhabit this world by yourself...

However I do have a "grudge" against traders for a number of reasons. Seeing as you're so knowledgeable about my posting here I won't bother to write another essay about it because the whole issue bores me to be honest. But I will point out my main problems with trading .

You make me sound like a stalker lol. I am only knowledgable about your posts because I also posted in the thread where you called traders scum and I happened to remember it. I have checked the thread again and in fairness you did say later that it was an overreaction.
I am sorry that you feel that I quoted you selectively, that was not my intention at all. The reason I mentioned the quotes that I did was because they seemed to sum-up the hostility that most anti-traders seem to feel towards traders. An example of this is this thread itself - are traders hypocrites - yes, no, trading is gay. With poll options like that this thread was not designed to lead to a discussion but would inevitably lead to confrontation. You have a group of friends who seem to post in each others threads and you generally appear to hold the same views. Looking back I am probably guilty of doing exactly what I have accused anti-traders of doing which is believing that all anti-traders are the same and as such when I quoted you from a previous thread I genuinely felt that those quotes did sum-up the way you felt about traders.

Staff and members work hard to make those sites what they are and when you sneak in you're spitting in the face of every honest member.

People sneaking in to sites is like spitting in the face of honest members? -you have lost me completely there I can understand that trackers have rules and if you break them the staff have every right to kick you out, but I genuinely don't think most ordinary members feel like that. TBH the majority of members will never have any contact with me, nor I with them so why would they care where I got my invite from.

There have been a few posts since I posted in which people have defended your integrity. I wasn't actually accusing you of trading I was trying to point out that not everything is always black and white, and that is how I believe many anti-traders feel about traders. Again I apologise for lumping all anti-traders together and assuming that you think in those same black and white terms.

As for calling Puckface Fuckface, I didn't read his post properly, he insulted you first so like you said you can insult him as much as you want in return.

The main reason I gave up trading was because I had made friends who I trusted and who trusted me. As such I wanted them to know that the invite they gave me was going to be used by me and not given to someone else. I think The Fox summed things up quite nicely in his post when he talked about invite trees being deleted and the responsibility you have to others in your invite tree. However that doesn't make me feel hatred towards other people who are travelling the same path that I travelled. Threads like this only seek to polarise people, if you really want to change the habits of people you need to befriend them and talk to them, not insult and belittle them.

When do you think they will start to issue death sentences for tracker staff though?
Is that something currently in the works in the U.S. or any other countries? ;)

It's already started... Anyone here remember the Stepford Wives, where women were replaced by replicants perfect in every way, or BladeRunner, where replicant humans were created to do the dirty jobs that normal people didn't want to do?

I believe it is happening now. Cloning facilities that are producing specific clones for one purpose only. Take Scott McCauseland, the former admin of Elite Torrents. It is my belief that they assasinated him and replaced him with a clone designed to plead guilty. Any self respecting file sharer would have given the judge the finger.

I believe that OiNK (Alan Ellis) will be assimilated, if he hasn't already. When the case comes to trial, the replicant will plead guilty, whereas the real Alan Ellis would stick his finger up at the judge.

We are living in an age where it is easier to replace troublesome people with replicants specially crafted to do what the bosses want. No longer will we have freedom of speech, unless that freedom parallels what the bosses want. Any deviation will result in an assasination, followed by a replication.

Any one who disagrees with me, must be a replicant. It stands to reason...

Hands down The Borg are the best bad guys invented throughout the entire Star Wars series -- including the Capt Kirk years. Super cool.
