You're joking, right?

If not, then I'll say the same thing I said to Trenken, and the same thing I said to MattDizzle.

It's perfectly okay to be for something, and it's perfectly okay to be against something. This thread was started well over a month before the game was released, with a simple question. Some opinions were stronger than others, but that's always to be expected. The only two(?) people to start pro-DRM threads immediately called any and all anti-DRM posters "whiners" and "crybabies". Then they both(?) retreated into the stance that they were being attacked for simply stating an opinion of the game.

I fully disagree with the the children who slam those who bought the game as "suckers" or "supporting the evil". Yes, I know I seem to have done just that a couple of posts up, but my quibble was with giving them the money and then claiming to refuse to support it after the fact by not playing it, not with the actual purchase itself. I'll joke with those who said they wouldn't but then did anyway, but I won't demean them. We are all free to choose for ourselves.

And it's the same here. Not very many are attacking those who "say something positive". In fact you won't find any of that in the threads about the actual gameplay. But when you come to the thread by and for people who are determined to oppose what we see as an oppressive measure by a corporation against its best customers and belittle us with "but logic is not the strong suit of the anti-DRM crowd", you can't turn around and complain that you've been hit with a 2x4 for "saying something positive about SH5".
