There seems to be a double standard here. Posters against DRM can post anything they want and get away with it. Posters with a contrary opinion get attacked personally. Is that the kind of forum we want?
As a rabid anti-DRM poster, I'm fine with Matt saying what he thinks. Or anyone for that matter.

I also don't think anyone should be crying when confronted with a different opinion. Stating such a controversial stance with such.. clarity.. ,and demanding no debate in return, is just not how things happen.

Hello Mr. Dizzy or ...le, or Trenken ?

" ....Seriously, you talk about a backlash as if the subsim.com community is a representable portion all submarine gamers.
..."


You can read much more harsh critics about this kind of DRM on each and every other simulation site, not only submarine-wise .

But when it comes to submarine simulators i guess subsim.com is indeed not only a representable portion, but the statistically significant one.
I know you will not bother to answer as you never did, but guess what i don't bother either. Welcome to my ignore list.

Good luck with your pro-DRM crusade,
Catfish

I have no problem with a good debate, that is what makes a forum interesting. This place would be boring if everyone agreed with each other.

What I don't like is when posters start to use personal insults. My rule of thumb as always been that if you can't win an argument with insulting someone, you don't have a very good argument..
