If the issue is that people don't understand you could try and explain things rather than suggesting they're just ignorant and are destroying threads... But let's be honest, emulation is simply a grey area. No amount of "knowing what's going on" is going to change that. Emulation isn't necessarily piracy but it is definitely related and thus it's likely to be criticised for that. Besides, if you feel that strongly that it's derailing threads, well there's always the option of simply ignoring it and just continuing to discuss the emulation instead. |
Yuri and co have been explaining, even providing links to sources of information and there is till "I don't think so" coming from the other side of things. So what are you supposed to say to those that blow up the info up in your face?. It's obvious that one side disagrees, no matter what info is tossed around.
Yes emulation is a Gray area, yet so far int eh discussion of it, emulation has been seen as non gray (with talks of piracy of course, that being the non gray area). Knowing about what is gray area nd what isn't actually does help. Not knowing what is and isn't gray doesn't add zip. It's like some old man coming into a store and blabbering as if he knows all the latest tech in the store, yet a clerk who knows more ends up correcting him, the old man declines the correction in turn.
Ignoring derailment doesn't actually stop the thread from being derailed. In fact we have rules about derailment in general, so it's a bit unfair to say ignore one form of derailment, yet another is taken care of for you, saving you having to ignore once instance of it.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
