 You gotta be kidding?

It is not necessary for any of us to ever explain why posts are moved, edited or deleted, but I wish to try to explain to you that the purposes of these Gnutella Forums do not include assisting people in the effort to infringe upon copyrighted material.
These editing actions are not part of something which is a particular 'hang-up' of mine or the other moderators.
They are the rules and the rules will be adhered to. |
Surely you realize that I was telling people not to steal copyright material? It was, in fact, sarcasm? And the link pointed to a satirical article? Let's try this again: I said "You gotta fight for your right to rip off other people's stuff!" How can you not understand my true intentions?
And you must know that Gnutella is used quite frequently for that very purpose? That CDs, movies, and software are the main things being "shared"?
I ask that this post not be censored. I did read both your post and the link.
Your closing statement was in no way obviously intended as sarcasm. It is sometimes difficult to understand that the words you use may be crystal clear to you and raining mud to others.
Hey, I do it all the time!
Further, let me assure you that none of the moderators wish to delete posts. But, there are rules and people must respect the rules and the other people using these forums.
