Make of this what you will.
[11:24:33 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> And really, what's the big idea with instigating fights with people for no reason?
[11:24:39 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> Not once, but TWICE!
[11:24:50 PM] <Tired> Fights? I'm the offended party here. Oo
[11:25:09 PM] <Tired> I was just sitting there, minding my own business, and people start throwing hissy fits at me. =)
[11:26:34 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> You weren't even mentioned in the first thread till you came in and started attacking Gundam. oO
[11:26:56 PM] <Tired> Which thread's that? The one attacking jK? =P
[11:27:25 PM] <Tired> You have to realize that I don't check the forums on my own - people link me threads when they think injustice is going on, and I spare 5 minutes of my time to save the day. Oo
[11:27:42 PM] <Tired> Took hits for XHC and WarC both back in the day, before they went crazy on me.
[11:28:27 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> So who was it that had you flip out on smoth's work then? Oo
[11:28:37 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> Oh, wait. Never mind.
[11:28:41 PM] <Tired> None of your business, although I know who it was. =P
[11:28:50 PM] <Tired> I tried hard to help smoth in early '06.
[11:29:40 PM] <Tired> He wasn't receptive, though, and trash talked everyone that wasn't him, so I lost interest. Now, if he harasses his betters (those who care about players), then I can send him into a rage with just a word or phrase.
[11:30:18 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> Can and should are rather different words, don't you think? ~~
[11:30:59 PM] <Tired> Different, yes, but much as validity and truth produce soundness, capability and application make the world a better place in this instance.
[11:35:33 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> I fail to see how dumping gasoline on a forum flamewar is beneficial to the world. Oo
[11:35:47 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> Not that the thread shouldn't have been locked.
[11:35:51 PM] <Tired> Simple - it gets everything out in the open so no emotions stew.
[11:36:02 PM] <Tired> Also, it's a form of punishment for those who get easily riled up.
[11:36:34 PM] <Tired> The moderators here are biased - they only punish what suits their selfish interests. As I said the day they appeared, they didn't belong here.
[11:38:17 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> If you say so. ~~
[11:38:31 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> More importantly, as for the Zenith, if what TRO tells me is correct, your implied argument that it being in Talon is as much stealing as you putting it in TiA doesn't hold water.
[11:38:33 PM] <Tired> You wouldn't keep asking me about these things if you didn't want my opinion. =)
[11:38:53 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> The Zenith isn't a renamed Czar - it's just a generic metallic donut with a death ray.
[11:38:56 PM] <Tired> Of course that's what he's telling you. He's a liar. Oo
[11:39:12 PM] <Tired> Read the literature yourself, though, on GPL and derivative works.
[11:39:43 PM] <Tired> Possibly, he has rights to the specific elements of the script that make it turn. That's it. Even the textures are strictly derivative.
[11:39:56 PM] <[LCC]KingRaptor> Is Talon GPLed?
[11:40:29 PM] <Tired> Sure - the parts of it that aren't stolen and the elements of code that aren't based off of other TA scripts.
[11:41:16 PM] <Tired> If whoever holds TA's copyright withdraws their permission for him to use their copyrights, though, then the race won't function.
