In response to post #39525245. #39528920, #39529290, #39529630, #39533865, #39542225, #39543125, #39543345, #39543435, #39544400, #39545515 are all replies on the same post. I have to agree, over censoring anyone's comments is detrimental to the debate (unless they are just outright nasty insults etc). As much as I don't agree with a thing he said, the dialog we have now is going to set the tone for how this is handled long term. There are vocal extremists on both sides of the argument, but this isn't going to be solved by those people because they wont stop "shouting" at each other. If we (those of us opposed to mod theft) want to talk about ethics then we need to behave in an ethical way and lead by example. I am tired of justifications for mod theft. I am tired of "PC Master Race". I am tired of the antagonistic rudeness instead of open conversation. This is what will make mod authors walk away. Probably not your die hard, highly skilled authors but those of us who do small things just for fun, to join in, be part of the community and share. It's the middle ground in this debate who will just get tired and walk away from all of it.
