Steve, you wanted me to explain why I made that post before. I have. Please take a moment and try to understand why people would find HansTWN's post insulting and alienating.

I'm trying to bridge the divide here and help some of you understand what your statements sound like. And yes, Steve, I am talking to you too because you can't see what's wrong with what he said.

The people who he called greedy are, at the very minimum, potential customers (some of them, anyway). Insult them and they will never be a customer. Thus, his post is self-defeating.

And if you think he's only referring to pirates, sorry Steve, but I feel he also hit me with that label (and I pay for my content whenever I can).
