@simply-austin said in Exiting a Game from a Keyboard with no Escape Button....:

I am starting to loose patience with both @psyke83 and @BuZz . I have been nothing but reasonable on here and yet even still each post is just another personal attack on both me and my reputation.

I don't understand your reply, Austin. I have not attacked you - personally or otherwise - or impugned your reputation. In fact, I was not trying to make a value judgement on anybody's stance on the topic of piracy. However, when we are representing the RetroPie project, we have an obligation to distance ourselves from casual discussion of the topic like I see on many sites, YT channels, etc.

All this over a simple request for help on a simple tech issue? Not once even a "sorry, slight over reaction there".... instead just an echo chamber of "you are damaging RetroPie and Emulation.".... "But dont take it personal", we dont mean any of these sly digs, things taken out of context to try and move away from the fact you was just asking for help. To map a ESCAPE button....? "again, its not personal, not sure why you would think that?"

Come on man, the topic clearly veered off topic, after you resolved your original issue. The attention from moderators came because your post was flagged, and since you ignored @buzz's original request on your channel, he used this opportunity to talk to you about the promotion of compromised ROM-laden images.

You can police and talk about anything you want, its most definitely your forum. But when you make things personal, use double standards with your own platform and idiolagies, try to use things as ammunition on YOUR public platform to justify your villainy of me and complete over reaction to this... I do take it very personal.

You are free to continue using this forum as long as you don't break the rules. If you were to post a YT video that talked about third-party images with pirated ROMs, in the same way as the video cited earlier in this topic, we would have to take measures by at least removing the links. We were simply trying to open a dialogue with you on the potential problems. We were not making a judgement on your character.

Would you like it if I did the same on my platform, treating you guys as exactly how you have treated me in public?

Please try to read our dialogue with you charitably, just as we're trying with you. We never insulted you, and I'm sorry, but we did not make any kind of judgement on you personally, but only some of your past content. If we saw people attacking you on our forum, we would take action to prevent harassment.

Maybe you should be aware that people who post to your Facebook page are making personal attacks on members of this forums, using slurs such "c*** wombles". Those kind of ad hominem attacks are not really helpful, wouldn't you agree?
