Now can you do the same for me? ">You are rationalizing your action with your disdain towards CTF. To you it doesn't matter what happens to CCC if at the same time the CTF is to stay alive. Your "love" and devotion for the CCC is less important than your feelings towards the CTF." No my love for the CCC is nor more nor less than my discontent with CTF, it just means that i won't pay for CTF to be maintained. When something is completely free then people can do with it whatever they want, but when they ask me to pay for a service i have the right to refuse if i would be paying for something that i do not agree with, is that unreasonable?? BTW i am not rationalizing "my action", i am rationalizing, period...
