Thank you for your candor. I never said it wasn't a great game.
However, I do see huge abuses at play here and I feel the need to
inform people. If you are that much in favor of being abused and
stolen from and you are aware that it is going on, then more power to
you. Thank you for not taking the common stance and slaying the
messenger. Others should know what is toging on.

Yours was the most mature and reasonable response of all!
