Bullshit. In no way did it give an impression of endorsement or affiliation. In fact, the posts specifically said "I compiled," not "MAMEdev has released." I never said I had any official connection to MAME. In fact, almost every affiliated social media account is something along the lines of "TheReal[Trademark]" for this exact reason.
Whatever. Water under the bridge.
