You seem to think this is a subjective issue and therefore subject to debate. It really isn't.

You are of course free to use emulators in any way and under any context you like (though unlike buying arcade controls etc., playing under the correct aspect ratio costs you neither time nor effort, so why you deliberately force a "Fat Chun-Li" aspect ratio on your games when they weren't developed that way is bewildering). Rather, my comments, and those of others here, are based on your public encouragement - and yes *propagation* of the notion that it's somehow a good idea to do what you're doing, when it simply isn't. It's hard to sit silent and watch bad advice like this encouraging others to do the same, who will eventually give the same advice to more people.
Or if you prefer: privately it's no big deal, but publically it isn't right, and disservices the original developers to boot.
