I have been more than respectful to the Mame team - in fact I have been accused in the past, on these boards, as being TOO gushing with my appreciation.
This isn't about Mame development - it's about Moogly. He's been an asshole on the forums, and not just to me. So when he throws his dolls out of the pram, rage-quits, and then acts toward his fellow developers just as he has against forum members - he's due no respect. All you can do is laugh. I mean, it was only a matter of time. Turns out he's done it all before.
On the other hand, I was not the one talking about respect, and I never brought it up. I simply replied to someone else who mentioned it, as though respect from assholes has some currency. It doesn't. I don't think the word "respect" should have any real meaning on a faceless forum. Today's respect is tomorrows train wreck.
I never started this childish thread. I wasn't the first to have a joke at Moogly's expense. And I wasn't the one who first mentioned "respect". I have no axe to grind with Mame development specifically. As I've said, I've posted more than once about how grateful I am. However, that doesn't mean Moogly isn't acting like a child. Hell, it's people like him that bang on about "the community" and how stretching a 4:3 game to 16:9 is destroying it, and he comes on here and posts publicly about angst behind the scenes. It's hypocracy.
The thing is, there's a good number of people here who don't like me, or have "respect" for me if that word works better for you. Well, whoop-de-woo. I don't even know you. You don't know me. So Moogly doesn't like me, so Anikon doesn't like me. it's okay, I'm over it already. Moogly doesn't give a damn whether I like him or not. It's all grist for the mill. Why are you taking things so seriously? Lighten up, get tougher skin. Moogly wrote some Mame code, does that give him immunity for being called out when he's acting stupidly? I think not. He's dished it out in the past, what exactly did he expect with his rage-quit post - tears?
Here's a thought - if you don't want to be laughed at, don't post a rage-quit crying about things most of us have no idea about and expecting....... what? All you're doing is opening the door.
in the mean time, Moogly will be back soon enough, and we can all pretend he didn't act like an asshat. Happy days!
Now, back to some gaming.
