No... people should just grow up.

A: My opinion is right.
B: No, my opinion is right.
A: No, my opinion is right, and here's the proof.
B: No, my opinion is right, here's the counterproof.
C: Go home B, A has always been right.
D: Go home C, B has always been right.
E: My opinion doesn't count for much, but i see flames sparking... let's fan them.

And then it goes back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth...

-- My dick's bigger
-- No, my dick's bigger
-- No, my dick's bigger than both of yours
-- None of that matters... my balls sweat unicorn tears that heal the sick and end the California drought.

So here's the deal:

Mamesick, uman, B2K24, Haze, Vaughn, other people in the last thread... all of you... you're all wrong. (Is wrong the right word? Don't know... that's all I got right now).

Go back and re-read your responses to people, from an outside point of view... they all come to the same conclusion... my way is better because "x." Honestly.

What it comes down to:

-- There are LOTS of external frontends out there. Try them all, and pick one for yourself.
-- Someone else doesn't like your choice... so FUCKING what.
-- Said another way... I will NEVER own a white car... I think it's a shitty color for a car. But there's lots of other people out there that own and love their white car. You think any of them give a shit what I think of their car. NO. And who the fuck am I to pressure them to get a different color car.

-- You don't like the built-in MAME frontend. So FUCKING what. It's not there for you... it's there for people who will use it the way it was designed. Compared to years ago, when there was NO frontend, it's damn better than nothing. And it works on any platform.
-- You want a better built-in frontend in MAME? Then step up and submit code that will work on all platforms, and are willing to maintain.
-- Can't do either. Stop bitching that some other dev "should do it." Maybe there is no one currently active that is good at the front-end code part. Maybe there is, but they have other things they'd rather work on instead.

Amazing that the most sensible people in this thread are Traso and Moogly Guy.

And here's my MG comment that people can use against me to say that I kiss up to devs. I can't speak to how he's behaved on the dev list, but on forums... going back to 1999... he's mostly been a helpful person. He just doesn't like stupid people, or the self-entitled (please spoonfeed me the help that I'm looking for), and is "more vocal" about it than other people. I guess you could say he doesn't use his inside voice all the time. There are many people here who have never had a problem with him... the rest need to get over it.
