It isn't slander if it's true, and it's true. You even admit it in this post.

You distribute MAMEUI, people use MAMEUI, MAMEUI influences the reputation of MAME. I can talk about you all I want, you are playing a public role and one that carries a heavy weight of responsibility. What on earth do morals have to do with this? This is a nonsense statement.

Let's flip that around, if you were doing an excellent job instead, and I said you were doing an excellent job, as I have done for MANY people, would you be screaming that I shouldn't be talking about you at all then? I've only been full of praise for the people involved in things like the LCD games for example, strangely enough they haven't said I'm not allowed to talk about them and started making nonsense statements about me having no morals.

It was a good example for what the person was asking about and directly relevant to MAME, so I used it.

Does it stop becoming a good example of why it's bad just because you did it?

I'm sorry you made it possible for me to use what you did as an on-topic example? I mean that's about the best apology I can give you.

Reputations change. Back in the day I would have praised Guru and recommended people send things to him, these days instead I have to absolutely make sure nobody does because the way in which he acts, and service he provides has changed. Again, since he is filling a public role that people rely on and are putting trust in, that is important information to convey.
