There's a massive difference between arguing with an old classmate from the 2nd grade, and dog piling and kicking the shit out of a the new kid that just moved in from out of state. The latter transfers schools.
The guy wanted to stay in compliance with the law. Which... when I read the T&C, this site doesn't condone any discussion of lawbreaking in the first place. It's his inanimate chattel, who cares what he does with it.
Why that pisses anybody off is beyond me. It's not a two sided ethics argument (e.g. declawing cats). Nor is it legal to import hi-caps into Colorado.
