Okay thankyou. No need to say that so sharply. 
I had a motive different to the ones you mentioned Legato, and that was hatred. Hatred for racism. My example wasn't just an example, it's what I'd do if I could. Only recently did I bother to try and re-learn everything, after I saw one of the KKK sites. One day, I hope to take it down.
So, just saying.  ^^

That's true. Some players find joy in playing the game, some people find joy in hacking the game. Personally, I did enjoy getting certain reactions from people when I reloaded, PKed, FSODed or on a rare occasion corrupted a person. It wasn't so much that I did it, just how they responded to my actions.

I didnt mean to speak sharply. Again serpent, you have to define racism and the degree to which it is carried into action. This is something I have learned over the years, some of you may call me a free radical but hey thats just me...
For example, if you think racism is judging other cultures before we know them, that is as I hate to say it part of human instinct!
Back in prehistoric times, when man was split into tribes just like any other species on the planet (Lions in seperate prides will fight) we developed the instinct to fear what we do not know, this was for survival. If you met another tribe back then they would likely kill you to wipe out hunting competition in the area! So to offer yourself openly to them and create vulnerability was un-acceptable. So from this we can see that anyone who says they have never had a racist thought is lying, because we all fear the un-know un-intentionally.
The problem is the same as with elitists and pso, its ok to fear things but overcome that fear and do not become closed minded mobs just as the KKK were in your example Serpent. Attrocities are commited when humans fail to see other humans as part of the same species. They let fear rule their decisions and they let mutual reassurance lead to the deaths of millions. We cannot be to accusing of people who are fearful, but at the same time becoming too fearful ourselves will undoubtedly lead to the pain of others.
Be cautious, but keep things in perspective! Relating this to PSO, it is only a game after all!

Yes, yay! Great definitions, and thx for telling about all this info. And of course, thx to Revan, I learned to stay away from the populated(maybe hacked) ships. For the most part, no damage! Thank you Revan.
BTW Sephiroth, did we not say to not speak badly of hackers?
Edit: Sorry bout the last part, got side tracked on PSO at the time....

Sephiroth Now and Lee, I have deleted 2 posts a piece by you in this thread. I ask both of you, but particularily Sephiroth to behave, or I will be forced to administer a warning. Thank you.

yes please this is not inteded to be yet another thread for slagging off hackers. If you have to do it at least speceify the hacker rather than generalising! And state a valid reason to, not "OMFG this one hacer FSODed me so they all suck!"

*edit* Heh, sephiroth's post was in my email. Pretty funny.
[ Edited out ]
Edge you can edit that out, but I'll just give my two cents on his statement.
Hackers don't play the game to get high levels. That's something an Action Replay user would do. Ya know, I have gf and for your information I don't hack stuff in my basement cause there no computer down there and I'm afraid of spiders xD. PSO is a game, people take it too seriously. "power" doesn't come from levels, but from experience. Any hacker who actually knows what they are doing is very powerful in their own way. Not in the way the game intended but in a way that not many people are. The only "fool" is you for believing that because someone hacks a game it makes them some sort of twisted anti christ of it. I know we aren't supposed to have flame wars, I don't want to start one, but I hope Seph gets a chance to read this. If you don't want my post to stay go head and delete it. It doesn't matter to me
