I would interpret a meaningful discussion regarding legal issues of software piracy to be reasonably on topic in here. Name calling obviously would not be.

I'm voicing a concern about credit card handlers. Any other shareware author who isn't aware of this problem has a right to know about it! Like f**k I'm not going to voice it where they can read it and know about it! Much better me speaking out about this than you telling everyone who reads this echo how to rip people off with credit cards, don't ya think??? Duh........
