Troll much? LOL!

If you read the donator page which I linked above and even quoted, I already pointed out exactly how wrong you are. All donations are for individual devs to use as they like. The point of it is to allow the community a way to say thanks. It clearly states that devs can use the donations however they like. See my post above.

I admit that Dax's post was a bit abrasive, and as far as I know, he still isn't an official member of the dev team. He was given that title on the forums due to the amazing code submissions he has made to make everyone's emulator experience better. I certainly think this community would be much worse off without him, so please try to show some respect. Until you have improved the emulator more than any particular dev, I don't think you have the right to call them out on what they have done for the community.

The problem is that the people with dev titles have worked hard for them and for someone to come out of no where and try to ruin their reputation, that is just plain disrespectful, immature and bad for the community as a whole. Please try to keep your mouth shut unless you have direct proof that someone is doing something wrong. Pissing off the dev team is a quick way to ruin this great project for everyone. I certainly hope they all know to just ignore posts like this that appear to be a troll looking only to cause trouble. This is exactly when Mattmeck would normally step in and lock down the situation.

Sure, Dax was a bit rough in his post, but I am even having a hard time keeping myself composed when I read through this thread. And it takes quite a bit to get me set off. He basically said everything I have been saying, but in a less political way.

The community is made up of many smart people and I hope they are able to give this whole thing a few days and see what happens. We have lost some very valuable people in the past couple of days and I will not stand to lose more because of such stupidity. I will defend them all with every bit of my reputation (as if I have much of one) until I hear reasons not to.

Please try to show some respect. These guys already don't get the gratitude that they deserve, and they certainly don't need trolls trying to make matters worse.

I realize that you might thing you are doing the right thing posting what you are posting, but for the good of the community, please stop.

The sad part is that just a couple of weeks ago I made a post saying that this community had been drama free for quite a while, then almost immediately after, the drama started again. Here's to more peaceful times.
