    where in this post do i mention ways of running emulators, web addresses, ROM sites, or anything? hell, i don't even "encourage" it, as my post is clearly saying how bad it runs on a good PC, and thus isn't worth the effort. i don't even bring up the word "emulator" into the post.

    and more importantly, there are perfectly legal ways of emulating games on your personal computer, and nowhere in that post do i even imply that my copy of F-zero GX (or pikmin), which runs like crap on my PC because emulating is a resource-heavy procedure (and not because it could be illegal), is an illegal copy.

    if that post is moderation-worthy, then every time a PC fan brings up how he hooks his wii to his PC and plays the wii games on dolphin, through perfectly legal methods that still require owning the system and the software should be moderation worthy. but of course, they are not, because that would be silly.

    long story short, i feel like the moderator assumed too many things and read what was never written there when he modded me, and i'd like it to be reversed.

    Looks to be in-line with the new rules on emulator discussion. I'll go ahead and reverse it. Sorry for the trouble.
