If memory serves, Felix was in the service of his country for a good many years up until recently. Having been in the US military myself, I can confidently state that the US military (and most any other military in the world, for that matter)
is very black and white.
Granted it has been many, many years since I was in their service and I imagine that things have changed considerably, but orders are followed. There is no grey area with regards to orders and there is no compromise. Although I am very hesitant to use the term "brain-washing" it is a very similiar concept.
It can be quite challenging for one who has lived under the black and white umbrella for so long to accept compromise when that word hasn't been in your vocabulary before. Transitioning to a civilian lifestyle isn't easy.
I fully expected Felix to respond as he did, and would be quite surprised had he not given our previous banter in various different threads. Perhaps given that batter, I could see the sarcasm and humour in his original post for what it was; not an insult or intended to be more fuel to the fire but targeted more at my MS-supportive nature. (Of course, I could be way off base on that, but that's what I chose to take it as)
Anyway, I'm still pissed about the whole DRM issue, but I still have no intentions of using P2P to re-aquire the music I have already purchased. Call me stupid or dumb, but I just can't do it.
And Felix, I'm still supporting M$ (see, I can abbreviate
) In this case, they are not the root cause of this problem, merely supporters.
