It has been brought to my attention via PM that some people find these posts complaining about what SecuROM is doing on my computer offensive. For that, I have to say that I'm sorry. Not for posting them, but for people believing that a registered member, with legitimate problems, shouldn't be allowed to complain.
To the member I'm hearing from, I don't appreciate the attempts at censorship you are laying down. None of my posts have violated the TOS of Ironworks Forums. If they had, I'm quite sure I would have heard from a moderator by now. If something in a post offends you, please feel free to report it to a moderator. I'm sure they'll take appropriate action. I haven't seen them fail at it for over 6 years now. Perhaps you'll find that, in doing that, it's really not my problem, but your own.
To the mods, and the general public on the board, no, I will not disclose the member's identity. In my understanding of the TOS, so long as I'm not attacking other members, or posting Warez sites, I'm within the bounds of what is allowed here. I don't recall ever being called down here by a moderator either.
In so far as I'm concerned, if my legitimate problems with Atari bug you, then don't read my posts, or, comment publicly about them, so that other members may either agree or disagree with you on the topic, instead of attempting to silence me through PM's.
The links above are a very real problem I'm having with SecuROM, when it should really be inactive on my machine, since NWN 2 is uninstalled. This is intrusive. If this fact makes you feel guilty, or makes you mad, I have no control over that. I'm not in a position to go buy other burning software, and, contrary to opinions to the contrary, Atari should have no say in what other software is installed or used on my computer.
If my being aggravated about that bothers you, then I invite you to comment here, or to quit reading my posts. If it bothers you that bad, it may be bad for your blood pressure. Far be it from me to have my legitimate problems cause any one any strife.
