I get what you're saying, but when the mods are clearing out tons of posts a day, and they know that 90% of the time the guy is talking about pirated content, then it's hard to give people the benefit of the doubt.

To be completely honest, I would love to suggest to people like OP to "walk into traffic" as my first reaction. I know deep down that there are lots of legitimate VPN users, especially got getting around geoblocking (which is typically "fair game" as long as the origin of the content is legal). However, I also know that OP isn't one of them, and I honestly don't care if a fly-by-night user gets their feelings hurt.

But then again, I'm kind of a horrible person.

Thankfully PatK isn't like that, and the worst he did was just make a reasonable assumption and link to the rules. I assume the "go to heaven" parts were tongue-in-cheek. He might be wrong (really doubtful), but he wasn't rude. It's not really about moralizing, and yeah, he's exactly allowed to say what this site is for. That's something he's been specifically empowered to do.

I'm not talking about 'giving people the benefit of the doubt' Ned.
Not in any sense.
And I'm not talking about that user.
If you think my post had anything at all to do with him / her then I've expressed myself badly.

If things have changed here and this site is now only for a particular group of people - as opposed to some discussion being off limits - then I've missed that memo.
