Due to major misunderstandings (distortions): The community work that DeadCode does is indisputably exceptional and I believe that this is not the point of the discussion. I learned a lot from him, observing his skills in replays and even playing together in the Team17 scheme.
The main criticism is aimed at the pseudomoralists who are selective in their questioning rather than impartial. It is easy to dismiss legitimate concerns and label them as "crazy accusations" when they involve someone with high status in the community.
No one is saying that someone's skill was conquered illegally, but completely ignoring any possibility of advantage or special convenience is naive. This is not about frivolous accusations, but rather about reflect how supposed practices can be veiled and tolerated depending on who performs them.
It is known that cheating should not be relativized or encouraged, but I see that many people are limited in the interpretation of texts here or do so in a biased manner, distorting the narrative. Dramatic people and those exaggerating the seriousness of the game usually rely on long and endless discussions to appear more moralistic than others. Eventually, It's satisfying to see MonkeyIsland intervenes and removes responses when things get out of control.
And if anyone reading this feels offended by this statement, it's because the shoe fits.
For me, it is no longer worth fostering this discussion.
