I think I was a bit quick too, but this is how I make my posts. To the point and with some profanity. I tend to either end up being banned, or become a well-respected member.

As I said, not the intention of my post. Saying that I cracked the executable was an example of the BORA (Break Once, Run Anywhere) principle. It's only hard to crack a protection scheme once. If a tool has been made based around that knowledge, cracking the same scheme is a 'Push the button' thing.

I guess there's a different language here concerning that, but what I said would've been a common way of phrasing things on many other forums, maybe you should bear that in mind next time.

I was going to say I should've read the FAQ or the rules, but I don't see this anywhere. Besides that, my initial post stated I had a full install of Windows 2000 on VirtualBox, so Windows apps were not out of the question. I ended up using two of them anyway.

She is discussing things now. You accused me of stealing credit for unSafeDisc, because you misinterpreted my use of the word 'cracked'. That's one of the few times in recent years that I've felt genuinely offended. After you gave out what I interpreted as a direct insult in response to a request for assistance, I didn't care if you were the President of the United States, you were getting a verbal disembowelling.

I was going to respond with a similarly insulting post, as I felt the week-long ban was an abuse of power that simply added insult to injury, but I decided not as this seems to be a misunderstanding.
