Yes & I don't believe someone posting on a message board that hacks are bad, has ever infringed on that right.
But why single out members of the MAME team, why not anyone who asks for feature changes to an emulator? Because it's all the same thing.

I think thats a bit melodramatic. Nothing will change, some people will still hate MAME no matter what we do. So how things are done will not change dramatically because there is no real need to & it will only harm what we do.
Guru will still moan every time a dump turns up the minute a board has been bought and delivered. If you troll on mameworld about how emulator x is better then we will still say why we aren't going to code it the same way.

Anyone who is passionate about what they do will appear that way sometimes. As long as the discussion is purely about the technical merits then that is fine. Because neither side learns much without debating things like that. Coding in a vacuum is the worse thing you can ever do.
