The question, tom, was if you could be so kind as to provide to me some kind of explanation how it's cheating (as you claimed) but isn't considered illegal (which you never said) whereas other forms of cheating are considered illegal with regards to the games in question.
In short; how can it be cheating if it's legal?
I'm going to be honest and say I really don't think you're so stupid that you don't know the difference. You can't be, no one is. You've gotten to the point of lying and flip-floping in a desperate attempt to save face. This has gotten so boring that if that wasn't your last post then scouts honor this will be mine on this subject.
If you want to have the last say after this by all means. But it's like schooling a quadriplegic in basketball. It gets old winning so much and I'm bored. So for you only RoM let me explain, as simply as I can, the difference.
Not all forms of cheating are illegal. There are different types of cheating. The dictionary listing you cut and pasted had eleven. Your breaking a rule is not a law. The context of the word illegal was brought up in terms of the law, not violating rules (ie an illegal forward pass in football). If you try to say it wasn't in terms of the law, you'll only be lying once again because you yourself admit it's not illegal and you know your violating ToS.
This is a moral type of cheating. The example I've used SEVERAL times like cheating on your wife. It's not illegal (a crime) to do that either. How about lying? You lying about me saying card counting was illegal was not illegal in itself, though totally immoral. If you lied about it under oath in a court of law then it would be perjury which is illegal.
It would however be considered illegal to cheat in the game by say trying to hack into the servers in SE to alter information. In this case obviously the illegality would be in the computer hacking which was the method of cheating that was chosen instead of parsing which is what you chose to do.
You knew all this already. Your looking for a way out of this ass beating, just take it and go. I do look forward to kicking your ass again in future topics but for now you have two choices:
1) Bow out gracefully
2) Lie again or try to double talk yourself and others into thinking you were actually right about an issue you were dead wrong on.
Good Day Sir.
