This will run for a hundred pages,get more and more abusive,and in the end everyone will be back where they started.

Not quite. The larger evolution of all the mega-threads over time on the various "official" forums (not mod forums) shows Oleg's customers gaining greater confidence.

Last year the rather mature FB/PF community at the Simhq actually shouted down the snotty behaving members that were attacking those interested in the hack mods. Interestingly, when Oleg was forced out of ubi.com (from lack of moderation), he went to the more mod-friendly Simhq community. Its interesting how it all works out as social behavior.

Think playground behavior with a few bullies among the kids, and the kids finally take down the bullies. The *only* difference is the consequences of snotty behavior are not realized like they are on the street or playground, so the snotty anti-mod behavior keeps going and going like Duracell Bunny, although it slowly winds down as some of the bullies finally stop bullying and enjoy their no-mod sim, or they go mod, or leave the sim, leaving fewer bullies behind.

Think about it. You run down the street calling large numbers of people "cheaters." You do this one time. You never do it again.
