and there it is, the double down lol

Gross, dude. Listen to yourself.

The next time you get charged $200 for an early termination, I hope you think "I'm happy the shareholders didn't get hurt".

Fuck's sake.

That's... that's not what they're saying.

Any defense, devils advocate or otherwise, supporting early termination fees is disgusting and unacceptable. It's not really important how they spin it.

No, the point is hurting the aristocracy is good, and I like doing it. This is just intellectual honesty. Taking your opponent's chess pieces is an aggressive behavior, but it's still a good thing if you want to win.
