It's called "arguing in the alternative," and it's a complicated thing best left to grownups. What me and Salty are currently in the processes of is establishing where he stands on account dealing.
If he is happy with accounts being bought and sold, discussing the feasibility of banning the practice is a waste of time, because he doesn't want it stopped.
What's the point of discussing how to stop murder if murder is desirable?
Like that, see?

@erikalui; Quickseller: The trust system is an issue, tho not the one this thread is about.
If you could take the trust discussion to an appropriate thread, that would be nice.
