I know that many people use hacks to improve performance on slower machines, while it is still hacking, it is not considered flagrant cheating like botting or use of maphack.
And yes, people's posts do affect me. I'm going to craft the old fashioned way now because I now believe that Blizzard hid the numbers for a reason.

First off, Foxbat's program improves client side visual effects. It does not give the user any game advantage other than better frame rates.
This is in a completely different realm than server side hacks like maphack. You are using a program to gain information that the regular user is not able to take advantage of.
To be fair, I understand you are not trying to troll, but start a civilized discussion. But please do be aware we've spoke on maphack multiple times, and at the end of the day no matter what is said, is our opinion as a community going to be changed on this. Our personal opinions (more or less) reflect this policy.
Whether its killing a person, or stepping on a toe, both are inflicting pain; a hack is a hack, no matter how serverly it hacks.
