I may be a knothead but I will not flame you for this.  If I get pkilled it
is a part of the game.  It is also what makes this game so interesting. 
The monsters are predictable, the other players are not.  Personally, I
play nice, but I have no serious problem with players who do not.  The risk
that the guy next to me may be up to no good is one of the reasons I play
multiplayer.

I don't care much about Townkill.  So I lose some gold, I get over it.  The
only thing that makes it worth it for these guys is to hear your whining
afterwards.

These self righteous bastards who come into my game to accuse me of
cheating are becoming tiresome.  I was clever enough to invest in elixirs
and they weren't.  Dr. Diablo, as I understand it, makes a attributes to
level comparison.  It then implies that someone is a cheater if the
attributes are to high.  There are ways to up your attributes without
cheating.  Do people who use these programs know that looking at another
players stats and inventory is not a part of the game and thus cheating? 
If you cheat for defense, no problem, but understand that is what you are
doing and know the difference between protecting yourself and attacking
someone else.

I've heard people bragging about how they kill low level players with hard
to find equipment and then taking this equipment away.  This is justice?  I
help out a newbie, they feel good about the game, and then some cheating
(the game doesn't allow you took look at another player's inventory)
pkiller comes along to spoil it.  Now a player with a formerly positive
outlook is pissed and is less likely to help or trust other players.  This
sort of justice is at least partially to blame for the current atmosphere
on battle.net.

If you want to use external programs to protect yourself that is your
choice.  Do not use them to decide who deserves equipment or for that
matter who deserves to live.  If you use them in this way you are no better
than the cheaters and pkillers you whine about.  At least they know what
they are.
