I'm softening my stance a bit on this, but I still feel like [stella]
doesn't "want" to deal with things that bB specific. If someone posts
a question about the generated ASM code, or kernals or ASM snippets
embedded, or wants to brainstorm in language neutral terms about how
to do something (this is the category of thing that made me change my
mind) with the 2 players, the 2 missiles, the playfield and the ball,
that's all well and good, but I don't see [stella] becoming a bB
resource specifically.
But...well, we can metadiscuss all we want, but it all comes down to
how people "act" (if anyone posts bB stuff) and how people "react" (if
they answer or try to defer or the AA group). It doesn't sound like we
are collectively ready to decide that bB is unwelcome, so we shouldn't
have authority for any net.cops to chase bB-talk away.
