Some choice words and pretty much dead on IMO.

Here are a couple:

The mindset manifests in many forms, but what it boils down to is this: a sense of entitlement that users should be able to do unsupported things and yet still be supported. That it makes no sense to expect support after taking unsupported actions is why I’ve found it baffling.

The point isn’t that you shouldn’t hack, or that you don’t have the right to do whatever you want with something you own. The point is that if you hack, you’re on your own. You can’t do unsupported things and expect to be supported for them just because you think these actions should be supported. It’s that simple.

I have to agree with what he writes as well. The sense of 'entitlement' is what has constantly bugged me about the whole situation - not the fact that people are hacking.
