And if a person is unable or incapable of boxing, be it from hardware, location or whatever, do they receive an equal benefit as someone like you or I that have extra 60 characters that we could use?

Fair means equality for every single person who plays. The American Declaration of Independence holds the line "All men are created equal" yet never mentions slavery and the people who benefitted called it fair and just and tons of other synonyms.

I know that is an extreme example of how fair and equal can be made into relative terms. We can call anything fair and it is quite probable we could convince ourselves it really is fair. Hell, I might even be completely wrong in my assessment of the consequences of boxing, but I know for sure that 100% of the people playing on Red can play one character. 99.9% isn't good enough to change the rule in my opinion, and it might not even be that much.

A lot of international players were getting screwed by lag in TT until recently. If something like that occurs with boxing would you fight to get it fixed for them or would you just ignore their problem like everyone did about the lag and box every second you are ingame?

As long as one person gets left out my principles do not let me condone something. (Not including myself, I do not take myself into consideration.) HB if you were the only person on the server who couldn't box, I would fight and argue to have boxing removed until they fixed your problem or permanently if couldn't not be fixed. I would do the same for almost anyone, even Tune and he is the opposite of just about everything my principles stand for.

Once more, I could be wrong about this whole thing, but I tend to be proven right in time, even when I wish otherwise.

I'll leave the subject be for now. If people cannot see the possibility of dual-boxing going wrong and what that could cause, I don't think anything I say will make much of a difference.
