I never pretended it was anything otherwise. I have no issues with xiaNaix either at this current point in time.
And yes, that is correct, I never talked to anybody from Team Xecuter (except for xiaNaix whom keeps saying he is not involved so I'll take him at his word), only m4xw did, and I prefer to keep a safe distance from these kind of groups to begin with - for reasons I have outlined before and don't wish to repeat. I stick to homebrew software and I don't concern myself with hardware hacking or anything of that nature. That is a clear line in the sand I draw from a legal and moral perspective. Even if these people had contacted me, I would have never responded or collaborated with them on this subject to begin with.
The only reason frankly I engaged in the dialogue with xiaNaix is that I don't remember him acting in bad faith towards me nearly 8+ years ago back in different times. I hope I am not making a mistake in that character assessment, but I'm willing to take a chance there. I don't agree with him in his assessment of m4xw, but I will at least agree with him that the time has come to end this back-and-forth thread here at least. Everybody is getting pretty fed up with it, and the bystanders that insert themselves in the mix frankly are not helping this situation along.
As far as I am concerned, this conversation is done now, and you got most of the context you wanted from me. Even if you feel otherwise, I feel that it would be a waste of everybody's time to keep hashing this out much further.
