Hacking becoming more... generally accepted?

Hell, I know hackers who help out their friends by giving them free items so their friends can further enjoy the game..

And that makes them saints.... how?

Generally, I don't despise hackers nor hacking for what they are; I judge the intentions behind such, and form my opinion accordingly. If you download DC hack to disrupt your own char from being stripped naked, I deem it fine. If you use it to monopolize HT and benefit off everyone else's desperation, you are disgusting. Anywhere in between, I don't really care (read: meso farmers who mind their own business but also have a negative impact on the public).

It just gets pretty absurd when you get into a conflict with some guy, and he proceeds to deny you the right to disagree with him.
