If you downloaded the game, you don't need a disc to start.
You're also allowed to re-download/install games you've already purchased, in case you need to re-install or install it on another computer. There may be a 3 time limit on installing one game, I'm not sure. I've installed all my games multiple times, both for re-installation and to put them on my new computer, and it's worked fine every time.

Well, your friend has a point, Tenshii, that drama on the internet starts quickly and escalates even quicker. And when that drama does start, people tend to resort to 6-year-old-ness. I sometimes think that people enjoy the stupid drama, but I don't think anyone likes the kind of drama that involves racial, ethnic, or religious slurs. When it is the stupid kind of drama, though, people often take that waayyyy too seriously, and I'll admit that sometimes it can be a laugh to watch that. I doubt I'd ever go out of my way to start that, though, and anyone who does has way too much time on their hands XD

Quite frankly, I think this problem mostly just comes from the fact that this is the internet. You have idiots on the internet, and trolling and flaming is not unique to the Sims 2 community. Because of this, the problem will never fully disappear.
I agree with you, however, that maybe there is a problem that stems from the community itself. I've only had that sort of behavior directed at me once, and it was a ludicrous claim which I defended myself against and moved on from. I think if people did that more, moving on from and ignoring the idiots in the community, there would be less of a problem. When those who are "attacked" (I think that's an over-dramatic word) start to make a huge deal of it, it seems like it creates more of a problem.
Maybe I see less of a problem because I only choose to be active in parts of the community where this drama is less likely to occur. The only contest forum I frequent is InSim's, which is regularly drama-free. I have noticed problems in the picture taking community which I'm also fairly active in, however. This problem almost always stems from self-hate, however. You know, people talking about how nobody ever comments them on their pictures and saying "omg I hate this pic, look how bad it is!!!!" so much that it just looks like they're fishing for compliments. That bothers me, but again, I'm picky about how much I get involved. I'm somewhat of a hermit on my flickr, I'm not really interested in getting a billion people to view/comment on my pictures. I just take pics for my own amusement, and if people like them, then that's cool.
If more people remembered it only matters what they want to do with their own game, not what the community wants, then maybe people wouldn't be getting so upset all the time. I think people tend to forget that this is just a game and this is just the internet. I don't consider much of what I do art or anything, it's just me having some fun with my dorky little pixel people. I kind of wish everyone would just lighten up a bit every now and then.
