don't mean to interupt this discussion but what exactly is tech trading? What's the big deal?

When you make a trade offer to another empire, one of the things you can trade is technology.
This can really be exploited against an AI player, since they're not good at judging "fair" trades. For instance, you can convince a neutral to trade their Colonization tech for yours; they can then colonize a few more worlds in their home system, while you take the rest of the map.
I'm less certain about why people dislike tech trades between human players; someone else will have to explain that.
