Again, if that IS was Blitz is saying, then yes it will alleviate the issue. But I don't get that interpretation from what he wrote. Instead I think he means that you have two different options of activation - one of Nexon's chosing and one of the your own.
Also, no one else who has played a Pirate has come foward to confirm this is the case. In fact, even they are stating that you may want to put your 1 point into DS instead of Dash if your an Infighter taking that type of build, so I'd be doubly surprised to learn that Blitz found out a way of working around Nexon's activation scheme that no other Mapler has ever discovered.

Oh no - 14 MP, and 4 seconds of your life. If you have to be funded to afford -14 MP, then your doing something wrong. And if you constantly make the mistake of tapping your arrow key twice, costing you to lose a large sum of money, you really need to stop playing.
Double-tapping on the arrow key is a very common occurrance for many people in positioning their character. I think the most common occurance would be hitting a monster and knocking it back just out of your close combat range (think dagger range rather than 2-sword range since we're talking about Knuckles here) then double-tapping to position oneself back into range for another blow while the monster is in flinch mode. Happens all the time until you can pin them against something they can't move beyond/across so they remain within your range.
Considering the amount of frustration that's already been discussed about the 2 second cool down for some of the other Pirate powers and the similar discussions about Final Attack delays for Warriors/Bowman which I have personally experienced, I think the concern over the momentary delay is justified. Although your 4 seconds is obviously an exaggeration for the point of the discussion, it's still an issue of throwing your timing and sense of distance off whenever it activates unexpectedly which will lead to more of a loss than just the 14 MP in many cases. And since this effect is with you for the rest of your Maple career as a Pirate, unlike things like FA which only work in relation to certain powers and can be worked around, it will always be a concern. I threw in the obvious exaggeration in reference to teleport to try and emphasize the collateral effect that unwanted activation could have.

Bit of a hypocrite on the noob part
For the anti-semitic part though, your comment is borderline as I said. Any derogitory comment being related to the Jewish religion is the definition of Anti-Semitism. To state that someone who is being thrifty is Jew with that negative connotation is pretty much spot on with the definition.
