Actually, I thought what Vash said was hilarious. Sure, weapon renders are better than nothing, but it seems thats all people have to show; these kind fellows here don't even have that. You haven't even bothered to tell us what RTK stands for (I went to the website; apparently it means 'Random Team Killers.' By the way, you know you're dealing with a high caliber developer when their tiling background is one of the most common metal textures on the internet. Hooray!)

this was indeed the culprit mike, justifiably so.. but as i said, i was curious to see how it was taken..

my only addition, we know cass and vash, we tend to overlook questionable replies, because we know their history, and its not completely a loss as far as the history is concerned..

perhaps in this one instance, an admin might have suggested that vash rephrase his comment.. i dunno..

still if the trial by fire works... i survived mikee, and he was by far worse than cass and vash combined. lets see how this plays out.. actually i see it as a win/win scenario, if they stay we get quality people, if they leave we lost nothin.

Ok, I'll analyze the situation and explain my post.

Ignoring his responses to the harsher and probably unnecessary comments from Vash and Cass, he still managed to call anyone who questioned working on the mod before the release idiots instead of offering a different viewpoint. He couldn't manage to tell the difference between discussion and two posts of 'flames'. He tells people to grow up because they innocently questioned the necessity to having a team name instead of an individual name. He even admits to not reading two of the first three pages and continued to make incorrect comments about the community here. Basically the first guy sounds incredibly arrogant (the second guy who posted a little bit in sounded cool, he should probably be the spokesman instead ) and did a poor job of promoting his mod. Granted he probably wouldn't have gotten far anyways given the people here, but he was doomed from the start.

As for the flames: most people would be able to understand this is the internet and what is said on the internet has no bearing on the real world. To get all worked up and insulted about something someone else typed on a message board is rather sad.

Also, given the attitude of the poster as I have interpreted via his posts, he's (self censored as to not be accused of 'insulting' 'flames'). I don't think anyone here is really defending Cass, he can defend himself. My personal opinion of this poster has nothing to do with his newness or his replies to Cass or Vash. It's everything else. So, there's no animosity towards new posters, just morons.

I've got my box of tissues ready to sop up my tears when I get flamed for my opinion and get so crushed by it that I wonder why I even bother.

...and if you'll notice I never got all abusive at him or his mod. The point is if you can't take criticism, no matter how harsh, you should probably find a new hobby. I hear fishing is fun. No one complains because the fish can't talk.
