Jesus fricking Christ, is that all you took out of that entire post?

I mean I've seen some self absorbed people in my day, but this absolute takes the cake. There are other rosters out there. Good ones.

If I don't like yours of course I'm not going to use it. You know what, I'm not using it anyway, because it doesn't fricking exist yet!

I've enjoyed the hell right out of OOTP4, and you know what? Nothing made be GForce22 was involved in the least bit.

But thats not even the point, neither is whether or not an incidental statement in my long post seemed a little awkwardly worded. The point is, you guys shouldn't be doing this Yzerman19, or me, or some odd collective concept of "the community". You shouldn't be doing this for the accolades you will undoubtably receive or the respect it gets you on some message board. You should be doing it for you. Period.

Thats a point that Rolen seemed to get, and a point 90% of the other posts in this thread seemed to totally gloss over. I've seen this happen dozens of times to internet projects. Some of the people working on them get such overinflated egos from the hundreds of fanboys that flock around them and defend their every action that they lose sight of why they started in the first place.

OK, now everyone in who reads this get in a big race to see who can post "If you can't wait do it yourself" first.

I'm sick of arguing, and I'm going to go play a game called OOTP4. You may or may not have heard of it, but I highly recommend it.
