That really bothers me - the fact that everyone's coming in and badmouthing him when he's not even on.
Regardless of who it is, I'd hate to see any regular posters getting intentionally snubbed by a majority of the forums, maybe in part because it means it could happen to me, or anyone.
If I remember correctly you weren't rushing to the aid of syringer, or texmaster, or dennil.... or jerboy or any number of other members. Just an observation.
True, but in my defense, I haven't been the most regular of forum members; but I can't dismiss your observation about my hypocracy - but if I do recall, I think most members were present/others were in their defense.
I was just suprised and troubled everyone rushed to flame him and praise the OP for his work - impressive as it is, and as others stated it may have been a built-in feature in some other message boards, but this "public hanging" mentality of the posters and the method he used to announce his work (although, realistically, I don't see another way he could have done this) doesn't sit right with me, maybe "anymore".
