You know T, I am a bit surprised. Please read your above statements after counting to ten, and then perhaps once or twice again after counting to ten. How do they feel?
You are also coming across the cold medium of the internet
There was a lot of "rapid escalation" towards my project in the past. After many hundred work hours of working on it and also having to defend it here over and over again - while it has proven to be one of the most successful oxp ideas measured at the interest it generates in players - I'm not sure who is coming across as arrogant here.
I really don't want to step on your toes here (and that's not easy with OSE - I am aware that it does step on toes) - but here is someone new on the board who is ready to look through everything and find problems, report them and even fix them - where is the problem with that one? He's trying to
help, for frak's sake!
Someone who is new here gets bombarded with repeated preachings to read the wiki, FAQs, use the search function on this board, and is sometimes put down due to stumpling first attempts. And rightly so! It ensures that people try their best - there's no problem with that, is there?
But if someone experienced and able as you might get advice, it's
arrogant?
Please, let's talk this out not in the usual RS/OSE way, as I'm tired of that and won't do it. Don't threaten to "walk out" if something bothers you, talk it out in the open and be done with it so that we can get back to work.
OK? Or not? I'd really find it sad if we got into a rather pointless ruffle about this one, T

PS: Perhaps
we all have to get our heads around collaborating on something like that. Except the devs who are probably used to it. Good will simply is nescessary to find a way to do so. Methinks.
