Seriously guyz

For what it's worth, I think that the forum community gives too much credit to those that "bash the developers". Perhaps I'm wrong, but I doubt the developers give anything short of a passing glance at "all of the grief thrown around about their decisions".

To be sure, humans have emotions and we are not surrounded by emotionless, rhinohide-skinned, robots. But, to be in the position that they're in they have long ago learned to not give it any credence.

Also, don't get me wrong, I'm sure some of the constructive criticism is considered. Especially the constructive criticism voiced through the proper channels. But, most of what is said (or at least what we read) is nonsensical...ranting and flaming, of which no one should give more than a passing glance anyway.

It's not that they're getting offended, of course they are not. It's that the behavior ends up wasting their time, and that people are spending more time on ranting and flaming than doing productive things for the server. Nilbog stated that pretty clearly in the IRC segment I quoted in my O.P.

True, and perhaps I missed your point originally. Nevertheless, if people are busy "ranting and flaming" I doubt they're the type of people that are going to be productive members of the community in the first place. Then again ... you know what they say about those who rage against the machine!
