I heard lollipops? And what's the actual topic btw?
Actual topic was about Ilya overreacting into multiple page blast spree. Naturally some dreadful gnomes smelled the roasting chicken and came from woodworks to add up to the chorus. The ages old song of final nails, last straw, useless sh*ts running circus with bitter veteran clowns wearing rose-tinted glasses and ranting about stolen lollipops as well as lack of sunshine coming down into their basement. It's rainy weather alright, better get your umbrella on the walk around.
What a nice place this is. Luckily I've to attend other things which are either profitable or more entertaining at the moment, hue.
Also reminds me of those pesky bots flooding the markets in virtual games by endlessly recreating the same item due to transfer-glitches. For whatever reason.
I'd suggest to try Rainy Mood for all your rain needs.
Yeah well, but you know, it gets funny when one guy goes "grow up". And I wonder if that's a suggestion or a demand? Grow up where to or may be into what, or may be into whom? What if it implies growing into a massive dick? That ought be to hilarious but could quickly get inconvenient for its bearer too. And then another one goes "this ain't Kansas anymore", oh the comedy! It's all good and nice but I remember neither lollipops nor sunshine were there actually, nor were advertised at the entry sign.
Telling one to "grow up" is rather a suggestion to themself and more of a demand to others to become more like what they'd wish others to be, namely more like them, sharing same ideals, ideas, opinions and all the other fancy stuff.
And of course it means "growing" into something unwanted, as without questions, there's no progress, and people telling others to "shove it" or to "grow up" are usually those unable to argue their own statements with what you could call your own courage/mindset.
Still no lollipops. Frakk that. I'll go now and buy me one, seriously.
Shortage of candies and the tasteful likes there I'd say. Granted some might not like sugar or such for reason this and that. Still, an excess of volatile opinions instead, adrenaline fueled and stress inducing, strongly worded often, at times smelling prejudice and bitterly stated, typically exaggerated for no other reason than to an attempt at forcing upon another fish or person or something in between. Whatever the case an ultimately futile endeavour, unless the subject brains are made of marshmallows and one gets to color them whatever. Too many words - to little acting. Heaps of monologues seldom saying anything. Bits and bytes in database, random rants, shouting and blabbering, figures of speech none expected, no one cares. Someone forgot to label doors in argument clinic and we have a wild mix of abuse, debates, head hammering sessions and here I am complaining about my shoes for god's sake!
Hey, reads a bit like me trying to punch some sense into peoples beliefs of what's right and whatnot. But then again I shall fit perfectly in the description you just stated, makes it rather hypocritical for me to post about all this in a serious manner... (wait)
Shoes are important!
They're your daily companion, you'll have to spend most of your days time with them and they should fit you well and charm the feeling that contributes to your comfort.
No argument about shoes! They've no choice 'cept to fit.
Okay, I think we already got down to the point of understanding that we, in fact, are having to deal with people who want to kid over the mod and take all the notes and opinions as personal offences. I guess this is just a lack of understanding that the criticism the changes receive is valuable feedback. Turning the mod into playground is not good because it's build over the collaborate effort of all the community. In that situation fighting with windmills for community's cost is not good for us all in the end.
In fact, take a look on what we have - people are getting into egoism and thus we can't even find a modeler to make few boxed lowpoly models. It's not because people can't model stuff - it's because people don't want to model stuff.
Same goes for RP on the server, for development methods, for pvp interactions, for forum RP. You telling me it's my opinion that is toxic here, maybe, but take a look at yourself first before going ballistic on other's opinions.

This is just completely delusional. The utter bile you have spewed here is just an opinion and valuable feedback?
Hell no.
I'm sure you have valid opinions and feedback somewhere in there, but it's drowned out by the foam at the mouth. Drop the sense of entitlement, fix your attitude and present your points in a constructive manner and maybe you'll get a better response.

Basic manners.
Pussy.
"Oh he's not talked to me like wiping my ass with rose-flavoured vanilla paper made of silk and softness..."
Jeez. If you cannot filter the constructive parts out of any sort of critism, then stop trying to tell people about "fixing whatever".
The way one's presenting an issue has nothing to do with the content of said. Which is, for a fun fact, a thing many people in here fail to understand.
Someone's witching (with b*) at you for a good reason - better don't take him seriously unless he's overly nice to you in using his words to fit your very own perception of how you should be treated.
//Edit: Oh, and to cover your vague statement, OP sure had "valid points", I just decided to take the other exit of the road to see what's to be found there.
And, OPs as everyones opinion is always valid. Don't confuse opinions with facts. Still doesn't mean it matters to others.
