I blew my top after carefully thinking about it and noting that others
seemed to be unwilling or too nice to blow theirs. The e-mail I
received from several people after that agreeing with what I said
makes me think it was a Good Thing to do.

Yep. And it's also about a lot of people who have proven time and
time again that they are willing to give 110% of themselves and their
time to better the LDraw movement having to waste more and more of
their time catering to an arrogant little snip who, by his own
admission, does not possess the skills necessary to really be a parts
author. And on top of that, they are being asked to waste their time
helping someone who doesn't seem to want to be helped, someone who
actually has the nerve to _demand_ things from those same people, the
nerve to whine about Kevin Loch's instruction scan site not filling
all of HIS needs because of what JW feels is a "silly rule".
This isn't about an otherwise perfectly nice incompetent parts author
who is just asking for a little help.
