I do designs that would more likely be called MECHS. In reality I don’t do
Mechs either, I do a variation of them called HERCs or Titans. I also do
Flyers and heavy armored vehicles, but I am concerned most about the walking
type Hercs or Titans.

Okay. Those are mecha too, welcome. Anyone who’s told you otherwise is
exceptionally ignorant.

If this group adopts the focus of the Japanese Human like robot, then what
is to become of the rest? Mechs, Hercs, Mobile suits (other than Gundams), >
those that have four or more legs, and any others that don’t fall into the
basic concept that is being put forth as “Mecha”? It seems to me that this
group should be about inclusion not exclusion. I already feel excluded enough
from this group.

Yeah, because, y’know, we have no respect for Mladen’s Mobile Platforms, or Mark
Neumann’s giant Mechs, or Karim’s dragon. We just hate those here.

You’re excluding yourself from this group, by a definition that doesn’t exist
anywhere outside of your head. That’s kind of sad.
I don’t think we’ve even discussed the possibility of excluding builders based
on their choice of subject matter. If we have, we certainly haven’t done
anything about it.
If you don’t want to participate, that’s fine, I respect your decision. Just
don’t pin it on us.
If this sounds ugly in comparison to Eric’s post, please remember you just
slighted everyone in this group rather seriously. Eric is a nice guy with a
gentle heart. I’m not. I’m annoyed that you would say this, with no apparent
cause.
