LOL, all of this comming from a person that said to me, "it never ocurred to me
to use a worm gear as a one way joint, until I saw Mark Nuemann's Hammer."

Or, "I didn't realize your (Eric Sophie's) Mecha were all mini-fig scale."

Are you calling me out because I dont understand worm gears?  Are you calling me
out because I never saw the minifigs sitting in your mecha?  Because I thought
your mecha were more artistic sculptures than the silly minifig scale stuff I
do?

Really?

Do you see why I see your critique as laughable and later insulting?
Really, I won't give up what I love. Don't even try.

I continue to stand by my criticism as valid and honest. If you think it is
laughable, then that is your business. If you think it is insulting, then show
me how? Because you disagree with me? Or is it because we aren't friends
anymore?

And I resent that you think I'm asking you to give up what you want.  Rather,
I'd like to see your work grow again - and become dynamic and exciting to me.  I
relate it as one artist to another in honest, blunt terms.  I have never, and
will never demand that you stop doing what you love to do.  And if you said,
"Thank you for your opinion Mr.Hoffman, but I respectfully disagree" that would
have been the end of it.

It is you, not me, who is making this a personal fight.  I would have used the
same language with any friend or acquiantance.

(...) Sir, get a clue. I created my first purpose built Mecha in 1988. I have pursued a study in Mecha building for most of my adult life. I have very personnal reasons for building the way I do. Your comment is both way off base and incredibly (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
