I know you probably don’t value my opinion any more than the other people that have posted in this thread, but it certainly does appear that you think you *are* beyond critique.

Well, I’ve made suggestions to Eric a few times, especially via e-mail, and he was quite happy to hear them and discuss them.

Most people are very open to critiques, the problem comes when the critic doesn’t now what the hell they are critiquing.

Lenny, Adrian, and Dave don’t see to care for the type of complex, geared robots Eric creates... How in the world can they then critique something they are apparently “blah” about.

  
Dave and Lenny’s posts were polite, but honest expressions of their opinions, which you basically dismissed as personal insults. Lenny mentioned some good points and gave clear suggestions for areas of improvement...which should be the most useful part of the post for you. It’s impossible to go on and on about how great things are in a MOC, and more productive to mention how it could be even better.

Well, again, when they profess to not care much for Eric’s type of construction and their posts seem to relate to outside conflicts (such as Lenny + Eric + SciBrick, whatever that’s about), then I think they don’t have the right to just come out of the blue and slap him indirectly by criticizing something he cares so deeply about.

  
Why bother requesting feedback if you plan on ignoring it?

HE’S NOT IGNORING ANYTHING.

I suppose you are such an avid follower of the build.mecha forums, Bram, to know all the times Eric has ignored criticisms. I find your comments as useless as Dave’s, since you yourself said a long time ago that you thought mecha were pointless MOCs to build since apparently it’s just either two legs, plus a torso and arms, or six legs and a top frame. Right? Correct me if I am wrong. I am 90% sure you said that years ago. You certainly haven’t built any mecha since that biped black one, years and years ago...

Anyways, why don’t you try to make a suggestion, just to test him?
