Hi Andy,
Firstly I'd like to say that I think you and I got off on the wrong foot and I'd
like to apologise for that. Looking through these comments here I see I
misjudged you and I think you misinterpreted my rudely-phrased comment slightly.

Which is actually one reason I felt compelled to start this thread. I got sick
of people jumping in to flamewars to complain about the noise-to-MOC ratio
without actually contributing to increasing the MOC ratio (or comments thereon)
and only contributing to the noise (by their very comments complaining about
it).

Well, CSF has a comment style I don't particularly like and while I'm happy to
play the game I personally prefer the Lugnet style. I think overall it is more
constructive although I do see the CSF point on occassions.

Even the BS greatest hits (whilst being overly self-fulfilling) is better than
MOCpages reviews. Quite honestly I like the system here. You can Spotlight or
Highlight something you like but if you don't like something you have to take
the time to respond. It encourages people to think before being negative.

This is why I think you misunderstood me. I considered your reviews to be not
terribly polite (I still do) but I think you may have just been trying to post
in the CSF-style. My response was meant more along the lines of "If you build
really well you can afford to be rude" than suggesting your point wasn't valid.

Well please do. You don't have to be a Great Builder to comment and everyone has
their own thoughts and ideas about things. The one thing that you should be
careful of if your technical skills aren't as advanced is making demands of a
technical nature without explaining how they can be done.

You too,
Tim
