I used to be a fan of Matthew's weapons designs, but I'm afraid that I too
am going to suffer, going forward, from limited interest in things Matthew
says and creates. It's my own fault for not being able to ignore his rotten
attitude, but I guess I'm OK with that. If his stuff is great, it will
inspire others with thicker skins and I'll learn from them instead.

Matthew, your stuff is good, but you're no Pablo Picasso.
(Neither am I, so I don't feel bad saying that.)

If your goal really is to give ideas, then surely you realize it's easier to
get there and inspire more people by being polite than by being rude?

I think this is an interesting example of how different people can view things
different ways. I actually thought Shiri's response was rather adult/mature.
It seems to me that you (Matthew) are the only one here acting childish
(except maybe my post here, which is somewhat childish).

Mandroid was much better at your game than you'll ever be.

That's funny, that's what I heard when you opened your bu^H^Hmouth.

Uhh, tell me again, why we should care what you think?

Matthew, it's apparent that you've got some deep-rooted psychological issues.
Are either or your parents perfectionists or alcoholics? Have you considered
seeking professional counseling or cognitive therapy?
