THIS.

Even *I* think this is ridiculous ... and it takes a lot to get me to that point.

I've been watching and it ain't like Haze is pulling a Genesim and completely altering his posts -- he has added some details and points after the fact, but not done anything out of line.

Nothing could be further from the truth (this is the place where I think there is the most hope -- there is a reasonable balance of fanboys, real collectors and lunatics; the moderation is appropriate and 99% of people share the same final goal), but with the loudmouths, it may hard to see that.

If you were attempting a compliment, the "just" in your sentence belies a different meaning altogether.  If this was your intention, then yes, I believe most developers would agree that they would examine the past works of others, to attempt to build on their own success.  It's a smart way.  Who wouldn't do that?  Use what works, improve on it in your own way, and inject your own independent thought and ideas wherever you can.

Unfortunately, without looking past the "just", it reads as a sleight.

Well 'here' is with reference to hoping said loudmouths actually eventually understand some of this.

I recognize that a lot of people do understand what is being said.
