Quite so. Interesting that Stormwolf seems to have come up with both a historically accurate observation and a way of working it into WitP. Probably that is what bothers his local detractors the most. He's invented a better mousetrap. It scares the mice.

I don't think it's quite this cut and dry mdiehl. I also say power to CS for his thoughts and if he wants to make a better mousetrap then so be it. However, much of what he clutters up other threads with really belongs in the modding forum. Other players that are asking questions about the game as it now stands are often subjected to his posts that have no bearing on the subject discussed and derails their intent. That's when people start in on him, myself included, and for good reason. What he constantly bombards us with has no bearing on the current iteration of WitPAE, except what may be possible in a mod format. I'd like to see him take his ideas and create the mod that best reflects his interpretation of things, THEN open up his own thread for discussion. Right now his posts are pure fantasy and they don't belong in posts by others concerning the REALITY of current gameplay.

In this case he did start his own thread and those of us that simply don't care shouldn't be posting anything in it. In fact, we've derailed his own thread.

I just wish he'd realize that the majority of his own posts accomplish the same thing. If it's intentional, he's trolling, if not and he's simply caught up in his own enthusiasm for his ideas, then he has to start having some self-awarenss that not everyone agrees with his viewpoint. People don't appreciate his posts in other threads anymore that serve nothing other than to push his own agenda.

The solution as always is to never write anything in the threads and they will soon stop appearing. But some people just have to write something to let the OP know he is a troll/idiot/whatever. And so they will keep appearing...
