Quoted from Aurich:Hey man, long road, lots of criticism, but you came out better for it on the other side.
I'd put the word "much" in front of better!
It really does look great.
Quoted from RealityCheck:The last half dozen comments are what is really, really wrong with Pinside. First, yes my opinion of Smaug is negative but so what? I tried not to be profane or over the top but certainly challenge other opinions. Additionally, I also complimented his other work (more than once). Second, any time someone has a negative opinion in a JJP forum specifically it's apparently time for the fanboy mob to attack. Where are the mods now telling you guys to stop all the personal attacking?? And how about the profanity being used in the posts above? Seems like pretty selective policing. Third, why in the world do you think I'm addressing Matt directly?? I'm only throwing my own opinion out to the community at large. Period. So sorry Matt chooses to come on here to read about himself (or sell his work) but I think he needs to be prepared for all points of view. If people are intimidated to kiss his butt (or any pinball employee's butt) then pinball will never improve. It's called being censored.
It's a serious problem on all JJP threads in particular. You have a large group of pre-order folks with their money on the line for years at a time. The same folks (majority anyway) will thumbs down, intimidate, and attack anyone who dares say something negative about their investment. It leads to a forum that does not allow open discussion and that sucks.
What in the world are you talking about? What profanity? What personal attacks? Just because you have a personal opinion doesn't mean that everyone has to agree with it or keep their mouth shut about it.
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. And we are entitled to tell you how silly it is if that's what we think.
In this particular case, I think your opinion is silly and wrong. Is that a personal attack? Nope. Just because you are in the vast minority and almost everyone disagrees with you doesn't mean that you need to play the martyr.
