brad is a target because he types too much. when i see a giant post i immediately think melodrama. i dunno why. i get a negative impression when i see giant posts by people. it's only because i took the time to read fb's posts that i realize that he's trying to be specific and detailed. it's a neverending cycle though cuz the more he gets attacked the more he tries to word things in juts the right way which makes his posts even longer. its not what he says it's how much he says. but i am sure gl

Reply to Brad Wardell, a good guy! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

i only know Frogboy aka ''Brad'' from this site. and when he talks to people he doesn't agree with he always tries to convince them with reason. he does't make personal attacks. he doesn't call people names. i respect him for that even if i don't agree with him. and i also respect results. and like it or not, frogboy and his team have produced results. results that have benefited many.

Reply to The state of the community in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

here's my take as a nobody. Brad bashing has become so accepted and so common that l0c thought he could actually make a "Brad's a Nazi" post and people wouldn't condemn him for it. the civilized people of our little community have finally gotten fed up and said in a loud voice "ENOUGH!". l0c and other meglomaniacs are just seeing the backlash of this. they were the straw that broke the camels back.

i like tek. good site. skinning has a small town feel. i read fb's thing last night and checked out the sites. lotsofskins is down. customize gave me a wierd symbol and wulnd't let me on. skinbase worked fine. and da had some guy trashing fb for not including his stuff in the fb's article. maybe tek could do n article on the difficulties of online diplomacy. the more active in the community you guys get the more you get trashed by the wannabes.

Reply to The truth on Windows XP skinning in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

very useful. i read that someone's already cracked the security in xp by patching one of the sys dlls. doesn't give me much confident in microsoft's ability to protect my computer. maybe the lemmings who download all those luna skins will go use that and leave the real skinners to use original cool stuff.

making my system feel like nextstep was what got me into litestep in the first place. some of the older themes are clean and simple. to many new ones are fully of useless eye candy and i find myself using desktopx objects more and more in combo with litestep.

i don't think i ever posted on skinz.org in all the months i was there. but i post plenty here. why? because on skinz, the self appointed elitists kept their mouths shut. but here a tiny group of elitsts try to tell the rest of us 'stardock butt kissers' how the site we love should be. who the hell are they to say? the admins on this site have been very flexible. i was one of those leading the charge in objecting to the site asking for mail addresses. i complained bitterly but with respect. and

Reply to pros and cons of "censorship" in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

listen to grog. Has any actual user ever been banned from this site for speaking their minds in the entire history of this site? answer: no. i am so sick of the elitist holier than thou attitude of some people around here. i remember bakerstreet writing a long personal insult post at frogboy on this very forum and was he banned? no. was he censored? no. so give the rest of a us a break with the claims that this site is somehow censorship central.
