Well, thanks Willravel for the support. And thanks to Nisses and luciferase for comments - I'll pass those on too.

No, I wasn't looking for informed criticism and debate - I was simply (as Halx points out) looking to share something my brother made. However I was surprised to receive such a pointless comment from an admin.

I was just disappointed that someone who chose to offer advice did so in such an unintelligent way. If you don't like something, just say so: "I don't like it" is an opinion. "I don't like the bit where <XXXX>" is a useful opinion. "Perhaps he could have tried <XXXX>" is constructive criticism. "Do it better" is the last resort of the incapable.

And accusations of lying? Well I suppose that's true - but lacks imagination?

I admit I haven't been on TFP for a while; I hope this isn't what it's become.
