Furthermore, Carotio has in the past demonstrated an UNWILLINGNESS to properly credit the modders whose work is damaged in the process by failure to include the original documentation with his core file download... Also, by plastering his name all over the loading screen... can be said to pass the entirety of the work off as his own.
Carotio's relationship with GW modding efforts has only been a parasitic one.
Carotio may make himself out to be a martyr swallowed up by the big bad grey wolves all he likes.
We ask permission for our inclusions from external sources... Carotio DOES NOT. Any successes gained by his work depends on the GW/GWX to "sell itself."
This amounts to theft in an oblique way.

Nice words indeed!
Well, let my try to respond to it in an explaining manner:
1) Yes, I change some of the GWX features, like GWX changes some of the original features! Some people like ice cream, some other like chocolate and others just like both! Why not let people with other opinions than your own play the game his/her way? Why dictate others to one way only? Please, multiple choices for everybody, if you ask me!
2) Let just people read your words and mine! I try to be honest about everything, but I'm only human as others! So yes, I have forgot to put an original readme file from a mod in my documentation folder, also I have forgot to mention a modders name! But do you honestly believe, I do this, because I'm mean and a common thief? No, it slips my mind now and then, simply because it's difficult to keep up with everything always everywhere! But whenever I discover an error, I do try to correct things. So I do try to make a fully correct Credit List in my readme files! And if it's incomplete in the first version, then it adds up in the second! So please don't accuse me for unwillingness! You can accuse me for not asking permission for use of each little mod, but I do try to credit them!
3) About loading sceen - yes I made one out of GW/GWX! Is it because, I want it to appear as my mod alone? No, it's not! I do intend users to try GWX first as it is! When I have modified, what I want to modify and release a GWX-UA, the users will see that it has been added, and then they can compare, if they like the original GWX or the version with my changes! It has never been my intention to declare myself as the sole creator of GW/GWX! I AM NOT! But if some internet users think so and say it, I can understand your frustration! I DO UNDERSTAND! But is it my fault that these users can't compare for themselves? Indirectly, maybe yes! But please don't state that I'm directly responsible for that!
Last remark:
As written in another thread: I wish you and everybody else a merry Christmas with plenty of joyful Christmas spirits with family and friends! Don't forget to be nice to even your worst enemy!
