I offer my support for Takeda Shingen's 5 point plan.

I suggest it's adopted.

Now, On a personal note, I'd like to make an observation/complaint of my own

In this thread, and elsewhere on this forum, several people have repeatedly referred to "the GWX team" or expressions of this sort in an accusing or derogatory tone, including, I'm sorry to say, AVGWarhawk, a moderator.

By these statements they have also included me, and I don't like it.
I have never, to my knowledge, made a single offensive or inflammatory post on this forum, concerning GWX or anything else.
Conversely, I have also never been personally offended or been accused by any post, concerning GWX or anything else.

until now.

I understand that several members of this forum are at odds with one another for any number of reasons, most of which I don't want to know. They choose to wrangle here. I don't really mind that, I don't have to read those threads, or contribute to them.
I can also see the hostility between groups or teams or however you want to describe them and yes, there is a conflict of "modding philosophies" or "modding culture" this is plain as day.
Quite frankly I don't understand the root cause, and therefore I don't get involved in those conflicts.

What I will not stand for is catching the flak from this conflict simply because I contributed in my own small way to GWX, and am proud to show I did so by using the GWX Crew signature.
These generalisations have to stop, if anyone has a beef with individual(s) I suggest they refer to those individuals. since this is one of the points Takeda Shingen made,
I support his suggested plan.

One other thing, from a players point of view:

None of this wrangling is getting any of you modders anything. If someone visits this forum for the first time looking for a mod for his game, don't you think that player would be discouraged from even looking at any mod if the first thread he runs in to is full of vitriolic flaming. Imagine a first time visitor reading this thread....

my 2 cents,

KeptinCranky
