I remember that thread, sure dude, shit talking open source utility for being dangerous and its author because he declined to implement whatever you want from him. Don't even try to pull this off, this guy did nothing wrong, you, on the other hand, totally deserve your negs. You should refresh your own memory in case you forgot it

Show me where I did anything more than ask about a feature and ask if it could be put in the game since I wasn't comfortable running an unknown person's code on my computer in order to be able to get a multi-craft button feature.
I was told to get the source code and read it to make myself comfortable!!! So I pointed out that it didn't seem the right solution for people to have to do that, even if they had the skills to do it.
When I said such a tool is 'dangerous', it simply means that running code external to a game, written by an author whom I don't know has the
potential to backfire horribly. Not only that the author could be anyone, with any intention, but more importantly I don't know what bugs his code may have that could accidentally damage my machine. That is not saying "this is a virus" or anything, just that in principle, doing thngs like that is risky.
I am shocked that anyone would argue with that.
I was reasonable throughout, expressed genuine concerns and received a lot of ridiculous anger for it. If you think that's 'deserved' then you're living in a parallel universe to me mate.
As I said to the other guy above: downvoting makes no difference here. I don't care if it's minus a million.
