This goes for everyone, not just those arguing:
I've never looked at any code for just about any mods, so yeah, speaking from a place of ignorance. I don't even know java but I could wing it if I had to scan code tho.
Given that, the argument still runs dry. Unless you wanted to post lines of code and show where the problem is versus the right way to do things, and fully understanding the complexities of creating mods, and proving that as well, you're holding false data as the reasoning for why things are working the way they do. (and note: please don't do any of the above, my eyes will completely glaze over as I skip the post).
It's called speculating, or assumption based logic. I do something similar, I use applied reasoning when I try to assume something that I know nothing about. It's the one place where you will find an abundant amount of choices that were made, for a reason, that you have no idea about, since you are not the one coding said mod.
With that all said. I don't care. I really don't. In fact, I don't think anyone cares. Care about what you may ask? How that concerns you. Seriously. My point was, do it, but don't bother everyone about the fact that you are doing it (i.e. disabling special mobs). But, with that, understand that your playing a different game than everyone else, thus belittling other's opinions or making an absolutist argument that something could never happen from your point of ignorance is very very egotistical.
Someone closing their mind to the fact that their opinion is the only opinion is just about the saddest thing imaginable. I've never met anyone that was right 100% of the time. Being open to new ideas and thoughts allows creativity to flourish and keeps the discussion going. Shooting down theories without backing them up wastes everyone's time, but feeds that person's ego. Throwing numbers around from one point of view ends up diminishing the argument to comparing things to the decimal point which doesn't really help the situation. Even if you were right and it took 99 not 100 things to make the thing, that makes you right by a decimal point. again, who cares. Know when to just say "Ok, we agree to disagree, but my theory is still sound in my mind, but I know this doesn't help anything".
Or, at the very least, leave the ego at the door, be civil, don't snark, and have your discussion but don't turn it into an argument. Tone is everything.
I just can't believe that me, of all people is the one stating this. I'm very argumentative when I think I'm right, but when I get proved wrong, I back off and apologize. I learn from that event and move on. I don't like being faced down for an inaccurate description of events that I know are wrong, and in those circumstances, I do have issues keeping my cool, but yeah... wow. Can't believe I had to type all of this. Grow up people.
