When I say us, I don't mean all of us, just an indefinite set of people whom I hoped would reply if they were part of that us.
you speak for yourself. There is no "us"When I say us, I don't mean all of us, just an indefinite set of people whom I hoped would reply if they were part of that us.
I feel like I should post a naked chick or a kitten to dispel the tension.
Actually, GregTech isn't a mod that I'm going to be creating any drama about whatsoever. I made the decision roughly five minutes after first hearing about that mod, that I was extremely unlikely to ever go near it. Problem solved.

He's sort of right though, but it's not a modder problem. It's a problem with software developer culture in general. Somehow it's become very competitive, prescriptive, and derisive.
I struggle every day not to take on the dad mode voice when telling people about programming because the truth is I only understand very tiny spheres of a truly massive discipline. But given how rare software engineers are in the general population you end up with a false sense of expertise. The Dunning-Kruger effect is most dangerous to people who think they're too smart to fall prey to it.
Celebrities are made, not born.
The world would be a better place if this was true.
They are the direct result of people needing someone to look up to. Streamers and YouTubers are nothing without their viewers. So yeah, they are indeed made - by the community who starves entertainment.
too true :/Some people are made/born celebrities by virtue of their inheritance.
Like the Royalty and Nobility.Some people are made/born celebrities by virtue of their inheritance.

The trend towards elitism and insularity has perhaps been most strikingly visible with Eloraam. I've been using her mods since before 1.7.3, and back then, she referred to it as Integrated Redstone. This was back before RP World and a lot of other things; the wiring and the integrated blocks were the only real thing there. Back then, however, she was friendly and a lot more communicative; I used to see her regularly responding to people in the RP Minecraftforums thread. Over time, however, and as the mod got bigger and Forge was developed, that changed. We started hearing less and less from her; and for me, the straw which really broke the camel's back was the fact that ShadowDragon and Direwolf20 were making YouTube videos which featured a 1.4.7 version of RP2, probably three months before there was a public release.
