As I see this whole situation, people are blowing it way out of proportion. Was gregs code a bad idea? yes, but I really don't think it deserves to be called malware or even malicious. As I understand it, the code if it found TC, made the game shutdown and you couldn't play until one or the other mod was removed. Is that annoying? Yes but it does no damage to any worlds at all. You just remove one of the mods, such a simple thing caused such a huge uproar. If this makes you lose trust in greg that's understandable, but to be angry to this extent is just silly. Also thinking that the FTB crew should in any way police the mod authors is silly as well, they are here to provide us with a wonderfully crafted modpack for our enjoyment. They aren't in control in any way, shape, or form of the mod authors decisions.
And another thing, the mods belong to the mod authors, not the community. They have graciously allowed us to enjoy such awesome creations and fun new things to play with at the expense of their own personal time, pretty much for free. If they don't want to be associated with another mod, that's THEIR choice, not yours or mine. A lot of you act like entitled brats. Just stop this nonsense, the situation has been handled and is now over as far as we the community are concerned.
