We DID NOT 'blew him off', he just went away all by himself for no
good reason.

We didn't start the flaming, he started complaining about every change
we did without giving us a useable other way to do it. If all people
agree that the old GUI needed a complete rewrite since it was
basically unusable and Steve tells you that we MUST stick to current
PUI, that really wasn't all that helpfull. Same with fullscreen, plib
simply can't do that at the moment. With VBO Steve told us that it
"wouldn't much help", well it doubled the performance.

Now if Steve just started fixing issues instead of telling us that we
don't need that would have been a whole lot more helpfull.

Yes.

Sorry, but the libraries that we use are the same that are used by
pretty much every second other OSS game too, so I really can't see how
that should ever be much of a problem.

How about instead helping us RIGHT NOW and making this GOTM run a
success instead of just complaining and slowing all this down even
more with more and more endless flaming? We need help and are happy
about everything we can get.
