he was pretty obviously provoked
planr said that nobody will download his mod, and he replied that clearly people have, seeing as its been on several magazines. nothing wrong with disproving someone's claim
I'm not defending planr. I don't care. But if the author had any level of maturity/resolve he wouldn't of flown off the handle that easily. He could have just said, "it's not directed at anyone in particular, I'm just sick of the recurring notifications" and it would've been fine and dandy.
I've put some stuff on the gmod workshop before. Yeah, I get it, people asking if what is clearly just a model is an npc/playermodel/swep/ect. can drive you nuts, but calling people names just escalates the situations and will just lead to more frustration and just prolongs the inconvenience.
