I'm coming in on this discussion a little late from the looks of it, but before we get back on topic I'd like to say a few things.
Sgt Wilko has developed a little bit of a reputation on this forum for speaking his mind. While I do not necessarily agree with the way he has handled every situation (as he does not agree with the way I have handled every situation), I have to stand up in his defence on this one. The reason this man can be so prone to out breaks is that he has invested a great deal of time and energy into this project, yet received very little appreciation for it. He gets to put up with all the criticism of his work as we, the administration end of this Team, subject him to public beta-testing. As Flynia has stated, he and I are the face of this team, but Sgt Wilko, Barneyinblue and Romka were the workhorse of this Team long before Flynia and I came along. With us doing so much of the PR, we seem to be the ones getting all the accolades, while Wilko and the rest of the Team go un-noticed except to critique their work. How would you like to watch the public giving the marketing department all the credit for your work while you take all the crap?
It's easy to take a glance at a model and pick out it's flaws, but it's another thing to take a deeper look at a model and know the immense investment that has brought it this far. You have to have some respect for that investment. Flynia and myself do every thing we can for this project, but it is only because of the respect we have for the work that was done before we became a part of it. We have done a lot, but our skills are not that of the unsung hero’s of this Team, if not for Wilko, Barneyinblue and Romka, there wouldn’t be much more to this pack then a few converted weapons, some normal maps and a lot of administration! LOL! You may not like how Sgt Wilko states his case, but put yourself in his shoes for a little while and see how it feels.
In this specific situation, Sgt Wilko was reminding Flynia of an agreement that was made concerning releases before the 2.0 release from some time ago (that even I needed a reminder of), he was not trying to "control" anyone. I understand no one outside the Team knew that, but I also know that you need to get all the facts before you go accusing some one of wrong doing.
I have talked to Wilko about how he addresses the public, and he is putting forth an honest effort, even I can see that. In return, lets try to show the guy a little respect, shall we?
