Heh. I'm going to be quite blunt here, which is unusual for me, but I see a lot of shit on this thread.
Who the fuck are you to be talking down Shuttleu so badly, Garrett?
Yeah, MSI SL gets their own private forums. But that seems to have boosted someone's ego, who then goes to compare it to SSRL's ego, without actually being part of SSRL.
As for him being a cocky bitch, I've seen an awful lot of good code from him, which is more than enough to back up his good scripter point.
Could he be more modest? Sure.
But I do think you crossed one of those lines when you go trashing someone like this.
And, just to make a final point, I made this thread about the agressive attitude towards him. I think the contents of this thread prove my point more than well enough. I think you need to learn to distance yourself, this is the internet after all.
Yup, I was harsh here. Sucks.

I guess I'll just reply to each of your points:
I personally didn't think I was talking down to him. I was talking
normal to him, like he was a normal being in the universe, not "I'm a really great scripter, look at my SRL Member status :)". I'd enjoy a quote where I specifically say "I'M BETTER THAN YOU, DEAL WITH IT BITCH!".
A quote of me flaunting my ego around, please.
As to the SSRL post, I've got to thinking, and what I meant was pretty much exactly what you see here, in this exact thread. We are generally private, and shit is happening that wouldn't happen in a public setting. The stuff that gets shown to me from SSRL is largely like this, people being dick heads when they wouldn't in public. That was my point, and it's being proven in this thread.
He hasn't proven himself with any super-l33t code that would merit him bragging his skill up to people, and even irl I hate people who brag and act cocky, no matter who they are. Negative attitudes get you nowhere in life.
I'm not sure what you mean by distance myself. Not talk to him? :\
PS- Harsh RM needs to show up more often, I rather enjoy the attitude of not fucking around. And no, it doesn't suck. :)

Wha? I posted the exact same quote as someone else did, and then said he was cocky and I don't think he's good enough to brag. People like RM, Coh3n, yourself, Wizzy, they are skilled enough to brag, he isn't. And by saying "we" I mean that RM called both of us out, even though I didn't think I was a dick to him either. So s/we/nobody, whatever you wanna say.
