a-aw, not really! but t-thanks dude!
>Does this accurately and concisely convey what you intended, Taxi?
For the most part, yeah! I took the liberty of trying to re-edit it a little. Here's the legend:
- yellow text = things i didn't mean to convey
cyan text = things i meant to convey but don't make the whole thing more succint
underlined = text i modified
[between parentheses] = text i added
struckthrough= text i deem unnecessary
- I like how you rewrote the last statements using present tense. It makes much more sense! ◠‿◠SparkyService wrote:I intended to provide constructive criticism. I don't know the details of why he was offended or quit, but I think we were too harsh on him and maybe also he quit too soon.I understand that he has other responsibilities, yet I would have preferred he stayed with this forum community.We all could have shown each other more respect; I could have better conveyed my love and appreciation for him. We must take care not to harm each other.
[To prove how much i cared about his project] I have some additional comments on the GUI he presented for HaloMD,and I would have hoped he would have considered them and continued developing something nice for us to use.Samuco presented the concept, and I liked his idea! I offered to refine the GUI elements for him, and he accepted. I also suggested that he tune their relative sizes (see the lower left corner), [since having precise GUI elements in an imprecise grid is kind of useless.] Also the buttons to line up with the internal box when the window width is at its minimum, the status text to remain visible rather than disappearing and the buttons' font to be different from what they are now.
I think this is cool and holds a lot of potential to become awesome! I hope Samuco keeps working on this properly when he decides he can be fucked, and not give up even though nil said that he would not like to add this to HaloMD (yet).
- I yellowed those two statements because he didn't give me the feeling that he had so much more important stuff to do. I mean, he must had more important things to do for sure, but I don't remember him ever mentioning that.
- I added [decides he can be fucked] in the end because he'd always say that he "couldn't be fucked" doing things. I think this mentality is what drove him away. (am i a passive-aggressive man-bitch? maybe! But i think that if he ever reads this again, he'll maybe understand which behaviours of him i deemed avoidable.)
In the end i think this is what happened:
His lazy efforts weren't enough to meet the quality standards of the dev team, and the dev team's eventual discouragement summed to his unwillingness to pursue objectives, led him to leave.
I may be a dick, i'm sorry. I can't just give all the fault to either one of the parties.
