It's not about your opinion. It's about the way you choose to express it. The anonymity of the internet does not legitimate "unacceptable" social behavior; it merely removes consequences.
Buddy, I don't think you know the kinds of people I hang out with on a daily basis between my work and other circumstances. We cut jokes and humorous jabs of a much meaner jib that what you've seen me post so far. I'm not responsible for the lack of skin that users have, so expecting me to "behave myself" because I might step on a fragile feeling or two is not only a tall order, but also an impossibility...

The fact that you seem surprised about negative backlash indicates that you have not understood how this is relevant to online social interactions.
Not really surprise. More of disappointment. The fact that Sengir has to get into such a tiff over a small instance of disapproval just shows how far we've fallen as a community. Used to, mods were simply additions to gameplay that we simply enjoyed. There was none of this idolatry (save for a few mild instances between major updates and new features) over mod authors that has become so prevalent in modpacks for quite some time. In some ways, we've fed a monstrous ego over several developers, thinking that they are god-like in the community. While their creations are indeed impressive, I don't think that they need any kind of "special treatment" in regards to how we talk about mods. The same goes for modpack creators as well. They are all community members who contribute quite a fair share of input on a non-paid basis. And while we do owe them a great deal of respect for putting their hard work into Minecraft, I don't think that we need to sate their egotism in such a way that they are above from being offend at all over simple opinions. Especially over, again, very trite commentary over non-essential features...

Do they hire People to watch every offtopic post in this Forum on the end of the Internet?
I wouldn't say "hire", but I'm sure our activities are monitored out of spite from a particular group...
Edit: Sirius, please don't do the 'threatening PM's'. If you have to address me on something, could you please do it here where it makes sense? Thanks...
