Not for nothing, but saying that he's someone who "contributes nothing to the site" is a very easy thing to cause a misunderstand. Either you're specifically saying that he as an individual has had no input of substance to the site and forums, which is directly just plain rude, or you're more likely saying that his opinions on the site are less valid because he's not on staff, in which case it's clear as day how that could be misconstrued as being a window into your opinions on the average user.

If you meant neither, you didn't make it very clear.


Hmm, yes I see your point. It wasn't so much a case of elitism at him not being on staff, but rather that to my knowledge he hadn't volunteered to help the site, so from where I was sitting he was criticisng (though he's since clairified he wasn't, so it's all academic now; just want to explain my position) the work of those who had volunteered their time to help out the site they care about for one reason or another despite not being willing to do so himself. 


Ok thank you for the clarification. In all fairness it should of stopped after my second post that explained what I meant.

Let's just move on.
