I do not care if GPL hysteria impedes the use of my code. It's not my fault that people are ignorant, and I'm not apologizing.

You can insult my skills all you want, but that changes nothing, about what I have achieved here, and what I am going to do.

I'm sorry for you, and I don't know why you insist on attacking me and my motives whenever possible, [...] But I simply do not have time for you any longer, and will no longer respond to your posts. You are officially a non-person to me, which takes a lot more effort than you'd think. Good day, sir, and goodbye.

I make games, ok? I'm very good at it, too.

I am not an evil android, people!

Compare's Cavedog's and Argh's files, and come back when you have a clue, ok? (I detailed how to in my first post so even non hapi&sd7 savvy people can do it) Basically, it's like someone stole your daddy car, slapped a sticker reading "this belong to me and runs GPL", then the next morning when you try to use it, you're told you can't and you have to also give away your house keys. And when you complain, passerbys says that you! are the troublemaker.
