That would be a bigger ego. You're not quite at that level, but you're still an egotist.

You all need to choose your words correctly, because if you want to flame me, atleast use a proper selection of words x.x

Oh, please. All of your detractors have at least as much skill with the language as you do. You're not some kind of literary genius, dawg. You make plenty of grammatical and syntactical mistakes and your diction is unremarkable.
Hell, even Moon God is agreeing with me to some extent

Yeah, he may not be the best writer or "literary genius" as you so plainly put it, however this tutorial was good reguardless for whatever set of reasons it was made. Yes, he may have a bit of an ego. But its not as if your not guity of the same crime aswell. "Hell" we all have an ego.

That may or may not be so. However, it is irrelevant to the points I'm making.

The difference is that my ego is entirely in proportion to my abilities.

I don't think I made that accusation. All I am saying is that you place yourself higher than is warranted.

You really should drop it Kai, and stop with this foolishness

As soon as you objectively show that I am being foolish.

I stated that, by the feedback that i got on my reviews, i implied that they were very well written and very well done

And you cannot see this as an expression of ego? You really do have a lot to learn.

Is it? So my opinion and the opinion of others on weather or not his tutorial is good has nothing to do with weather his abilities are up to par with his ego?

And you don’t?

"Sparky! That would sound positively 'insultive', if only it weren't a made-up word!"

"Since there purportedly exist no shades of grey in your moderating philosophy, you should issue yourself a stern warning!"

Even if he were the best writer in the known universe, it would still be egotistical to make the declarations that he did.

Is it?

Boring. As I said to Sparky: Present evidence if you want to make an accusation.

And you don’t?

"Sparky! That would sound positively 'insultive', if only it weren't a made-up word!"

I don't see that quote as indication of inflated self-worth. At most, it shows that I put myself above Spark, and that's hardly unwarranted.

If you want to use my quotes as evidence then you need to back them up with some analytical reasoning. You cannot assume that your readers all share your delusions.

Oh, stop being melodramatic. If he had posted the guide alone - if his sole objective was to help and not to exercise his ego - then nobody would have criticised him.
