Well, if I was as great at scripting as some of you are, I wouldn't have a problem doing so. But obviously my knowledge of scripting prevents me from doing so.

Then please stay out of the scripting forum if all you're going to do is criticize others for trying to hone their skills. Clearly level collabs are also a waste of time, right?

Yeah, I'm going to stay out of the scripting forums for giving my opinion. Clearly my opinion has nothing to do with criticizing. I simply stated that I lack the knowledge to be able to make anything of a "scripting exercise". So, exactly what are you talking about??

I wouldn't insult someone for being a poor scripter. Did you even read the thread?

His criticism of this exercise when he clearly does not understand how scripting works (noted by his statement "doing things they can obviously do") is why I'm telling him to get out. His cynicism is not doing anything to help people who have an interest in learning to script or those who wish to improve their scripting. If anything, it's discouraging others from creating similar challenges.


Sweet irony.
