The arguments presented in that link you give are ridiculous.

Here's one from Marcan:
"For starters, I coded the entire suite of easy installer functions that he uses in his stupid WAD installer / uninstaller / manager."

So what is stupid exactly? The application that Marcan wrote the code for? The fact that Marcan knowingly gave him the code? Or the fact that Waninkoko released it. What is stupid about it exactly?

Here's another:

"They're also just wrappers around existing functions and extremely simple to write. He just happens to be really good at figuring out how to use the APIs."

Ok, so the great Marcan, who you all seem to be holding a torch for, gives in and mentions that his old friend Waninkoko is good at doing something.

This is ridiculous. If you don't like the software. Don't use them. There's plenty of warnings about the dangers of it.

If you feel like mucking about with it, hell even learning about it and doing because you can, then go for it. Do you think Marcan and Bushing learnt by always taking the nice, safe way of doing things? Probably not. I bet they've taken some risks here and there.

If you don't like it, fine. If you don't want to use it, fine. If you want to sit there and belittle someone, call them names and be a self righteous ego pumping tool, then go away.

If you want to help with the homebrew scene, jump into the IRC channel with all the homebrew uber nerds and realise just how out of your depth you really are. You're providing absolutely nothing with your name calling nonsense.

This all reminds me of 14 year old girls in high school complaining about some BS issue. Homebrew coder A doesn't like it that Homebrew coder B is getting more famous, so Random forum poster A through F have to whinge about it because they're such huge drooling fanboys of Homebrew coder A.

One thing Marcan did say:
"We're just trying to set things straight. You know, so you don't end up bricking your wii when you decide to try it for no reason at all."

I think Marcan has been pretty succesful in what he set out to do. The scene doesn't need infighting and childish activity like this, especially not from people who have no relation to the projects going on.
