Sure helps people who know and understand Belial's perspective, and there are many more than you seem to think, determine whether the levels may be worth bothering with (or where to put them in the priority list, if so). Besides, the comment was in reply to someone else, not even direct input for you, where the qualities of suckiness were described (by entryway, and Belial felt they applied more to those levels instead of Espi's). And if you're going to flame people for negative expressions, might as well thank them for positive ones (such as the ones he made on the other thread).
You call people "assholes", but then you might want to reread your own posts, to see if you're any better.
Oh, here we go again. Myk, has anyone ever told you you're a pompous wind-bag that loves the sound of his own voice (or the look of his own writing) and that loves to argue for the sake of arguing? However, just to humor you I'll argue back. First, most reasonable people will agree that the phrase "Unplayable crap if you value your time" is unhelpful at best, and rude and churlish at worst. Second, most reasonable people would also agree that a response of "Everybody's a fucking critic" would be an appropriate sarcastic rejoinder. Third, it seems that you are among the minority that believes the target of an insulting remark ought to suck it up and seek the sage advice of the insulter. [Great Master! Pray tell me where I went amiss, all the while please continue whacking the shit out of me with your bamboo cane! Actually, just whack the shit out of me and don't even tell me how to improve. It would be a great honor.] Fourth, Chris Couleur is one of the leading mappers in the DooM community, and I believe that most DooM players would disagree with an assessment that labels his maps "unplayable crap". Fifth, I agree that everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, and if they don't like something they can say as much, even if it's in an offensive manner so long as it isn't slanderous or libelous. By the same token someone else can use sarcasm to respond, and even tell the first party to shut the fuck up (which, incidentally, I didn't do - that was you putting words into my mouth). Sixth, according to you Belial's opinions are tantamount to law, and all must bow down before the word of the Almighty [OK, OK, I overdid it on this last point. But you get the idea.] See where I'm going with this Myk?
To sum up, Belial said something that I considered offensive. I responded in a sarcastic manner. End of story. Lighten up; you may live longer if you take your head out of your ass once in a while.

Makes no difference if he was addressing the Pope. He called it like he saw it, and I called it like I saw it.

I didn't call anyone specific an asshole. I said that people who offer unconsidered opinions are sometimes assholes.

And by the definition of Myk, the vocabulary guru, a somewhat caustic remark to someone who makes a habit of making caustic remarks is "flaming"? If you want flaming read the part I wrote a couple of paragraphs up, where I asked you to get your head out of your ass. As for his positive remarks, he said nothing different there than he did here. To wit: "For a short review, Espi's map is totally absolutely unbelievably awesome, Rex's hub is k and Chris' maps are not worth playing if you're not a fan of ED."
Fine, if it'll make you happy I'll say it: Belial, I kiss the ground on which you walk for praising Espi's map and for not trashing my maps. Oh, and my most humble apologies for associating myself with the "unplayable crap" that is Maps11-13. You are truly wise, oh Great Sifu!
