Not trying to be a nitpick but its curious how I'm getting the vibe of "Hey, it's a newbie that actually knows how to communicate!" (well, in a nicer tone to be fair, but still of that sort) from Green and Poison, when Asfidyll's earliest blog post actually dates back to July 2013.

Asfidyll seems like they have indeed taken it kindly, but I feel that this sort of mentality is not something to be encouraged. Proper communication between critique and creator is something to be expected, not unexpected, even if either of them be a "newbie"; and there should most definitely not be a need for thanking a creator for actually reading the criticism they receive like the average human being would.

Doing the aforementioned only serves to set up a barrier which alienates newcomers, whilst placing regulars an unnecessary head above them. Everyone should be treated fairly whether they be newcomers or not, and by no means do I think we should be praising those who choose to engage in healthy communication when they're the ones that posted something here so that they may share their ideas to others. Heck, if they wish to share an idea but not have their design choices challenged, then just disable the comments, or grow a spine.

Clay has done well to not even give me the slightest hint of this act, and while I know both Green and Posion probably had the best of intentions, I just needed to say this due to how much it irked me.
