I think it's unprofessional to repost something like that on the front page. It makes you look like you have a 'holier-than-thou' attitude.

Asp: This isn't a professional project. Why should it be treated as one? This is a freely available project that the devs, and a host of other people donate their time, and some like Hogie, donate ALOT of money too. If you were paying for it, you would have some right to complain as to the content of what goes into the forums by the admins. You've been around for awhile, but what makes you think we should have to just take anything thats thrown at us?
As it stands, I think it's Hogie's personal right to repost hate mail sent to him. Ton's of other sites projects do it, some even have special forums devoted just to hate mail. We are supposed to just endure personal attacks, hate mail, name calling, just because we decided we want to help work on this project? Thats horses**t..
You would be amazed at the number of hateful PM's I have, and IM's because I decided to post that address, from people who EXPECT us to jump at their beck and call. Frankly, I'm sick of it too....
One guy posted hate mail on the forums because I didnt drop Valentines day dinner with my fiance and help him set up a server when he wouldnt read instruction 1.
We're aholes for pointing out to everyone that we won't tolerate that kind of childishness ?
As far as Hogies comment about giving up on the project, go ahead and criticize the one person who bled for this project and spent more time than anyone else holding it together. You guys have gotten a successful EQ emulator out of this and have not had to pay one single dime, and youre mad because he just annoyed by some hate mail and posted it ??
