[Molten]

I've read all the posts on this thread so far, and have found many of them intriguing. However, Akash's post is the one has struck me the most.

I guess I can see how getting feedback from someone that doesn't know the software could get annoying. But I just find it harmful to the CD community to not post on these grounds. I mean, if I see something on a thread discussing 3ds max...I admit I'm ignorant. However, I still have value to CD in posting my ideas there. I can suggest something that would make it look better even if I can't suggest how. If its not possible, I just learned something. If it is possible, the modeler has a challenge.

Just remember, your going to be drafting for idiots at some point. Why not get used to it?

Holding back on a great design due to a bit of uncalled for responses seems a bit weird to me. Afterall, one of the best teaching methods is questions.

I could go on about this for pages, but I think I'll simplify this to a sentence:

Restraint in sharing an idea, is a constraint on learning.

Please post anything that might be educational to others or yourself, and you will find that a part of CD will be revived.

PS: I will probably discuss my ideas on the increased negativity in a future post. I just thought this is long enough for this one.
