I did open it. I didn't try a game on it because looking it over quickly told me I didn't want to. Normally I'd stop at seeing the thumbnail, but I figured it might not be representative in this case.

Well, I'm playing my map. It's making me happy. I, uh, have web space and can post my maps there if you'd rather I stop contributing.
I hope you'll make good maps in the future, but I hope that of various people who don't act the way you do.

How is it you know those maps aren't going to be played? Most people with negative things to say about them clearly haven't booted them up and played a game in them to provide criticism. I'm ok with that.
Let's call it an educated guess. You could take a poll though if you wanted. "Would you add this map to your regular play maps?"

Whether people do or don't isn't my concern, I'm just saying from what I know of the community, they won't.

If by knock it off you mean stop making the maps I want to play on, or continuing to explain what I *am* looking for in these maps - I don't plan on stopping any of those.
No I mean lose the superior attitude and don't bash what other people have done, especially when you're new and have contributed very little. I would think that's obvious. But maybe not to you. You're coming across as one of these guys who turns up and gets a negative reaction from everyone and still doesn't see what he did wrong.
