Quote - Clearly you Poser people (etc)

I really don't intend to engage all of this.  Basically, to me, it's Michelle offers "this, that or another" and if someone finds that it simply unacceptable or not enough, I understand and am not going to get offended or protective (at least that's not what I'm shooting for).  I do listen but I'm not going to pander or make any change without considerable thought.

I think the critiques are fine and welcome but there are very likely to be reasons that every observation or request is not going to be acted on.  Firstly is that Michelle is certainly a figure that we intend to be community friendly but it isn't an open-source community project.  The team has to carefully look at the ramifications that any change creates.  Even if it seems like a little change, it can reach deeply and affect many other things, certainly but not limited to works that have already been created for Michelle by other artists.  You don't want artists to feel that Michelle is an eternal work-in-progress to the degree where it just isn't "worth the trouble" to design for it.  I don't think that's a road that we plan to travel.

If something can be implemented so that the changes can be passed on that doesn't cause (great) confusion or trouble for end users and/or content creators then its something we are more apt to look at.  Sometimes it's also making a consideration on "how" to implement something.  What might be "easy and clear" to you might be terribly confusing for a casual user and I just can't write those folks off.

Starting your thoughts with "you poser people" is just drawing a dividing line to start with and I'm not sure that's terribly necessary.  Any place where we can all relax behind anonymity (and that's most of the web) we see all ranges of good and bad behavior.  Go anywhere and start a Mac vs. PC thread and watch how quickly that devolves into mud slinging and dead-horse beating ;)
