"these comments are all unsubstantial because you're only using a personal opinion to justify what is right and wrong. others are not going to share it. i consider what i do artistic work, because that is how i think of what i'm doing when i make it."

and it is a form of collaboration, just a new dynamic and different form that is different to you. you don't have to attack it, like MKC isn't putting fuck all over it, and that is really really cool.

why is there so much anger here? i'll end with another email quote

"i was hoping there wouldn't be any tension in a shift in design. we are simply making the pieces work together in a new way, not ignorant to the cause. it's unfortunate that people like NLT don't understand and have to curse in the gridcosm, but maybe not as it shows how radical i suppose the ideas we used are to some."
