You already said it once -- I can read just fine. True as it be, this unnecessary sentence just makes you look like a supreme ass. I don't see a single person in this thread so far accusing you of plagiarism.
I also feel the need to address this little gem from the 2008ADO page:
When I came back playing Doom, at the end of Sept. 2008, after 1.5 year far away from Doom, disgussed by the behavior of the majority of the players and users, disgussed also by some authors like Mike "Cyb" Watson (the author of Mass Mouth) who refused to me the authorization to release a version greatly improved and heavily debugged for Zdoom of both of his pwads, for the false pretext that he will update them by himself (1.5 year later, he didn't make anything at all on it ; at least, he didn't release anything, and my work is still sleeping on my computer, which is a pure shame), I had the idea to bring again to the Doom's community my skill for doing updates, improvements and debugging.
If you're wondering where all the "black comments" are coming from, this is why. There's nothing wrong at all with making a personal mod of a wad or even sharing it with the author's permission, but publicly slamming a modder as well-respected as Cyb for respectfully declining such a request is a very low blow. It's not your work that rubs most people the wrong way, but the attitude behind it.
Of course, there's always those retards who might take one glance at one of your enhanced wads and go "THIS IS STUPID" without even trying it. Those kinds of comments can always be safely ignored. ;P
Even having said all this, I'll take a look at the wad when I have more time and see how the new version stacks up.
