First from YouTube (and this is a sample - I get a lot like this):
And [censored][censored][/censored] YOU for the "ihavereadtheinstructions=1" in the .ini file.
You pompous [censored] dork. If I knew where you lived i'd break your fingers so badly youd never access a computer again.
and from on nexus:
There was another recently on nexus (which has thankfully been removed) that accused me of perpetrating a hoax, releasing a mod that 'did nothing' and threatening to 'cut my face' if I was ever seen in public. Ironically it also suggested I should go to school to learn how to program (ironic because I teach programming to masters students at university).
This is just in the last two days. I'm not bothering to copy all the hundreds of similar older ones, or any of the hate and threats I get by PM and email (one of which required me to call the police). Nor have I included anything posted on sites other than where I personally upload the content (youtube/nexus) but having once made the mistake of googling my mod, I'm aware of the amount of bile directed at UV elsewhere on the internet...
Really I'd just like to know if i'm the only one who has to read this kind of thing? Is it considered acceptable? I'm really not sure how long I'll be putting up with it. I'm relatively thisck skinned, and I've taken it since release day in june. Point is though, I can see why people decide to leave the community and take their marbles with them. I don't enjoy being threatened.
I'm giving it a month maybe two, which is when I expect to see UV RC2 released. If things haven't settled down by then UV RC2 will be by request only and RC1 will be pulled from public availability.
If I'm honest I'm probably just feeling annoyed this morning and would like to hear a friendly word or two. The community on this site has generally been very supportive of me and my work. I just can't help feeling like I'm wasting my time working on the thing.
