Would it kill you to actually say thank you to David for providing 
you with what is, in my opinion, much-needed feedback for your 
untested game? I consider all of the points he raises to be 
well-thought out, valid concerns which you should address if you 
want to improve your game-designing ability.

Your message below clearly states that Inflitr8 has met the 
same fate as Pawnopoly - i.e. that of being unfinished and 
untested, with no attempt to make it work even after constructive 
criticism has been provided. So how else do you expect David to 
respond? I totally understand his feeling that you have no 
respect for him as a gamer who wants to try and help you get 
your game on the right track, i.e. into something that is playable 
and enjoyable.
