Yes, it is possible, but typically only when it is constructive criticism. Not when it's just petty insulting crap about 'goof off kids'. > I don't think anyone here is placing any direct fault on you, and I > think it is really unproductive for you to respond to every concern > people have about EXTRAS with this kind of temper tantrum. I think I've never responded to anything about extras with that sort of temper tantrum. I think I was told I was called a 'goof off kid' and told that my work was barely pre-alpha. I think that was insulting, incorrect and not-constructive. > Rather than being insulted when the inevitable discussions occur, why > not ask "What am I doing wrong?", "What other important project would > you like me to drop in order to fix this?", and "Is there any > consensus that this is important, or even a problem?".

I think that's a better question. -sv
