That's not true at all. Hell, Kit himself hadn't even decided if he was going to accept them until a couple of days later. He was looking for input, but was once again engaged in a hostile manner. The topic was brought here for input. I have no idea why anyone perceived it as anything other than that.

Whose money? Whose time? If you don't see a minor amount of flexibility in design as an issue, then why not allow for it? This is my biggest point of confusion. You and GG seem to argue against it while saying it's not any different than the current free site. Then you call it a change. I've never studied quantum physics, but I'm fairly certain you can't have change in a state unchangedness. (new word) So which is it, a change, or not a change - and what exactly are we arguing about?

I see Sergeyka and Borgivan reacting to GG's hostility. I'm not certain that they are necessarily defending Kit at much as poking at GG. I suppose I could defend him, but he's done nothing but piss me off in this thread. Also, I'm not entirely certain over what Kit's opinion is, other than link lists, and therefore submitters, are in trouble. I happen to agree with that. I don't have a huge arsenal of free sites out there, but I can't even tell you when the last time I saw a new sale came in from one of my old sites, and they used to make sales. One is better off being a gallery submitter today than a free site builder.

There was never any reason for this battle. Several of us small link list owners, who I had always assumed were respected here, were discussing the idea before GG's first post:

That's when it went right to shit.
Oh there was also this gem:

The entire purpose of this thread was to DISCUSS IT HERE.
And was this necessary?

If the bashing is going to continue on OTB for yet another week, why would anyone bother listening? I have enough closed-mindedness in my life.
Being that I'm involving myself in yet another venture that is going to require promotion, I was really hoping to begin building free sites at the end of this month, but I'm so damn frazzled at this point, I doubt I'll even bother with them, which is regrettable since I am link list owner.
