Warlock -

I've been to GameFAQs. Many times (to my chagrin, I'm not nearly as good as I used to be =P). But like I said, he was asking US if we had any CUSTOM-MADE codes we had created ourselves. Hence GameFAQs would be excessive.

Now, like I said, I agree that a lot of what he's looking for is going to be stuff he could find on his own. But we've all got access to plenty of BE content - that doesn't mean we don't all want more. And this forum offers another group of people to question with regards to their custom-made codes, unavailable anywhere else. So no, you did not give him a link to what he wanted. You gave him a link to codes, but it's entirely possible that we as a community had personally-created unique codes specifically unavailable on GameFAQs, which is in fact what he was requesting. Go back and read my response to your post - I already outlined this. I think you just read what you wanted to in his request, and assumed the worst.

I'm unfamiliar w/his history (like I said, haven't been over to BEA for a while), so I can understand why you might make that mistake. But it doesn't change the fact that it is a mistake. I appreciate your dislike for leeches, and I share it. All I'm suggesting is that you make sure that everybody you flame (and make no mistake about it, your later posts -were- flames) deserves it... Because irrespective of knowledge about his prior history, your response was a bit over the line.

We're all here for the same reason, and I think it's worthwhile to try and get everybody to contribute as much as is possible... but browbeating those who don't necessarily live up to one particular standard isn't always particularly useful. Just saying.
