"Momoka's article, once again, was great and used good examples. It got a little silly and over the top at times, but that sort of fit in with the theme of the article. Looking forward to more.

OK, about "In Pursuit of Pleasure." I really hate having to call something out like this, but the tone of this article turned me off from the very beginning. Even though the author has some interesting things to say, the fact that he basically just called me and every other OHR developer a mental patient doesn't sit well. The tone was actually so harsh and biased that I ended up only trying to find things I hated about the article (reminded me of playing Sword of Jade). I will refrain from actually pointing out my issues with the arguments since they likely sprang from my distaste for the tone.

Instead I'll just say, Taylor Bair or anyone planning on writing an article, before you go telling people how to create any kind of work, keep in mind the most important rule: Know and respect your audience. They will be the ones reading your writings, and you do not want them to lose respect for YOU from the get-go. This article reminds me of the time Squall came back to Castle Paradox and started bashing every developer in the community and then tried to give them advice. It made me lose a lot of respect for him, even if he did have a legitimate argument. I'm not saying Taylor Bair needs to apologize for this article, but I caution any author against making the same error. The intent was to educate, not to offend, but it did a better job of pulling off the second for me.

James's article was fantastic; my favorite of the issue. Please pick something besides Bob Surlaw or Mr. Triangle for the next one, thanks. I'm getting tired of seeing them in everything." -JSH (Discussion of this article continued here)
