I took a quick look, and I already know it isn't worth replying there. I'll give you a single example as to why:

Quoting the user: "Hmmm... Well, for starters, the overview says, "In Valenza Family, you step into the shoes of Michael Valenza, a cunning and often ruthless made man...". If the protagonist's last name is Valenza, then he would be a family member, not a made man. If the protagonist is a made man, then his last name would be anything except Valenza. Just thought the author might like to know."

And now I'll tell you my answer to that - 

If a Don of an Italian Mafia family promotes his son or daughter without them properly earning their place, several key issues and potential consequences could arise within the organization. Mafia families operate on a system of earned respect and loyalty. Promoting someone without them proving their worth can lead to resentment among soldiers and capos who have worked their way up. It may be seen as a violation of the code of meritocracy that ensures survival and loyalty within the organization. And this is just cherry from the top. There are numerous factors here that speak heavily against this approach. And this is just me being nice and not writing a whole factual book on it.

Moral of the story here? Being smart is fine. But trying to be smart for sake of being smart is not, if it turns out that what you said is dumb. 

Okay, I wasn't expecting a history lesson on the mob. From your reply, I don't think you would fit in well on F95. You're pretty tightly wound.  

Cheers

No, not really buddy. Not anymore anyway. PS: I know you already. You're a good guy. Take it easy. Its nothing against you.

Yeah, I was thrown by the "dumb question" remark. No worries. I understand the situation better now. It sounds like you have a good friend on F95 in Merlin-Magic. Cheers.

Oh yeah, Merlin is a great guy. Not all is so dark, there's quite a few civilized people and nice people there. Sadly... they're gems in the sand. The rest, not worth the trouble.

I've noticed him before. He is always positive or gives constructive advice. I try to do my part by offering to proofread for free.  ( some devs actually want to pay me. Haha ) 

Proof read. Tough gig there, but plenty of work for sure. And why not? If someone wants to tip you for your work, that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong there, so you can at the very least grab a cup of coffee for fair effort!
