[Threshold]

I don't think anyone was critiquing your advertisement. The person who originally asked the question about the armor did so in response to one of your later posts - not the original announcement.

Furthermore, you should be kinda psyched that he read your post in enough detail to even notice. The armor system does look extremely detailed. That's all the more reason for someone to inquire about something that looked unusual.

Lastly, considering most mud advertisements get ignored and rarely generate any discussion, you should actually be happy there was something worth discussing.

I think you're unnecessarily taking offense. Nobody was attacking you or your mud. It was just something a little strange that piqued someone's interest (and then once he asked you about it, that made me curious as well - when at first I hadn't really noticed).
