    The T10 critique, taken in context of the preceding posts, was fairly reasonable. It wasn't by any means complimentary, but it was actually constructive, especially considering what tone the other party had been taking in recent posts (yes, that was apparently a misunderstanding, but not obvious at the time).
    Yeah, long posts are kind of my thing. I should at least try to lay off. But, that critique... even if we take the previous context into account, two wrongs do not make a right. That criticism was not constructive in the slightest. To provide constructive criticism requires elements of actual construction. The criticizer needs to make an attempt to put what they see as broken back together again. The broken object in this case was simply declared as broken and nothing more. It also must focus on the work at hand, not the person performing it. This was violated when the criticized was insulted by being called a liability. This was, hands down, the most caustic, belittling, and downright insulting critique of another player's strategy and person I've ever seen on these forums. So, yes, I pointed it out. When I'm impassioned, I tend to be verbose so that I can get my point across perfectly clearly; the idea of something I say being interpreted as meaning something entirely different than my intention terrifies me.

    That isn't exactly what was going on, but you're otherwise correct. We got way off topic; so off topic that I'm surprised the mods didn't close the thread.

    However... let's go back to the actual question this thread asked: "Is Spell Speed viable on a WHM?". Our answer was that yes, it is viable. Any WHM build is viable as long as any Piety requirements are satisfied. The OP thanked us for the answer and then proceeded to only post once more in the thread to clarify something.

    The purpose of this thread... it ended on the sixth post. Almost everything that's happened since then has actually been off topic. Maybe we should just leave things alone now.
