From Shild:

I should preface this: He's a fanatic. HRose is a fanatic about MMOG design. Even though he has no experience and zero rationale behind most of what he says. He's just blabbering to hear himself speak. He's got zero credentials for 99% of the statements he makes and tries to pass them off like his opinion matters. But really, he's just another forum lurker poking around for whatever attention he can get from devs. He's like that dev from the WH40K studio who posted here, except he hasn't gotten a 'break' yet. Fuck, I can't remember that guys name. He's like Grunk, except he somehow became a developer. Whatever, let's just call him Shortbus.
