Voting your own work + AVS responsiveness

[UnConeD]

Right. I've just read another 0 star comment on Whacko AVS VI, complaining that my presets suck once more. How nice. On top of that the writer is complaining that I voted on my own work. More detailed:

That it is: Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be broken on the wheel.

Aside from the fact that the author should get off his high horse and recognize that his stupid threats don't mean anything to a person who is not a christian fundamentalist, he's also irritatingly forgetting one thing: this is the only way I can reply to the people who crack down my work. There's no email link or any other way to contact a visitor who reviews, except to post a review yourself (which could easily be disabled by the admins if it was so bad).

If someone says my AVS presets suck, I'd like to defend myself (provided they use actual arguments), which is what I did. I didn't praise my work into the heavens, I simply pointed out some facts. Except of course the fact that I gave it 5 stars, because you're not allowed to give no rating, and because that's what the staff review gave me. The writer immediately concludes that I "can't stand critics".

What do you think about this? I think voting for yourself is overly enhanced by the fact that it says "blablabla gave it [5 stars]" which indeed makes it look like you're kissing your own ass. But then again, you must be dumb to ignore the whole slab of text below it that's validating those 5 stars.

Now onto another AVS-related issue... I'm tired of people complaining about reponsiveness in my presets when 90% of all AVS presets don't respond more than 'Use The Force' (all that is reponsive is the ship's rotation and shooting. Surprised?).
Seriously, take a look at the AVS components and how they respond to different things: moving particle is pretty random aside from radius; the 3D effect from dot fountain is usually so mangled by movements that you just see a bunch of swirly dots; etc. And as far as the oscilloscope or spectrum drawing scopes go, usually the signal itself is warped beyond recognition too. AVS is about things moving around, using the music as a generator for mostly pseudo-random movements.

I just don't see why people complain about this with my presets. Presets with just onbeat response have been around for ages, yet people seem to have the illusion that before complicated 3D presets, every pixel AVS calculated was 100% pure music. How come similar packs like Pickin Dim or El-vis' History (yes, it contains just as many unresponsive presets) get nothing but rave reviews, and I get stuck with assholes saying it's not true to AVS? Perhaps the answer is indeed "no style or visual appeal", but I'd figure I'd get nothing but 0 stars then.
