But sure, let's all play the strawman game instead. It's always fun to overreact and call things people say "garbage" and punctuating your outrage with "absolutely disgusting display"! If credit's given, who cares? Obviously this guy didn't give credit, he should have but he didn't so far. However, I think Mors' original post was quite pointed, almost hostile - this "nowe reginald" guy doesn't seem to have the best grasp on English, so I suspect his lack of crediting the Flashback team was possibly a mistake.
But of course, with so many of the awful things going on in the world, I can always count on MFGG to remind me of the real atrocities going on in our lives: Mario fan sprites being used without permission.
Credit is also not enough, not everyone is okay with their stuff being used in other fangames. And I even stated in the site that I didn't want the music to be used in other games, and his English is fine enough to understand that.
