Hmm. Depending on my mood, I can interpret this all the way from "good job, keep up the good work" down to "f**k you, I'm doing what I want, in spite of your arrogant pitiful attempts at interference".

Since I can't tell what it is, and I am researching how online communities interact, would you mind elaborating what range of emotion you attached (but didn't express explicitly) in that statement? For the record, and for the research. Thank you.
