Each map file depends on the two shared map files and the two dlls. I think we can safely assume that a significant portion of the CE userbase downloads only from HaloMaps. That's five sequential downloads just to play the first level, as opposed to one, and it's more intimidating to the novice user than just putting a single file in a folder. Dennis isn't the only webmaster I know who has made similar comments on how easy it is for the average user to be put off.
harass
- to disturb persistently; torment, as with troubles or cares; bother continually; pester; persecute.
Considering how jcap has refused to let this issue go, posted a whole new thread because he didn't like CMT's decision, and has taken many opportunities to insult members of the team, I'd say it's fair to call that harassment. Most everyone else has been perfectly fine, and I have no issue with them regardless of their stance on OS.
