I want to apologize, or rather sympathize. I didn't see any links, so I suppose that McAfee must have blocked them. I just feel badly that you're just getting the ugly end of the abuse stick in this thread, and I think it's as much over the links as it is the character. While the character seems okay to me, the general concensus seems to be that it's overpowered and that, somehow that makes you a bad person for owning the character sheet, for feeling that you have a right to badwrongfun, or that your last DM gave your character some neat gear.
You've been around long enough to know that folks aren't always so vicious in their constructive criticisms here at ENWorld, and previous posts by the folks who've posted in this thread have lead me to believe that they're all reasonable folks, and I still believe that.
Anyway, sorry that you've been at the brunt of this thread; that's not cool, but, ever so rarely, it happens.
Good luck with the new game, and hopefully, this thread has already given you as much of an answer as you expected, even if it wasn't what you'd hoped, or how it might, ideally, have been phrased.
Edit: okay, I see the link now. I guess I just tend to ignore most links.
