Jimlock, you are treading dangerously close to violating the Stormwind Fallacy, and also this boards rules on flaming. Your fun isn't any more "right" than anyone else's fun. If you have fun believing as you do, that’s fine. If you come here and say "my fun is better than your fun", well, real world wars have started from comments similar to that. You stated your opinion; others have respectfully disagreed with you, citing various rules, theses, and schools of thought. You have responded to that criticism with childish attacks on those presenting the arguments, claiming that because they don't think like you, they are "bad RPers" or "munchkins" or whatever. You are welcome to hold your own opinions and argue them in a respectful fashion. You are not welcome to flame other posters, regardless of your or their standing.
For your information, I have roleplayed with Dandu, and he is very adept at portraying a character, both mechanically and personality-wise. He made a character that had beliefs, values, depth, motivation, history, SUBSTANCE. He is also a competent short story author, and I'd imagine, would be very competent DM. So, apparently you are strawmanning, creating fault in someone of which you have NO prior knowledge, which is neither attractive nor likely to win you friends.
I have also build character builds with Dandu. He is extremely competent at building characters, even in a Core only environment. He also shows incredible restraint in avoiding the most absurdly dodgy rules like Celerity, Streamers, and similar ridiculously absurd things. It’s called Practical Optimization: building a character mechanically able to perform a role competently while being held to a set of restrictions, most generally involving a power ceiling. Most of the character building help given out here is PO advice, because if it wasn't, it would all be "play Pun-Pun n00b", since Pun-Pun is the strongest, most optimized character in the 3.5 rule set. Period.
So yea, in closing...I know this is the internet and you enjoy a certain amount of anonymity here, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be a douche.
EDIT:
Classy...let me summarize your contributions to this thread:
You: "Hey guys, I found something that is totally brokenly powerful"
Others: "Its not really as powerful as you think. Here are the reasons why"
You: "Screw you guys!" *breaks toys and stomps about*

Irony? Hey, pot, the kettle called. He said he want's his black back...
