Wanzerfreak: STOP! Hammer time! Can't touch that topic!.
You're still in the safezone, and not on that level of what happened the last time with Guppy. I suggest making friends rather than making enemies: encourage the kid to become better at designing, tell him NICELY about the reasons why some parts are banned in tournament play and why other parts are just really bad. Don't get discouraged just because you think he has set his AC in stone, it just takes a little convincing on your part to change his mind and don't forget to do it nicely.
Even if the internet is a land of flame wars and such, its much much better to cooperate with each other. As much as I agree with your goals and there is nothing wrong with being critical with another person's design, I do not agree with the methods you use which others see as borderline insults. Its still not too late, you can still be a Jedi and not turn to the dark side! :wink:
