Congratulations. I'm sure that's more than you get from people who care.

Aww, going soft on us? You don't act like an asshole - more a wingey
baby. To act like an asshole you'd need to hold brown in your mouth for
many hours.
No, I'm sure the RPG community could manage without your sprite
generator. Let me point out a few things to you here.
1) It's made in flash. Flash is not good as a primary design element.
More so when the flash doesn't even load unless I turn on JunkieScript.
I, much the same as anyone who has the sense to leave JS off, doesn't
find a blank, black page interesting. You could make the same thing
using proper (X)HTML better, faster and more extensible.
2) It is excruciatingly slow to load. Are you running your servers on
286s? It took 17 seconds to get one single image.
3) You are using HTML 3.01.
4) You send the whole lot of sprites to the server only for it to just
save the bitmaps as a PNG. All that can be done in PHP
5) The saving animation actually does nothing at all - it's simply a
sprite. A very pointless, time wasting sprite.

Ooh, I wouldn't go so far as to call your insults invective - they're
not all that bad really. It seems you think a lot more of your insults
than the people you try to victimise do. I read them more as
entertainment. I now look forward to checking thunderbird for the new
quips you seem to invent. And tell me, how do you have a verbal fire? It
seems you have the wrong idea as to what a conflagration is. It is not a
verb - it is a noun.
