To be honest Nensec reeks of the 'I do this for my JOB, so therefore I know EVERYTHING about this subject and you OBVIOUSLY aren't as smart as you think you are' attitude that some people get.
Even if he wasn't scraping at first, he could have changed it to make people simply upload all images required (ie upload a skin and upload the dragon image) (also, I haven't been to the site, so I don't know exactly how it works) and that would have been that.
Instead he wanted to 'show the staff up' because obviously they don't know how the tool works, and what scraping is /s and get into an argument.
Then when staff didn't immediately fall overthemselves to apologize, he threw a hissy fit.
Sadly, though, you have too many people who are of the thought 'staff are big meanies who hate skinmakers'.
What immediately made me suspicious that he was always scraping is the part where he was saying 'so like a browser'? when his tool is NOT a browser. It is a third party site that pulls images from FR's site.
