If the script was broken or it caused problems it wouldn't hurt to state 
what these problems. Correct me if I'm something here but I have idea 
what these problems were. If the script caused problems then what stops 
someone creating their own script that works the same way?

IMHO the text posted is likely worse than what was there before since it 
just makes a bunch of claims with no info.
