Nobody is trying to single you out, nobody is making an example of
you, nobody is witch hunting anyone. Everyone just wants to make
your theme the best it can be and work with you to get your theme
live. Just consider this when interacting and don't assume someone's
actions. Asking and having an open discussion with a person always
works better.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<div>Thank you Justin.<br>
<br>
</div>
and I'm sorry to all if my comment about "witch
hunt target" is a too "strong".<br>
</div>
I didn't mean it that way. I'm truly understand what
the reviewer suggested is good. very good.<br>
<br>
</div>
I responded that way because i feel, maybe as example:<br>
</div>
<br>
I want to create a passport, and I completed all the
legal document, <br>
and finally after hours and hours of waiting in line I
take photo shoot,<br>
</div>
and all I need is to wait for the passport.<br>
</div>
But suddenly they said that<br>
</div>
"Sir, you need to cut your hair, i think your passport photo
will look better"<br>
and i respond: "No thanks, I think i look fine."<br>
</div>
and they respond "Are you sure you want to look like this in
your photo? You need to cut your hair. Your photo is going to be
there for 5 years."<br>
<br>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>of course my respond would be "what the..." i need
to clarify about the passport registration procedure.<br>

<div>Recommended guidelines are only recommended.
It's often a good idea to do them, but you are not
required to do so. </div>

</span>
<div>It'd be great if reviewers would mention these
things, but there's no reason a reviewer should hold
a theme back from being approved for things marked
recommended.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, not all guidelines that are recommended are
good for every theme. For example, the custom
background feature is a recommended feature, but it
doesn't make sense to use that feature in all
themes. In fact, it can be a downright horrible
feature to use with some theme designs. Basically,
recommended items are things we want you to be aware
of. We want you to think about whether these
additions would be a good thing for your theme.</div>
