Well Hendricks sure as fuck isn't that one idiot itt, that obviously knows fuck all about programming. Hendricks appreciates that GDX is a legit reverse engineer and he also wasn't a fan of BloodEX, as shown in this cap. I don't know what Hendricks is actually upset about, looks like programmer pettiness or jealousy. Apparently he was upset that GDX is using eDuke32's polymost despite being closed source, is using illegal code and he doesn't agree that it uses Java (lol). At one point in the thread below he also flat out says, "m-my Blood port will be better!" He was pretty much on a passive aggressive crusade throughout it, weird stuff. M210 ignores him throughout for the most part, it's a pretty fun read.

Actually, even Hendricks admits that BloodGDX is an in-progress faithful reverse engineer.

^In this entire thread he never attacks the actual gameplay of the port (actually no one does). Apparently his problem with it is that it's using Java, an argument I really don't understand. It runs very solid at like 3000 FPS and I haven't experienced a single crash even in its current beta form so why is Java such a grave sin? I guess it's just programmer pettiness. Another problem he has with it is that it apparently uses illegal code or some shite. To me it just sounds like he's jelly that someone else managed to actually do something worthwhile with Blood's and it wasn't him. In that same thread I believe later on he flat out says that his own port will be better (yeah my ass it will ever even be completed).

I don't really know what his problem is or follow the drama but for some reason Hendricks is pretty passive aggressive the whole thread and M210 just ignores him. This anon provided some apparent background to the situation: >>4253614
