  It might not have been intentional, but you are wrong:

"For some reason the Pov Ray Gods have decided its okay to expire the current
beta without putting up a new one"

  This sounds a lot like sarcasm. "Pov Ray Gods" sounds like "do they think
they are superior to us and do whatever they please without taking into
account us?"

"Hopefully these so called programming mavens will see the harm they are
doing"

  This is an insulting expression ("these so called programming mavens") and
shows a degree of arrogance: You are the suffering victim and they are the
bad guys who are making you suffer either because of ignorance, incapability
or even deliberately.

  If this is not despise, what is?
