nowhere in his posts does he say the vanilla launcher works

This sounds what we in the tech support industry refer to as an ID:10-T error. You want to look for anything that would block IP connectivity such as the windows firewall or and AntiVirus firewall you may have. The problem is something on your computer. Don't belive me? Trying typing "ping minecraft.net" into a command prompt window.

technic/tekkit is the only way I even know railcraft exists. On top of that if I felt so inclined I know exactly where to go to donate to railcraft because of technic's donate page. I would think mod authors would just be happy to get the exposure and not get so upset about being incorporated into a pack like this.

this was the wrong way to handle this. Instead of coming in demanding the mod be removed how about asking first if this was just an oversight, or something malicious.
