First of all none of this has anything to do with the product issues - good attempt at a smoke screen though. Yes I approached you because you werren't selling anywhere at all I offered you a position to earn 80% of your sales and I offered to get you victoria, I thought your work was fabulous. But I put a condition on that and I asked that you let us see a few models first before I purchased Vicki and possible Stephanie for you. You weren't interested in waiting for vicki and decided not sell at all. What did I care? I am a firm believer that all have the right to choose their own paths and business requires that you sell where you want to and where you think it will benefit you the most. Anyone who has seen me around knows that. I may have an issue if you'd "promised" an agreement with me - but you did no such thing so why should I be aggravated? I did wonder about LadyDarkMage but I didn't know anything was simmering - you never let on you were angry or upset. You had simply written a long letter when I asked about the conforming issue explaining that you weren't currently interested in selling anything as you were new to modelling and didn't feel you were yet ready and I responded telling you that if you ever changed you mind to let me know. Exactly what was simmering there? I thought everything was fine. We didn't email back and forth or anything, but I figured you weren't big on that as it took you a few days to respond to my question about conforming. Secondly get your facts straight - Stormrage has nothing to do with 3-D Arena, I don't know if she is even a member there, she never posts there. Tons of people don't sell at 3-D Arena lol am I supposed to hold a grudge against everyone of them?? Some of the nicest people I know don't broker there - doesn't make me fuming mad. As for you - you not wanting to be a 3DA modeller when I wouldn't buy you vicki is so low on my radar screen that I don't even notice you. It took me a while to even notice you had products in the store here. But since you didn't matter to me one way or the other I bought from yo because they looked cool. To say that the 'rosity testers are into details is a bit moot - members here know better than that and it is an attempt to validate what you have done. It was tested so well that the Gothic top throws an error message on load that asks for a nonexistent file - even Jeff saw this and said you'd have to fix it. Blows that theory. Furthermore most people know that P4 needs geometry files in tehgeometry folder - the store here doesn't require that - again blows your theory of well tested and detailed by the staff. Yes you replied quickly, referring me to Clint. When I asked if that meant you weren't going to fix it you referred me to Clint and Jeff. Not exactly super customer support. As for my "standing" in the poser community - I don't claim to have one and that doesn't matter to me. However I do have a reputation for upfront honesty. I am known to call it as I see it - probably drives the admins here crazy, but I don't back down from my beliefs easily. As for my "over-reaction" in public? I am not over reacting - I want to know if the public finds this standards from 'rosity acceptable? Is it acceptable that a customer has to move and edit files to get them to work for the program they are released for? The general consensus seems to be NO. The POWL has it's geometries in the correct folders - the gothic clothing does not. Jeff states that a default vicki is one with the soften hip morph turned off - aopparantly many disagree a default vicki is as loaded. If you don't know how to morph then just state in your readme that the soften hip morph is an issue. Now on to your personal commets - the best way to diffuse is to attack right BVH? "tacky shameless plugs seems to be the 'forte of miss you-know-who " Uhm where did I plug 3-D Arena?/ you and Rena mentioned it first. "I'm sure I'll soon be publicly famous at 3-d Arena" Not likely - we prefer to play with adults over there and your behaviour here is anything but professional or mature. I want items fixed (I havce said that I didn't want a refund, just the item to be fixed) and instead you talk about payback?? Watch it there child, I may behave myself online - because I do have a fair reputation, but make no doubts about it I can be a serious BITCH - it's in my indian and welsh blood. If that had been my intention my posts would have been seriously nasty and not praised your designs and concepts. Again you mentioned Stormrage - I don't even really know Stormrage - get your facts straight boy. Recruiting friends?? I asked in one other forum at PP because it is full of really talented modellers and has a learning forum. Where did I get my friends involved? By asking at PP if I was being unreasonable or if the majority agreed. And you keep forgetting we aren't talking about only one product here I am talking about 3 different products all of which had problems. I have never bought multiple items that had consistent problems from one vendor. Had it only been the POWL I probably would have dropped it. But it was all the purchases I made. I've read comments about slander as well - well guess what implying that my images are postworked or whatever you are trying to imply is slander - that is implying fraud and if I were to ever commit a crime of fraud I can guarantee you it would be for a far better reason than you. It is also slanderous of you to involve stormrage in your screeching and to say that I and my staff are thugs is a personal attack that I would expect the admins here to do something about. Though you will probably get away with it because it is against members/staff of a competitve site. I tried not to stay focused primarily on POWL but it's hard to show invisible pants you know? And the top issue is one that Jeff agreed had to be fixed. When one looks at all of these things it points to a consistency in your work.
