:) I do appreciate the support. It helps. It really does and makes what I do fun and enjoyable. It is just that they odd case out is usually so nasty it gets to you. I have been compared to nazis, accused of wanting to murder someones baby(remember Laura Wagner), accused of trying to rip people off, called a liar. I get people argeeing with themselves as clones to rally suppoort for themselves. It's insane at times. I used to have the same people coming into all of my old posts saying my stuff was "over proced" just trying to badger me into lowering prices. Just manipulation. Over 7 years I only ever made 5 warez posts...just 5 over seven years. Yup thats it... only 5, but a few crazies have peole thinking I am paranoid. What about the other 100 times I never said anything? And I was right in every one and proved it. I have never been wrong or mistaken in that regards. Not even once. If I try to defend my work I have been called "paranoid", "histeronic", "unable to take criticism". I don't mind criticism but when did just plain insult slinging become considered as "criticsm". I just personally fed up with people who have an agenda but won't say what it is. It's not fair. It's mean I never see anyone else ever having their work or effort put down and insulted in the forums except mine. That does get to me after while. It's not fair. I paid my dues. I don't deserve it..noone does. There is a double standard and it upsets me. I always answer questions and try to help other merchants yet I get these blackmail posts like: "Can I sue Daz", "The truth about Anton", etc It sickens me. It is easy to say shrug it off if it isn't you. I am just really tired of it. FOr whatever reasons people do it it is wrong. I have made freebies, I have done tutorials too, I offered advice to merchants here. And I have never lied to anyone even if it isn't what they wanted to hear. If it was just one person it would be awesome. But when you get it from multiple people it wears on your nerves. I see nothing flattering in what Khrys had to say. It was just a nasty stab coated in sugar. Not wanting to be insulted doesn't make you sensitive. The worst part is that this seems normal now and acceptable. years ago people never used posts to get what they wanted. Okay, going to stop work this weekend and go to the movies. :) Mybe I will rent the Disney movie and count the references to Gypsies.
