Eeeks, I could have sworn I reposted this! Maybe it did not upload :( I'll try again :) ======================================================== Ok, now that I have clarified that it was only me complaining of bad treatment of me that Dee-Marie found offensive, and the precise complaint she found offensive, I will work on re-posting my message :) I trust this will be satisfactory to you Mom! :) ======================================================== Original Post - Edited to remove what Dee-Marie finds offensive: LOL! Since we are all able to "speak our mind", I'd like to point out Dee-Marie, that with all due respect, we cannot possibly be discussing the same Renderosity ;p The WHOLE REASON the TOS exists here is so that the community CANNOT speak it's mind. This has just been proved that after all ;p One cannot say what anyone is REALLY thinking, one can only drop hints, because if one really speaks one's mind things get deleted. Ok, but enough of the freedom of speech issue. That is not what this is about. As for 3d World Magazine, refusing to read it, or buy it, or support it, is sort of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Ironically, anyone who boycotts 3D World Magazine based on silly little things like who has been published in it is actually giving Renderosity less support than Russell and I do every single month. You see, Rosity is a major supporter of 3D World Magazine, contributing a several page gallery spread every single issue. 3D World in turn reciprocates by driving traffic here. We buy 3D World every month, and so we support both New World Publishing, AND Renderosity ;p Speaking of support... despite the personal prejudice toward me of many people who shall not be named, and their obnoxious and rude treatment bordering on a type of cyber-stalking level of abuse toward me, I STILL come here and buy things from this Marketplace so as to ensure that Renderosity survives, and that their artists flourish financially. I am not so prejudiced toward other sites that I would refuse to even just visit, refuse to buy, just because I find certain people to be unpleasant from my own personal perspective. I have some serious concerns though that anyone who is on any staff anywhere may wish to consider in their heart. If one is so prejudiced toward other sites, and so sensitized that one needs to twist every thing one hears about another site into something bad, or any post made by another site's staff into something bad, is one really suited to being a staff member on any site? Staff need to grow a much thicker skins or they lose their minds.
