Hi Dialyn. I think you truly do owe me a personal apology for your attacks on me yesterday. To say today that you feel like a truck has been run all over your dreams, is something you probably owe me another apology for. Dialyn, I know this is probably hard for you to imagine, but Renderosity's success, and PoserPros success, are not two mutually exclusive concepts. At least not to Russell and I. And though it may also be hard for you to imagine, by dissing PoserPros and me, and any accomplishments I make for whatever reason you are doing so, you are running over MY dreams, and the dreams of thousands of other artists with the same sort of metaphorical truck you fantacise people are running over your dreams with. We too have dreams Dialyn. Dreams of a happy day in this community when artist, and even staff, are compensated for their hard work... or more accurately stated, compensated more on the order of what their hard work is worth. We have dreams of a day when this political war that goes on from Rosity towards us ceases to exist, and we can merely be a normal everyday member here, able to speak our minds, like everyone else. Can you help us to fullfill those dreams? I held out my hand to you in friendship, and a genuinely heart felt show of kindness, to try to give you something I thought you would find joy and happiness in for Christmas, since I feared you were implying you could not afford it at that moment. This was not grandstanding, or attempting to back you into some corner where you had to sign up on our site or else... it is just the only way I had to legally transfer the file to you... purchase it on my own account, and then have our gift certificate code send you the download link. Can you not even accept a gesture of peace and friendship? Is it that I am a "competitor"? Is it that you seem to feel that I am some sort of "enemy" of this site? Even enemies and competitors must be showed courtesy and honor, if one is to retain one's own honor. Long ago, I learned that a worthy competitor is also the most worthy ally. Perhaps someday Dialyn, if my OWN dreams come true, you and I will be friends, able to laugh about all these old bad times, and share good warm feelings of "comrades in arms", both with just and righteous causes, showing honor and respect to one another. That is my Holiday Dream for you and I Dialyn.
