Well Lyrra, I let it drop on the 22nd, you're the one that decided to enter the fray "late" as it were, with a snippy retort aimed directly at me.

Cast aspersions on Dodger? No that's not what I did. I questioned the validity of the modification and distribution of mesh without the permission of the copyright holder. Moving some points in the original mesh and only distributing what amounts to those moved points is still distributing a derivative of the original whether you like it or not.

Encoding was developed as a way for derivations to be distributed so as not to distribute the entire mesh with the derivations to someone that didn't have the original mesh; not to circumvent needing permission to distribute derivations.

As far as Twain commenting about plagiarism, perhaps he wouldn't have felt as complemented had he lost money such as Steffyzz has. Now, mind you, I did not accuse Dodger of plagiarism, so quoting Twain in this case probably didn't apply.

Whether there is an infringement here or a simple case of discourtesy makes no difference. Dodger is obviously concerned with protecting his own work as he has apparently complained and voiced concerns about another content creator using the name Puck for a figure in the Renderosity Marketplace. Why shouldn't he be as concerned about getting permission from JoatMon to modify and distribute the corset as he is about what he considers an infringement of his trademark.

I don't think you're a bad person. In fact, I have always admired you and your willingness to listen to both sides of the story, without passing judgement on people, when you were a Mod. I have no objection to you disagreeing with me. I just felt your personal admonishment of me for expressing my concerns and opinion, uncalled for.

I irritated you? Perhaps you should take a deep breath and count to 10 and avoid "dumping" on someone next time. ;oP
