Having read what I could in the previous thread (I hate that people can delete their messages and cause a thread to lose continuity) and in this thread I think this situation was handled better than most I've seen over my many years at Renderosity and what came before. It is always hard to read tone in a message. Perhaps it is better not to try. I have seen hostile messages here from both members and moderators. Believe me, your responses were not hostile and if members wanted to virtually "burn you at the stake", "fuck you", or "shot in the streets" they would have. Perhaps the rude way to handle it would have been an outright and immediate lock and ban. It seems to have happened before. Perhaps the rude way would have been for members to jump in with either choice or nonsensical words. That has definitely happened before (I'm guilty). Instead it appears that people responded directly, but respectfully. With as much yelling as their is about the inconsistencies and problems with this site one thing that seems to remain clear is the goal to protect someone's work. "I now realize that I should never ask for people to do things for me. I can't model worth jack in any case. Do you think it's easy to make a 3D model when you have cerebral palsy and poor spatial awareness?" Please don't over reach or over analyze. We all have challenges. Do you want pity? This has been and is a generous community. Look for available freebee substitutes or perhaps politely request that one of the very talented modeling members help you out.
