Let's see if I can explain this in a way someone with an open mind might understand: 1.) The proper Christmas spirit is not shown if you only give the left shoe to someone who obviously needs both shoes. 2.) The proper Christmas spirit is not shown by insulting the recipient of the gift. Ever. 3.) If an artist sells his/her work at DAZ, Renderosity, or another web site, they represent that web site. If I buy from that web site, I am a customer. 4.) Someone who wants to make money from sales should never ever insult their customers, or potential customers. And they surely should not wHine if an insulted person threatens to boycott their products in the future. And you're sadly mistaken if you think I have the power to influence others to boycott you. 5.) I dare say most everyone in the forums uses aliases these days. It is only appropriate to accept those aliases on their own merit. If you do not agree, then start using your own name instead of an alias. Otherwise, that's enough of the consipiracy theories. 6.) I don't so much have a problem with the gifts as I do the very negative attitude that goes with them. 7.) There is never any justification for insulting someone. And don't make things worse by telling your victims they should enjoy the Christmas spirit. Stop and really think of what Christmas is all about. I don't see much evidence of that spirit in this thread.
