so perhaps they themselves feel that same attitude XENOPHONZ and dialyn seem to have and probably just want to follow instructions and do what have to.
I can't speak for others -- but I can speak for myself.
I've never been a follower. As some can attest -- to their dismay.
But I do have enough mental acuity to recognize when and where I happen to agree with someone else.
And I agree with much of what Renderosity has done for themselves. Not all of it, but the majority of it.
Because I have a grasp of their reasoning.
An agreement between allies is not the same thing as a leader/follower type of relationship.
Attempts are often made to somehow lessen or to invalidate my positions by bringing in the spurious accusation of "doing what one is told".
At least in my case, you have no concept of just what an utterly ridiculous charge that is.............
There are other types of sites with other types of purposes. Those sites cater to a different demographic.
So those sites set things up in such a way as to appeal to their target demographic.
It's purely a business matter. And not a matter of pure ideology.
It may take years to fizzle with this new attitude of "I don't care or give a damn" and "me, me, me is really all that matters and as long as I am here, what do I care who leaves or who comes."
Once again -- THERE IS NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING "FIZZLING".
Other than in the wishful thinking of some.
As for "all that matters is me".......I don't really follow where that one is coming from. I confess that it's somewhat of a mystery.
The only individuals that I see jumping up and down and yelling "ME! ME! ME!" are those persons that show a desire for nothing but their own way.
And not those of us who believe in following the House rules......of whoever's house we happen to visit.
It's the difference between an adult disagreement and a childish tantrum.
The child is the one that screams when he/she doesn't get their own way.........or (in some cases) adult children are known to do a lot of screaming, too.
