Acadia said:"However, what does patting Blackhearted on the head and saying "Poor you!" over and over again, or continuously bashing the offender accomplish? Nothing.: Well, first of all, Blackhearted has the softest hair. It must be the condittioner he uses or perhaps he has a stylist. Whatever the reason, patting his head is an aesthetic treat. You really should try it. Continuously bashing the offender. Well, thats just the really fun part. smile It makes me smile. Thats what it accomplishes. Are you sure we can't hang 'em? ---------------------------------------- Acadia also asked:"Let me ask you all something. According to Blackhearted, Renderosity and a number of other people, this person "stole" and committed fraud. Why aren't official legal proceedings being taken against him to recover damages?" Isn't Umatov an Aussie? Maybe a thousand or even two thousand dollars was puschased (I am just estimating). Going after him would mean trying the matter in Australian court as a foreign plaintiff. Maybe the fact that it would cost more to go after him than it is worth? Maybe outing him or "bashing" him, as you say, is all that can be sought for right now considering finances. Acadia. He has it coming. What are YOU accomplishing by telling us to stop dragging it out when every response you give only drags it out more? This guys gets what he deserves. Sorry you don't feel that way, but as a consumer, I feel quite happy to this guy hung from the yard arm. We can't say ENOUGH bad things about him. And frankly, I am HAPPY to see the community gather together in arms against him. If anything, it has bettered the community. They now stand united against all that would try this again. It may act as a deterrent, it may not. But it is heartening to see all these people stand as one against a criminal. I'm happy to be a part of a community that won't stand for such a thing. You can call it "bashing" if you want. To me, its just good healthy outrage. Blackhearted, in my opinion, has acted like a saint. He has been helpful and informative. Umatov is a thief. Why waste ANY sympathy on him.
