Quote - I leave angered and resentfrul at merchants like ernyoka, members like Acadia, and store people like JenyK

Ummm? Thanks for singling me out there Anton!  In case you hadn't noticed I've been one of your supporters ever since I came to this community. I even over looked the slam you and Machine made against me not so long ago.  Perhaps you've also forgotten how many times I've sent you PM's offering you my support and encouragment and telling you to ignore the trolls on the boards who were trying to get under your skin, the very latest of which was the day before yesterday.

Quote - To railroad and troll and to ignore it and pretend it isn't happening is despicable. So the combined Poser stores, witho their secrets and intigues have managed to squeeze me out. COngratulations but at least they had to band together, if even in secret and over years to do it.

I know this might be hard for you to see and accept, but the only person responsible for squeezing you out of the main stores, is you.  I only know you from our few talks in PM and from how I see you conduct yourself on the boards.  I like you Anton, and I respect you as a person and deeply admire your talent.  However, I spend enough time on these boards and others to know that you aren't  exactly the easiest person to deal with when it comes to business.

My post above was not a slam against you. It was an observation and restatement of facts that are widely known.  You haven't exactly been secretive about what's been going on with your store ventures or misadventures; quite vocal really.  There has been an "incident" with every store you have been associated with that has resulted in you leaving, and slamming the door behind you in the process.

You have amazing talent in your craft. Absolutely amazing. I was so surprised to find that so many of the items that I see around the poser community, and that I have in my own library were created by you.  However, modelling talent aside, you lack in the ability to market your wares without offending for some reason. 

EF gave you an amazing opportunity to get Apollo out there and into so many hands, but instead of trying to work through the initial bumps, you break your agreement with them and leave after a few weeks. Now Apollo is homeless, retired and seemingly so are you.

Despite your misdirected hatred and animosity I still call you "friend". > Quote - To the mentally ill that now run our forums, well you wou;dn't understand anyway.

I thought you of all people who hated being slammed or picked on, would know better than to say something like that.  Some people here have been your friend and alia and you repay them by calling them mentally ill?  Nice :(

Quote - PS: DOn't bother sending me IM's and email now with silent support.

I wouldn't dream of it.  I had offered you my shoulder and my support and encouragment many times over the months. It seems to me that you are the one being dishonst here. I now find out that you consider me your enemy?

Quote - I am sorry but the anger I have over such lack of honesty is not capable of ebing expressed.

I have been nothing but honest. It's you who have been otherwise.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
