In fact, my post was to point out that claiming to speak for the "vast majority" is a mistake in logic at its base. It's a good thing I wasn't claiming to speak for the majority. I was just stating what should be obvious. like all such assumptions: it carries with it a built-in danger of being wrong. The vast majority of Renderosity's users perfer to breathe another breath. Of course, I could be wrong. It's just that some things like preferring to breathe and people liking gifts are fairly safe assumptions. Sounds like standard business practice to me; albeit worded in such a way as to imply that standard business practice is a negative thing. No. It's just an honest assessment, though might seem negative to those accustomed to hearing status quo tongue baths. The crux of my point was that pleasing the vast majority isn't the top priority here and that not all participants here are equal. I'm not complaining. Like so many other places and things, this isn't a democracy so we might as well stop pretending that our chat board opinions count equally along with those who might walk away, taking 50% of their potential profits elsewhere. BTW - there still appears to be the underlying assumption being made here that "the vendors" represent some sort of a monolith The only vendors I'm referring to are those who agitated for the change in forum rules. Of course, maybe none of them wanted the change. Maybe the law of gravity will be repealed next week as well.
