Quote - Nope - Im not going to try to change you or your answers Connie. It makes absolutely NO sense to me whatsoever why you are willing to invest so much time in energy in seeking out the negatives rather than the positives, but hey keep on keepin on if its workin for you.
I think this part needs addressing too.
Now, harping on freebies is a sore spot with me especially since I used to get 'hate mail' of sorts for not allowing my freebies to be used commercially without asking for specific permission. Listed as non commercial only, and the readme says "Commercial licenses granted on case by case basis, please contact me'. That was mean and not nice of me to give a conditional gift and how I should be ashamed of myself, and how reading the readmes was too much to ask, and how I was mean to begrudge people possibly winning a $20 gift certificate for enterin a render in a contest (cause that too may be construed as commercial usage)' was the gist of several site mails I got. After a few site mails like that I finally asked rendo admins if that kind of site mail was acceptable, and asked them to contact the person(s) sending that that is not acceptable use of site mail. I haven't seen anyone else speak up about it, but if it had happened to me, I imahine I'm not the only one.
So, as I said earlier in one of my posts, agressive criticizing of freebies may hit a lot of people's raw nerve around here (me including). You're complaining I haven't read and taken into the account everyting you said, well, apparently, neither have you. Your assesment that I seek the negative, as if it's some sort of a bad and purposeful activity is wrong.
I don't seek it out, when it's a sore subject, things resonate with the past negative crap and it's hard to bypass it. (Much like it's hard for me to bypass kitty pictures on the positive side) You know, like after you get hit a few times in a certain situation, you come to expect to getting hit again in the same situation. On one hand you want me to take in the account other peoples feelings, but you discount mine. It doesn't work that way.
Notice that I'm not advocating that everyone should be nicey nice all the time. All I'm saying is that if someone comes towards me screaming, cussing and arms flailing, they're goiong to get punched or subdued before I ask what's the matter. And depending on my mood and circumstances, I may not ask what's the matter.
