Indeed, who said that? Not me. Don’t put words in my mouth, I did not put any in yours. There are plenty of posts in this thread that have been judgmental, quite apart from buying or not buying anything. Can you find a few? You may feel judged by me, but that is your interpretation. I did not single you or anyone else out.
"I think it's pretty morrally arrogant of you to judge people who need their toast for not buying a package that doesn't provide it."
You make it sound as if the only texture that you need is the one for the genitals. I also made it clear that I don’t judge people who render nude figures. I would think it fairly ridiculous to render a nude with no genitals. I want you to be able to have textures that fulfill all of your needs. But, there are plenty of "toast" textures available that will do that, and I dare say you have some of them. If I am arrogant (or petty for that matter) I am in good and plenteous company here.
I have always liked you, LostinSpaceman. I am determined to continue to do so. I have to admit, Mel Gibs is over the top, and I don’t enjoy him any more, or a lot of other actors.

Well I've gone back and re-read your post several times to figure out just what it was about your post that made me respond the way I did. Basically, you did put words in my mouth and the mouths of everyone else in the thread who has posted their views about 3DU's judgemental statements as to why they don't provide toast. Where did you do this you ask? Here's the quote:
Quote - Most of you would laugh at me if I passed up a good product because some of the products in a store made me uncomfortable. What would you advise me to do? Grow up.
You basically assumed we would all laugh and tell you to grow up for not buying a useful product that made you uncomfortable. In the process of putting the words "Grow Up" into all of our mouths, it looked very much as if you were telling all of us to "Grow Up" as well.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want you or anyone else to "Not Like Me", but when I'm painted to be somehow silly for not buying a product that I don't find complete or useful to me AND is made by people who go about making objectionable statements about what I may or may not be doing with nude Poser figures, I'm not so certain I should care if you like me.
That being said, I'm not calling for you or anyone else to boycott the makers of 3DU. I wouldn't presume to tell anyone else how to spend their money.
