Quote - ...what one is embraced as savior becomes Satan in the end, as more and more cry for evil to conquer evil on the act of concious conclusions, where those say that those ideas are baseless and absurd, stare long and hard, now if the role was reversed, and you be the ones griping, this and that, then maybe you would see your advasary qualities straight on....
We interrupt this existential journey for a commercial break, sponsored by Dramamine(tm)...
Okay, I get the whole idea that all the corporate players are evil. To that, a simple answer can suffice: "we knew that." :)
Quote - As for the whole forum issues, I have had posts removed for putting up a price in a commercial sale, while one of the diehards, did the same thing and it remained up without any removal, but then again that has no base since I am on the bottom of the food chain, so to say.
Oh, I wouldn't say that the old-timers get any breaks. I can put up a post that gets deleted in this joint so quickly, that you could almost hear server hard drive platters head-crashing from the shock wave. OTOH, it is part and parcel of how they do things here, and even the PTB here at Renderosity will admit to as much (sometimes if pressed). 'tis not rumor, and anyone who posts here with any regularity knows it.
'course, that's not really the issue at hand. Now the whole business of spies, mass-bannings, and the like? That makes for juicy reading, and even juicier rumors.
Quote - But then again I must ask, you ask where the base is from... how can it be proven if it is hidden from sight, LIKE deleted from forums...
Ah, but this is the Internet! This is where technology is just as much friend as enemy. Screenshots, collateral evidence (emails, sitemails, posts on other sites, etc), archive.org and Google Caches (if it hangs around enough)... it's not that hard or technically challenging to do, yanno?
So - we now return you to your regularly scheduled existential forays...
