@3D-Mobster
The trouble with some of the changes to the TOS is in their interpretive basis. Your last post in my own interpretation actually violates the TOS in a number of ways.
For example it is mainly directed at myself in a rather personalised fashion. It adds a number of barbs and negative terms including insinuations like "simply ridiculous" and "childish" and seems to primarily be focused on drawing me into some kind of argument. This is generally regarded as trolling in most circles.
My participation in this thread has been positive, brief and non disruptive. You have stated quite broadly that you have some issue with my statements and responded in a negative fashion with what could also be regarded as a number of personal attacks in your post. This would seem also to constitute Disturbing the Peace "we will not accept any members interrupting the community with any negative comments." I was going about my business and in no way breaching the TOS. Yet you felt the need to negatively attack me and attempt to draw me into some kind of circular argument that seems to mainly be focused on you summarily dismissing others concerns as irrelevant or as you put it "because they so obviously hold no truth to them?". And in turn becoming frustrated that some will not enter into an argument with yourself regarding your PoV.
If you want to continue discussing the issue feel free to do so, but I would appreciate if you left the insinuated insults out of it and respected my right to participate in the forums as I see fit within the terms of the TOS.
If you do feel the need to further divulge maybe you would care to explain why your last post isn't displaying a blatant disregard for the TOS? I know you were attacking me constructively right? In my own experience simply being involved in a heated discussion can be enough to be found on the wrong side of the TOS and it is my intention to avoid similar arguments as much as I humanly possibly can.
Re: Linking If you cannot see the issue with a community that produces content that relies on 3rd party content to function, but then prevents linking to that same 3rd party content in discussion, then that is your prerogative. As is mine to decline from entering into an argument or discussion regarding the matter.
