These issues haven't stopped me from buying what I like wherever it may be, except P5 and that's due to the EULA and my being a merchant and no other reason. I buy from Daz, rosity, rdna, looking at a couple items at poserpros, etc. I'm a big poser and 3d app spender. I'll pick sides, if I feel it serves a good purpose. Haven't seen a purpose in it yet and so haven't. I'll defend anyone or any company I think is being unjustifiably picked on. (Now, if they deserve what is said about them, my hands are tied. Can't help there.) What started out as legitimate concerns in many places seems to have turned into a gossip ring. I've found myself caught up in it, joining in the speculations and such. Need to better myself there. It can be very exciting and tempting though. It's good to post concerns in order to get more information, but perhaps we all need to think about the repercushions of what we say before we say it and make sure what we are saying has good grounding. Good tip is, if you don't know a point you'd like to make for a fact, state it as a question you'd like clarified. That way, the issue is brought up, your point is made, and you haven't risked misrepresenting anyone.
