You're looking at this from an emotional point of view Liz. Tim isn't trying to punish you for not behaving properly. Tim isn't punishing you for having a store of your own. He's just trying keep the competition at a reasonable distance, while still cooperating with them as much as possible. He should have done that a Looooong time ago. Nobody gives direct competition an all access pass to their secret places where they talk about their inner workings. But you had one for several months now. That's stupid and dangerous from a business point of view. When you started your own site and store. You gave up the right to have a say in how Renderosity does things. Even if you sell things there yourself. I personally would have made a point in discussing that with you the minute you opened up shop. I would not continue to sell your products unless we talked about certain rules first. And make sure we agreed upon them. That leads us to the real problem: The folks who own this place are nice folks. But don't know enough about business to think ahead. Anticipate the potential problems. And take action BEFORE problems begin. They stumble along. And make mistakes. So we end up in these emotion fests where everyone gets crazy. Because business wasn't handled properly in the first place. Then they try to fix it later. When It's too late. And we have running and screaming. I got tired of explaining how to run a business to them. They weren't listening to me. And I was getting pissed at them myself. So rather than lose thier friendships. I quit before I got to the point where they were no longer my friends anymore. I am friends with the Admins. here. But I will not work with them because of that. Bad business. Sure I'll go along with that. Personal vendetta....No way. I don't buy that one. ScottA
