Oh, an added thought. Most traditional Rom women aren't very respectable anyway. And this is coming from someone who has Rom blood. Thanks. :)
Thread: Seeking two things: hand texture and a gypsy character | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
Oh brother. I have Romani blood and I'm not flipping out over this. For real, just take a pill and relax a bit, man. A cultural slur, perhaps. Racial slur, I don't buy it. And it's nothing like the slur used against black Americans. For the record, no, it's not really 'traditional' wear. But then again, what -is- traditional anymore? Regardless, it was really a petty thing to freak out about. In my honest opinion, and I mean no disrespect anywhere or to anyone, but the problems should have been private in the first place. It was wrong to have stated displeasure in the open, and it was wrong to have responded in the manner that happened. And also, uhh. Most 'traditional' Romani women are stuck in ways that are slowly dying. Not only do I have Rom blood, but for several years I lived next to a Rom family who made enough money to buy a home. They'd often ask me to come over and read things to them. However, after a few months, they sold the home and moved on. Some tradtions never die, and some fade away as the years go by. Somehow, I lost my train of thought. But yeah, whatever. I'm Rom blood, but I stand in defense of Anton, because this wouldn't have happened if some offensive, while unintentional, remarks hadn't been made.

In response to your post, atthisstage: And I don't care to be persuasive. I'm not trying to sway an audience. But don't you think that they covered all their bases? Just say for a moment that Rosity -has- been contacted by law abiding officials. Being that Renderosity is a privately owned company, all of that would be handled privately. And then, even when it was over, they don't owe anyone anything regarding what happened. It's between them and those that contacted them. If they have their facts straight, which they may or may not have, because I don't know, then who's to say that it hasn't already been handled, and they just haven't chosen to respond to any of this. It's perfectly plausible to me. Regardless, I'm not defending Renderosity. I'm defending my personal opinion on the matter as it stands. And judging by the lack of response from admins to the continued threads, it's a very possible end to it. Sure, it sucks that no one will know. But no matter how many times anyone says it is our concern, it's not. Not unless the site gets shut down. And I'm not doubting you, but I'd like for these laws and rules to be pointed out from an actual source. One that might be available to me so I can give them a glance. It'd be much appreciated.

No. Post 62 shows my opinion on the whole where I'm not singling anyone out. ;) I think you're reading more into what's actually there. Nor did I say my voice was any bigger. Squeak squeak. And I still won't single anyone out. That's the big difference. :) Have a lovely evening. Spec

I realize this might be steering away from the original point of this thread.. whatever that point might be, because I certainly can't see it, personally. But I have a question. Take it at face value. First off, let me lay this on the line: I have not flamed anyone. Nor have I singled anyone out. I have not been sitting here, bitching and moaning about how things should have been, and what happened. I'm stating my opinion in this public forum, just like everyone is entitled to. It's my digital voice, as it is all of yours. And I deserve that much. To have my opinions as I see fit to post them. In a way that hopefully offends no one. Because my original intent is not to offend anyone. If, however, I do, then I apologize. That is my responsibility and my right to do so, because this is a community that I'm a member of, even if I'm not so outspoken or well known. However, I ask this two-part question. Is it because I'm going against the grain that as of yet, the responses I've gotten have been trite or sarcastic - That because I don't agree with the majority that's posting to this thread that I must be singled out in some small form or fashion and be treated with less respect than I've given? Or is it because I -am- fairly unknown. I rarely speak up. I do an image every so often because I enjoy putting up the works my wife and I do. If I were one of the more renowned artists of this site, would anything I say be responded to with as much sarcasm, and given as big a lack of respect? It's a shame, because I think if my name were bigger here, and I posted the same things, I wouldn't be treated with the same lack of respect. Respect that I have only tried to give the rest. So keep on with your bitching and moaning about the injustice. And keep on making your trite and sarcastic remarks. They don't bite any deeper than anything else that's said. I've heard far, far worse. And I hope they make you feel better. I honestly do. Have a lovely evening. :) Spec

I didn't say it wasn't at one point everyone's business. Believe it or not, I was a little miffed when they pulled the vote as well. I am saying that everyone who is -still- upset is making it everyone elses business continuously. In thread after thread after thread. Honestly, do you think you're making it right by beating said dead horse? It might make you feel a bit better about it afterwards, but come on. Have you changed the voting results? Has this continued, repetative thread changed anything? I think the only thing it's changed is the supposed unity of the community, which is a damn shame. Regardless what you may think of me or my comments, I'm a member here too. And I have to support what Regina and Blackhearted said. In a lot of words, or just a few. Get over it. It's over and done with.

All you're doing is acting like children. You won't change the results. You won't change the way it was done. You won't change the way the site is run. In the grand scheme of things, you're making a big deal out of nothing. I'm sorry, but this is how I see it: The poll was on the front page. It was up for what? Three days? They pulled it. Oops, mistake. Wasn't supposed to be there. Okay fine. I can deal with that. Some of you couldn't. Then there was an apology. Sorry it wasn't supposed to be there. Okay. I can deal with that. Some of you couldn't. You want to know what the prizes were. They're not telling you. I can deal with that. It's not my business. It's between the winner and the admins. Some of you can't accept that. But you don't seem to realize that all your voices are amounting to a little squeak. 'Squeak'. You're a few people in a large community. And to be honest, I'm sure the admins have far more important things to deal with than your cries of controversy and vote fixing and so on, and so on. It sucks, right? It's this great big terrible thing that they did, and scorned you greatly. Burned your little minds with a great injustice that you must see righted. You're not righting anything by continuing this. In all honesty, why don't a few calm people with concerns use that handy function called email, and correspond with some of the admins? It'll keep this all from escalating into the next world war, and might yield some better results than "WHY WON'T YOU RESPOND TO ME???" Spec

Considering the final vote took place privately, among the admins, don't you think it makes sense that the prizes were also mentioned privately? To those in the running, or the winner. I don't know anything that states that a prize in a private contest has to be mentioned to the public at large. Spec
Thread: Dear tammymc 2 | Forum: Community Center
Why does it matter what the prizes were? In all honesty, everyone's been saying it's all null and void, which to each their own. But if it's null and void, why do the prizes have any bearing whatsoever? Spec

Thread: Did the mothership come... | Forum: Community Center
I'm not a very established member of this community, and when I do post something it's hardly on the level of most artists here. But I just want to make one comment, and take this as it's meant, as politely as possible. Mosca and the others who are so bent on getting an answer from the admins about the AOY: Just hush, and enjoy the holiday. It won't kill you to take a breather and relax, and let your blood pressure drop again. Let the admins enjoy their holiday as well. That's my two cents. Flame me all you want about it, if you must. But really, I think you're overreacting.

Thread: Just a story I felt like posting. | Forum: Writers
Actually, this is all really helpful. Though, I'm not trying to find any markets for my writing. And as your comments can tell, I do tend to wander sometimes, so, I can accept that to some degree. I just have to have help to know when I'm doing it. Thanks guys! Spec
Thread: Put on your thinking caps for future prizes | Forum: Writers
I couldn't run poser if I tried. So poser prize = bad for my computer. ;) A gift certificate to someplace that everyone can access, though, sounds pretty good to me, but that all depends on the prize giver's budget, doesn't it? Where in the poser contests, people pretty much donate prizes from the MP. So it all depends on what -can- be given and what is available. Spec
Thread: Post-Writing Game? | Forum: Writers
All that I want, is for your imagination to run wild. And just have fun with it. Split storylines don't bother me any. Just run with it and have a blast. (Sorry about the delay in response, cable modem was down a couple days.) And yes, using what was previously posted would work well. At least the last two paragraphs, so that if things do split off, people can keep up. And yes, I -am- a guy. ;)
