Attached Link: Another resource gone.

One of the very rare rants that I post. I don't tend to do it often. Ko... if you're wondering what sparked the rant here: Take a minute to follow the link, and THEN read through the sample emails in this post. Actual emails sent to various freestuff providers that were sent to me that I've collected... A **small** sampling. I'd really hate to think that this kind of crap is representative of this "Comunity", but unfortunately, the number of mails people get blasting them for taking the time, effort, expense and trouble to give stuff away recieve tends to give that the lie. It makes be ashamed to be a vendor, because it lumps me with people like this by association. Pretty sad... if this is the spirit of community we have, then this "community" probably should die, along with the associated stores that feed it. Qoutes around community intentional. Any scarcasm dripping from the word also intended. ******************************************************************************************************************* Emails in italics, my commentary normal type. *"Hi, just thought I'd write to you about your [free] releases at Daz. I think they're a fucking joke. What the hell do you think you're going to achieve with this sort of bullshit? If you want to drive away vendors and hurt the marketplace then your doing a fucking good job. You might think it's all a joke but some of us have to make a living from selling poser goods, and this bullshit you've pulled with those packs hurts those of who rely on our income from Poser sales. Next time you decide to fuck with people's lives why don't you just buy a real gun and kill someone. It's fucking morons like you that give Poser a bad name. Sent by "anonymous".* If the marketplace is too fragile to survive freestuff, maybe it should get hurt. And if someone's too chickenshit to sign an email, why should anyone take them or their opinions seriously? *"Hello I thought I'd write to you to say thanks for taking the food from the mouths of my children with your selfish attitudes. So you think it's clever to give away stuff free that others have to work for days at just to earn enough to meet bills. Well it's fucking cunts like you that causes poverty and starvation. I hope you're proud of that. I have to beg money from my relatives just to live because I can't make enough sales and all because of bastards like you who think it's fucking funny. I hope you die of cancer or something. People like you should be exterminated for the scum you are. CuntKiller* Oh, now that's an origional nick. Ever think that maybe if you make something worth buying it might get sales? *"Hey ------- . Hows about you fuck right off out of the community. We don't need you or your free shit. The Renderosity store is there to give people the stuff they need for Poser not cunts who try to kill vendors by giving shit away. Anonymous "* Anonymous gets around a lot. The Renderosity store is there to give people the stuff they need for Poser, eh? Gee... color me a cynic - I thought it was there to earn money for Renderosity. Fucking bite me. *"Heya -----, just took a look through your catalogue. Some interesting stuff there. You do realise the damage your doing to vendors in the online stores by offering stuff like this free don't you? No, well maybe you should think about it. Some of us are trying to make a living doing this. We NEED the sales of our goods to pay bills and we work long hours to make things. Not all of us have the skills to churn stuff out like you do. So back off or fuck off and give those of us trying to live a break. Not all of us are rich fucks that we can just give stuff away. SickOfFreeStuff "* And FreeStuff is probably sick of you. If you're not earning a living at it, you might want to consider another line of work, instead of blaming freebie providers. ******************************************************************************************************************* I'll guarantee that if there'd been usernicks or names attached to the mails, instead of a large number of small people hiding behind anonymous and hotmail accounts, there'd be a who's who in this post. Gee, but that'd be embarrassing to the people who sent them? Too fucking bad. If you happen to read in these something you sent, and you're pissed off by that, then that's too fucking bad also. The really sad thing is that the type of chumpchange assholes who'd send mails like this'll probably respond to sending more nastygrams to freestuff providers, rather than having the balls to flame me here in the open using their renderosity nick. Don't blame the freebie providers - you want a target, here I am. Man. Have a nice life people. Anyone who wonders why merchants have a bad association around the community with a lot of people, guess what - you and I are getting splashed and painted with the same brush that's associated with people like this.

"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
