Re: You Gotta Be Farkin Kidding Me (Visine .. It Gets The Red Out)
Inworldz Resident (ex mentor): "xxxxx I responded to your blog post directly so I won't repeat it here unless I feel it's necessary or if you wish to quote it please feel free. All I will say is no doubts about it. I believe you hit this nail FLAT on it's HEAD and no doubts rosa will feel the exact same way. Congratulations on calling it as we see it! I have found truth in your words written here and on your blog!
For those that are interested and do wish to see all I had to say personally you can find my full response here: http://fanciful-muse.livejournal.com/21 424.html"
Yes, I'll admit it. I said this. Why hide my name? In case anyone wants to know, it's Gaius Caesar on the IW forums, it's GaiusJulius CaesarAugustus within IW itself. I'm willing to take full responsibility for anything I say. I'm not going to take back the words typed. I'm not that cowardly. I spoke on that as well as anyone that reads the forums knows.
What this all boils down to. And this is the truth no matter how you slice it. There was and is ONE "big name". Yes, only ONE that stands out in the crowd of many in IW from SL that thinks what was said was a direct attack against them.
It was once that brought it upon themselves. Just yesterday I and rosa went to that Region. We we're asked, "Why we were there." To which the reply was, "To see the wall of hate". Referring to this blog:
http://razorblade-cookies.blogspot.c om/2010/07/these-padded-walls-and-tv-scr eens.html
In direct reference to this particular quote, "We DO not offer an extended license as we have a presence in Inworldz. We promise we won't ask for a free copy of your builds for Inworldz if you don't ask for a free license to use our textures. A Boycott Wall of Shame for violators will be at Builders Paradise in Inworldz."
Naturally we were curious. We wanted to see if it actually existed. As this is the very person that took everything said personally. I suppose however if the truth of something fits you then it must be why it hurts and makes you scream.
Then in that very same blog it quotes this same creator from SL and IW where they say, "We do not need cheap gimmicks. Gimmicky devaluing sales ploys only accomplish training our customers to only buy our things when they are marked down to a ridiculously low price." When in fact that's contradicting EXACTLY what they're doing in IW!
They're using cheap tactics now after feeling guilty for what was said and taking it far to personally. If they honestly felt their prices were justified why stoop to doing this? Why allow what anyone including myself sway your way of thinking? What I and others say is just our opinion and feeling. It in no way says, "you don't belong here."
On the contrary. You came to IW for whatever your reasons were. If you came on request of those that loved you in SL great! We applaud you for taking that plunge and wanting to make people happy! Why then change now just because you make some seemingly upset? There's no real rhyme or reason. Other then feeling pegged perhaps?
Everyone that comes to IW comes for their own reasons. No one can actually force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. I and rosa did offer the above quoted individual and her partner help and advice upon their arrival to IW. At the request of one of the Founders. What it amounted to was, "That's a lot of work. It will take so much time." Which we agreed though it's worth it in the end to do things the way they work.
It was more about how to and what doesn't yet work as well as it should. Not so much about pricing then which is up to the creator. I get pricing your things according to the US value of the currency. Don't get me at all wrong there. If that's what you like to do great! Do it and feel justified in doing it. You came to IW after all at the request of others that purchased from you in another grid.
Doing what you say you don't need to do because I and others may disagree with your, "attitude" however shows more about your true character then anything else. Then to state in your SL profile, "If someone would like to know about how I feel about something or what my opinion may be, then man or woman up and ask. This he said she said shit is just that .. shit. Cloak and dagger copy and paste shouldn't be necessary in an adult community." Yet you post on the forums then delete WHOLE posts of nasty remarks you say to others hoping we'll all just forget? At least when I post something ANYWHERE I have the balls to not do delete it! I'll stand behind what I say. Perhaps even read something that makes me think a little and admit I made a mistake or changed my mind!
I'll stop now as that's enough out of me. I have opinions on almost every subject. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Hell I don't expect that some will agree with me ever. That's their right. Though it's also everyone's right to charge what they want for what they create. Though why say one thing then do what you speak you shouldn't? That makes no sense at all.
