Does this make sense?
Andygal:
the problem with netettiquite is that it only takes one jerk that doesn't follow the equitte for things to break down.
It's hard to make "rules" when you can't make people stick to them. As much as I'd like to see Rentech forced to end her silly little games it's not going to happen.

At the risk of posting what is no doubt an unpopular option, here's something we might try:
Mind our Own Business.
As someone who's been aquainted with both Rentech and Pescado since before the days when #grah was first created on MTS2, before we moved to #eviltone, before the creation of variousimmers - This seems to be the best course of action. This entire "war" that is being perpetuated in public on both sides by "supporters" of Rentech and Pescado, and no doubt in private by themselves, is simply none of my business. This thread itself is full of he-said-she-saids - some of which I know to be true, some of which I know to be not true, either because I was *in a chat room where they happened*, or *in a forum where they happened*. But a great deal more seems to be speculation or based on PMs, and I will *NOT* take sides on this type of thing.
If you don't like variousimmers any more, simply don't go. You account will be deleted automatically after a period of inactivity. Messaging Rentech isn't going to accomplish anything in this context. If things were aimiable around here, she probably would, but with threads like this, how can such a message seem like anything other than a combat move?
If you want to complain about how "immature" variousimmers is - and I'm not denying that it can be the case - you can start by *not talking about it constantly and harrasing its webmistress with PMs* - but rather taking the high road yourself - just walk away.

I think Melissa would agree, Michael. ;)

...That notice came about because rentech was upset that Witch posted here about the stupid survey and the PS2 demo CDs she had gotten from Maxis.
Oh. I posted on a thread that was already talking about the survey & the prizes. I merely added the comment that Maxis had had nothing to do with the survey, that it was Rentech's idea solely. I had read that Maxis had been firm that the demo disks were not just to be shared amongst staff, so I said that, yes. Hardly earth shattering stuff, quite commonsensical really. Oh God, I confess, I just wanted to clear Maxis' good name.
I did not however talk about the admin threads where bile spewing was common. I have not and will not report stuff that is personal or private or, quite frankly, revolting.
I have never been involved with a forum before where I did not have the choice to delete my own account. I think this is all quite tragic. In many senses of the word.

pescado's links on this site ...it was done at Pescado's request because he sad all the people that used his site were "too brainless" and "kept gving out links that skipped hs 'joke' page"...
Did anyone else notice the pitiful attempt to get posters here pissed off with JM for calling us brainless? Ha! He calls us far worse names on a daily basis.
I'm starting to get irritated with all this BS now.
PS Who the hell's Melissa? Pretty as she is and all.
