Does this make sense?

...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 know that (and I hope you know that I'm kidding when joking about everything being your fault), and I hope that Rentech does as well. But she took offense that someone 'spilled the beans' about the demo disks and posted the notice to all the forum owners about NOT discussing anything that is talked about in the admin forums. Then she turned around and did the same thing with something I had said. That is what pissed me off. I was just using what you had said to illustrate a point, not to say you did anything wrong. I don't think what you said about the stupid survey amounted to a hill of beans.

can somebody try to send me a pm on VS? My sent items have disappeared (no I did not delete them) and I'm curious to see if I can still read them (I remember Inge having trouble viewing PMs after being 'accidentally' banned - sorry, put on read-only - sorry, disabled).
The following users were not found:
vecsta
I tried and the above was the very quick terse response
Sorry I forgot to mention that my username there is vecki - never changed it like I did here.
I sent you a PM let me know if you got it at VS
Got it, thanks. I've replied but won't be logging back in there - why bother?
Oh but I can't even change a single thing about my profile on there, not even my password, never mind changing my avatar or sig to something nasty enough for deletion.

ok just wanted to know if you got. hmmm I wonder if I take an in game shot of one of my males naked ie the genital area since my sims are all anatomically correct with out the blur if that would get me deleted if I used it as an avatar
Brynne:
It would probably be deleted even if they weren't anatomically correct. And still had the blur!

Thanks 2Jeffs. I've decided not to go back there at all now, I suspect there is something genuinely wrong with Rentech, as Cabelle says somewhere, there are games being played and not very healthy ones at that. The less attention the behaviour gets the better.
To anyone, not just 2Jeffs:
I first thought there was something odd going on when a poster at VS asked about the identical baby syndrome. Rentech replied with a really weird reply - about parent genetics causing it I think - and that it was part of the game and to be expected. I know Rentech was around when Pescado explained the problem and created the random sim generator, yet when I posted a reply to that effect, (I didn't even mention Pescado) I just suggested the poster go into CAS and create a random number of sims before the baby was born, yet it was as if Rentech had never heard of the concept before, totally ignored my response and carried on talking as if her personal theory on identical babies was fact.
It just seemed totally off-beam to me, like when you talk to someone and become aware that they are discussing something different. The discourse is actually very manic, including the arrogant 'know-all' attitude and the speed at which it appears to be typed - demonstrated by the increasing error rate. (Edit: And the sheer dense impenetrable volume of the text).
This will hopefully be my last post about VS, I just want to state again that I have a concern about the woman's state of mind, I hope for her sake she is not having a meldown this public. I understand the staff at VS just want this to die down and go away but as other posters have mentioned it's damn hard not to notice the elephant in the middle of the room. I'm just relieved that posters on this site are mostly confining themselves to pointing and laughing.
