HUZZAH! Banned from Rentech.com!
ZephyrZodiac:
I got the PM too, and I've been off-line for hours and hours!
Who is this Detective moron! If he/she/it wants to inform us of something, surely the open forum is enough!

Flashback: one week ago: Well, what do you know...I leave on vacations and the best modder for TS2 goes AWOL! At least so I thought. So after a brief search I find out that he's set up his own shop...and it's a pay site?!?! No wait, something's fishy here! I don't quite know what, but something is just out of the picture...anyway, I'm at a netcafe and time's running out so no further investigation is possible...
Today: here I am again, at a netcafe. The JM issue must be clarified. But wait a minute...where's the link that was available a week ago? Gone?! Damn! Anyway, off to MTS2. There, one of his mods. "Click", "register". Fair enough, I do that. No pay site after all! My intuition didn't fail me then. But wait...he's been BANNED from the previous site?! A quick glance at the posts, and the conlusion is solid: their loss. Not only did they lose the best modder available, they've lost all my respect as well.
The moral of the story: I don't give a rat's fuck what kind of person JM is (finally, free speech!). I DO know that he's the best damn modder for TS2, and I'll follow him wherever he goes! Period!
I also get the feeling that when this whole vacation charade is over (sure enough, the beaches and sea of Greece are wonderful, but I HATE THE SEA!), I'll extensively use the forum too. You'll see more of me in the future, that's for certain.

Beats me. I don't think he's actually a representative of rentech.com, however. He's too stupid. They can't possibly have fallen that low that fast.
I have no idea who he is but he sent me the PM. I read it and gave it all the respect it deserved... I deleted it. As to this person I'd like to say:
GET A LIFE ALREADY!

Greece is so very lovely too (as long as I don't have to participate in the olive harvest :D). I seem to have a mediteranian tilt, Italy, Greece etc. I'm trying to build the Parthenon; thanks to Inge at Simlogical I can now use columns with reckless abandon. Too bad the only statue in the game is Venus... as if the ancient world didn't have more strong and powerful goddesses to choose from.
(I will now return this briefly hijacked thread to its regular scheduled program)

Well, one thing is that those who need JM can not find him from Various' site anymore, they would have to go to MTS2 for that. I just went through the site and found that all the posts he made have been deleted. It's actually quite comical sometimes, people seem to answer themselves or respond to something that is not there. Even the individual posts that had a link to this site have been altered in some way or other.
Interpersonal difficulties should not be carried this far as to deny those in need of help access to it. It is the hypocrisy of this that is very annoying. To proclaim that a site has been set up solely for helping fellow simmers, but providing forums as well is one thing, to deny information or direct access to the most talented modder in the community is quite another.
If you want to implement rules, be consistent. The avatar in question did not bother me in the least, but they have at least one member there who delights in calling people "crackhead", makes constant references to 'crack' and has in his/her signature under location the following: "Where do you think, CrackHead?"
I find this far more bothering than everything else I have come across since the break-up.
Censorship and hypocracy are the two things I deplore the most. Having been involved in the former discussion about the issue (and receiving a very defensive non-answer), and witnessing the latter now in more than one way is rather disturbing.

Strange, the links were there the last time I checked but I rarely go to MTS2 daily.
All I can say is that there must be some exceptionally immature people out in the simming community. As for my own experience, I have noticed that there are a few on MTS2 forums that are quite disturbed and have a knack for not taking any responsibility for what they say. Worrying...
Censorship has its place, but hypocrisy does not. I have a personal issue with the mods that are available for guns, as I am, and I'm proud to admit it, fully in favour of having every weapon destroyed. (Yes, I'm a bleeding heart, tree-hugging hippy.) This worries me as it takes the game one step too far in my opinion. Cartoon violence is ok (Tom & Jerry anyone?) but bringing reality into something that's essentially marketed for kids? Kinda makes my skin crawl...
As for the "disturbing" avatar...I've seen far worse than a gay couple snogging. (Having been round the blocks more than once - a fairly slow stroll - and (jokingly) known as a "fag-hag".) Sexuality merely is. And, provided everyone is enjoying it and there is no coercion then I fail to see what the problem is. Both of my children have gay men as role models and it hasn't done them any harm, and it has done no harm to those young people adopted by gay couples of either gender.
My, how, I have gone on. Please be aware that these comments are the opinion only of the writer and bear no relevance to anyone else.
