I have one HUGE question... Why is bestiality on her spelling bee list?
*shrugs* I wouldn't take anything she says personally and as a person who has been on the blunt end of a personal attack, I can sympathize with those who suffered under it. I mean, geeze, there's only so much a psycho-hosebeast @unt can do it one day Besides, think of it in this light... you have to respect the source to take it personally. And *wishes she could dramatically rip up the webpage* I cannot say I'd respect this source. Anyone got a webby that gives useful constructive critism? _____________________

Coming up with 70 textures isn't completely my idea....it's months of remembering what customers have asked for in the past. The so-called "FATPACKS" aren't even my idea...it was something requested by a customer of mine as it is appropriately named after her (and the name isn't fatpack). But I'm a "sleezeball" for trying to give my customers what they want. Welp, count me in as one of the people who appreciate the "fatpacks". Besides thinking your work is fab I appreciate I can buy a bunch of different colors of a certain style in one shot...especially with styles I love...not to mention the ability to go all out and get a Willow pack. Sorry folks this is the ramblings of a "dumb bitch" don't mind me. Ramble all you like...we "brainless Barbie dolls" reading (holy crap, we can read!) don't mind it one bit. |

Haha, boycott my ass. Take the cause where it fucking matters. I don't need anyone's pseudo-activism shoved down my throat.
It reads like someone finding any excuse to piss on other people. So the indignation is prolly a farce. She just wants to bitch at people. She'll pick on people cuddling kittens in their ads if need be. Truth be known, I took out the cigarettes on some pics but not all, cuz I got lazy. Either way, if I feel like having a joint in my mouth when I log into SL and take pictures, that's my perogative. I'm not going to censor or filter my actions to appeal to such pettiness. _____________________

LOL Elka, don't stress over it...I've completely come to terms with being a "dumb bitch" to people. ::As I stare at my Master's Degree hanging on my "I love me wall":: I take her diarrhea of the mouth with a grain of salt. As it does sting, that someone would personally attack me that way not knowing a thing about me, but what can I do....oh well. As a friend said, "People get brave behind computers." Which is true. People don't get diarrhea of the mouth like that in real life....especially if you don't know someone. I mean the person they're talking crap to may just be a psychopath and would cut her throat right there. Haha you rock, I love you <3 This is sooo true! How many times did I want to tell someone "come say that to my face in RL?!" I am sure they wouldn't. People have a tendency to strongly believe they know the person or the person's thought behind a computer. Half of the time they are wrong, etcetc blahblah I could go on but there's no point. Anyways, yeah, I don't think adult to adult and face to face, this person would call you a dumb bitch over pixelated wig's colors. It's so free and ricidulous. Just for the record, I didn't even know about that site or the product reviews until this thread. Just because I'm mentioned there doesn't mean I share the views of the site owner, or plan on joining in on any smoking-ad boycots. (Though I may start my own for ads where the models have breast-sliders over 70. Blech.) This is all news to me, and I want to make damn sure I'm not going to be painted with the same broad brush for being mentioned there. Yeah I just mentionned it because it jumped to my face how you are like, a goddess to her and she keeps comparing everyone to you... I mean I like some stuff you make and all, I didn't think you were affiliated to her or anything, and if someone dares to "paint you with same brush", well they are as stupid as her ![]() HI5!! n.b. We owe that douche something tho... a new word. FATPACK!!!!! Count me in too for that as a lastname, haha!! *itsallyourfaultwillowcoughcough* lol _____________________

Your work is art in it's finest....anyone dumb enough to boycott you, doesn't deserve the products you provide. _____________________

Thanks, Elka ![]() It's nice to know that she (or anyone) likes my stuff. I doubt many of us make stuff hoping that others will hate it and call us dumb bitches for it. The fact that she praised my stuff while feeling the need to rip others apart on a very personal level definitely makes that praise bittersweet. Reviews, good or bad (of which I've had both, and am fine with both) should be done without feeling the need to sling personal insults. _____________________

Hmm, now that the site isn't slashdotted, the new product review is no longer linked, replaced with some "coming Thursday" text.
Was the review in question was for May 22-28, or the previous week? |

I was having trouble finding just what people are talking about since there doesn't seem to be a link from the front page. Maybe it's possible to reverse engineer the link.

What I find funny is she read this thread... she linked to it from her site.. yet she doesnt have the balls to join the convo here.
It's easy to take shots at people when they dont have a chance to confront you. The sad thing is... she could have done something really freaking cool with her site. It's got the potential to be a good reference site for SL.. but she had to taint it with personal attacks and rudeness... *sigh* _____________________

I was just reminded that saying something that's bad-mouthing AND entertaining is extremely difficult and takes a lot of skills, and brains.

I have Tobacco Plants in my SL nursery, if that means someone is going boycot, oh well.
I have a Coffee Plants too. Stop by and roll and grind your own. Tobacco is a sacred plant to many NA people. I have lots of other interesting plants, not all of them legal in RL. Does that mean the SL DEA is going to storm on to FURU and bust me? People are adults - live and let live, like I wish they would in RL. . _____________________

It's got the potential to be a good reference site for SL.. but she had to taint it with personal attacks and rudeness... *sigh* She must have felt some deep seated need to be plain mean. I mean, there were sooooo many other ways of saying that she didn't like the larger packages of hair. Why not just say "Look, it seems a bit unfair to me to see the large color packages such as the Willow Packs on the SLB and the SLX but not the smaller color packages that are found the stores. Also, I don't find the demos that are available in the stores on there either." (I have no idea if the statement is even true, because I don't use SLB or SLX, instead prefering to shop in world, but that's what I got from reading the rants.) Sounds much nicer, doesn't it? No nastiness, no personal attacks, and sounds like someone with a serious concern rather than mental issues. Gee, you'd think someone who rants about misspellings in ads would keep their own stuff to a professional standard. Add the word "hypocrisy" to the spelling bee, please and thank you. _____________________

It is sad, she has a chance to come here and defend herself and possibly swing people to her view. The fear of getting flamed must have kept her away.
/me gets snippy But in all seriousness... It would be nice for you, Merlyn, to come to this thread and speak your mind. Make a showing of sorts even if its to say "Ive already said all I have to say". You post plenty, why not here? |

Whenever I see those sorts of ads, my first inclination is to rush out to the store and buy some particle emitting disc primitives to inhale through
Luckily, the employees tend to look at you like an idiot when you ask for that sort of thing, or else I might have gotten virtual lung cancer or something. _____________________

Also I might add... Ive rarely seen a website more difficult to navigate.
Why were the editorials taken down? Yesterday it was host overload (or whatever) ... today they are down. |

There are cancer merchants in SL? Damn, if I'd known, I wouldn't have told the hospital to go ahead and dispose of that tumor. How much is it going for per pound?
Looking forward to boycotts in support of virtual helmet laws, seat belt laws, and jaywalking tickets . . . And remember, kids, in compliance with the ADA, all builds must be wheelchair accessible! _____________________
