It sucks that the one who was taken advantage of, must feel compelled to defend their actions. It stinks, I tell you!

I just have two things to say on this thread:

1. Bitch knew what he was getting into when he made the dirty deal. If he didn't, then he should've.

2. I hope Cory Ondrejka is reading this, and the related thread, with great interest. And I hope he understands now why we said his permissions proposal was sheer madness.

I assume they're busy with 1.5.6 but if you're really concerned his email and IMs are public knowledge. When I've contacted him in the past he's been really receptive.

1. Should it be a bannable offense? Tell me how it has hurt the builder at all? IF anything this feud has escalated the popularity of him. As one linden told me, "It's better to settle disputes rather than banning people left and right."

2. I can complain, because he still fought with Dan, EVEN AFTER he apologized and removed the item from the store.

3. He has the right, as I said was UNDERSTANDABLE, if you read correctly. However, I see no negative consequences from what has resulted for the builder, and, furthermore, I also have the right to be upset if I feel this situation was unfair.

4. Resorting to minor insults? Wow, tactless and immature, good job buddy.



Sorry to tell you, but the builder who started the feud on a different thread didn't create it to amuse people. He obviously created the thread to gain sympathy for his so called "loss". And I repeat again, I DO NOT SUPPORT PLAGARISM, and I completely understand that he would be mad about this. To make this clear, I created this thread to tell the other side of the story as others have stated. Although Dan plagarized, which is a bad business ethic in itself, it's morally as bad as taking someone's hard earned money, which MORE THAN recompensates for anything Dan did.



The 'minor' bit was NOT meant to be an insult. In that post you sounded like a minor to me. It contained a lot of grammar errors consistent with the way minors tend to speak or write. Some of your later posts don't sound as 'minorish', but I am not yet convinced that you are an adult.

Alright, I wasn't aware my post was undergoing your so called "grammar analysis". I'll be sure to "double check" my grammar and mechanics, the next time I post. Your humorous speculation amuses me, keep up the good work :D .

What i would do in that instance is put the builder on ignore and inform him that if he attempts to grief me that the griefing will be met swiftly and decisively and they will not be able to grief me more than once.
