I see many of you read the "shoe rant" that I had posted a few days ago.

"Anyone else having a problem with this, or am i actually just a bad person? lol "
I guess the general consensus is that I am.

Anyways I just wanted to get to post this reply to "public" announce my appology for that thread. I wasnt... of sound mind when posted it. Honestly I would have deleted it but I wasnt even aware I had posted it untill someone had mentioned it ingame. After reading it, I can see where the flames came from. All of the replies were right, I really have no idea what the hell i was thinking with that post.

All in all, what is said cant be undone, and im sure i've stained many of your opinions of me.

Any kind of primwork is tough, it takes a long time to make one thing, and even longer to learn how.
Obviously there is no way you know your work is "low quality" unless you learn how to make something "high quality". Then you, and only you, get the option to look back and say "damn, ive come a long way". Even then "quality" is a purely opinionated thing.
If something is high priced, you'll also quickly realize it is, when you yourself or shopping, or you get no sales.

"I suppose I shouldnt be aggrivated that poeple are dumb enough to pay for very low quality items, not my money right?"
Poeple who buy items no matter what it is have their own motivation and perception of that item. It's ridiculous to think you can place a title like "dumb" on someone for having an opinion.

Poeple new to the trade of prim crafting most definately need encouragement. I myself am known for buying a new crafter's items. I had my far share of teachers aswell.

In specific response to the replies;
-Kimberly, you make excellent shoes, I'm assuming I wasnt talking about you. Aswell as all ther other designers who posted on this thread.
-This isnt the real world, and it should have no bearing on our second life.

Again my sincere appologies :(

I can't expect that mended any wounds I caused, or cleaned and stains i made.
But I thought I might put that out there anyways :(

Fatal, I think you have done a very big thing by posting this here. I know you are a good guy and that you didn't mean any harm. Words are very powerful things, and we must choose them carefully. We get better at this by making a few mistakes along the way :)

Don't worry too much about this episode ... it will float away faster than you can texture a rotating torus.

And by the way, I have been wearing your shoes for the last two days and they are wonderful. Keep up the amazing work ... and share your knowledge with others ... that is the best way to make your Second Life count for something more.
