We're talking about ethics. We're questioning the ethics of someone possibly having used someone else work.

We're also talking about the ethics or (lack thereof) of making accusations of theft on your blog without anything having been proven legally, in my opinion, out of spite.

Go ahead, go check the archives of SCD for theft, it consists of more people than you and Minnu.

Also, we're not talking about ethics here. We're talking about the lack of yours, it seems.

Well, to tell the truth I do like knowing what designers are getting a bit too much "inspiration" from their Vogues, I don't really follow fashion at all so I like to know who's really getting their own ideas. I respect you for calling out the copy cats

People call you a drama-monger, that you thirst for attention, but as long as you're telling the examined truth then I respect you.

I told Ten she should have asked Danae to come post this thread.

Joshua Nightshade

Oh sweetheart! What happened?

Quiplash

Reading the blogpost is making me more confused (which was possibly the intent here)... who the hell began circulating the notion that this whole debacle was simply a publicity stunt cooked up to promote Minnu Palen's new sim?!? Talk about spin!

Quiplash

AMEN

Flash flash flash.

I can't speak for how much it might have cost because I refuse to view it. Required popups? No. No. No. No. No. No.

ugh, well... if you really want to hear, one last post (a nice distraction from all the other stuff I guess, this thread is so long by now lol)

Boyfriend and I were going to a party last night for a friend going away to work in the UAE. On the way there a fellow decided his driving 10 km slower than the speedlimit on a winding two-lane country road was too slow for him... so he tried to pass us. Bend in the road came up and lo and behold, other car on the opposite side of the road. So he wasn't quite passed us and there was the other car... he had two choices, head on collision or run into the side of our car on the two lane highway.

meh... I'm glad that we're not seriously hurt, but the car is really messed up. :/

"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.

"Call it what you like," said the Cat.

Excuse me??

The thread was STARTED about the use of the Poser textures, Ingrid. It was you, among others, who dragged in the whole attack-Tenshi thing. Attack-the-messenger strategies are often used to muddy the water and distract readers from the ACTUAL ISSUE, which is, in this particular case, the alleged copying of Danae's work, without permission, by Minnu in the making her skins.

You're the one who injected this post into page 3 of the thread:

No Ingrid. You have some nerve. YOU go start your own thread.

I die a little inside whenever I have to tell Firefox to "allow popups"

Io Zeno

Thank you, sweetie.

God, take care of yourself, Hypatia, typing at the computer can't help.

CoyoteMomiji

Hypatia, damnit, take care of YOU. You're no good to us in small pieces.

I made a neck injury even worse just by insisting on typing so.... don't.

Ingrid

This is a public forum Quip, and when something is posted, everyone is going to have their own reasons for being interested in the topic. Sometimes several reasons. I only suggested Hypatia start her own thread if she wants to only discuss ONE aspect of the topic.

The "ACTUAL ISSUE" as you call it, is the aspect you decided you want to talk to about, but there are other people here too. Not just you. I'm not the only one in this thread who has brought up similar issues to mine.

Joshua Nightshade

Ugh man I had an accident when I was 17 that was nearly the same as that. I hope you're feeling better and that insurance will handle it.

Joshua Nightshade

Io Zeno

I'm going to quote an old movie now, you may recognize it or not:

"Your anger has unbalanced you."

Io Zeno

And trust me, Ingrid, I'm not judging you, god knows. But you aren't being fair.

Ingrid

Well you are. And I disagree. That's ok though.

Besides i think that depsite what you say, your friendship with Tenshi has clouded your judgement. So that makes us even.

Joshua Nightshade

Quiplash

No, you aren't. I didn't say you were the only one, but you're certainly among the most vocal.

The so-called "aspect" is WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT: SKIN-STEALING. It is not about Tenshi's alleged hate-on for Minnu. She is the reporter of the story.
