The FAs would be stupid to sign anything like that. But you know they all will. One of these days when those folks are old, they'll realize what a waste of time they spent on TSR.

And you know, as a second thought, there's nothing that Thomas could do if something shady/illegal went on in that private forum and someone (with morals, no doubt) went and blabbed. Oh, the hypocrisy, Thomas!

And have you seen those same three posting on the BBS? I don't see them much, but they sure don't tow the line anymore. Quite funny.

I totally admire Kate for being honest. I'm sure the temptation to be all rainbow and flowery is there, but she resisted. Thanks for your honesty, Kate! Out of all of the descriptions, she's the one who was the most precise in description and seemed to show the most neutral report (showing the good AND the bad!) out of them all. Well done!

Posting on parenting forums may not be the most simple solution. Take CafeMom for example. Some of the moms that post there play Sims 2 and worship EA. A few have attempted to sway them to the booty side but have not been successful. There are too many out there who are trusting of big corporations like EA.

My parents both smoke. Now, as an adult, after ten years of living in my own home, I'm glad I don't live with them anymore. Their smoking totally turned me off of it at a young age (the asthma and yearly bouts of bronchitis! ), so it's not completely rare that a child would choose to not smoke. My dad's 53 and he hacks like an 80 year old man. I know he's got emphysema without a doctor's confirmation. He can't even sleep at night, so I know he's killing himself, but it's none of my business.

My parents have tried to quit smoking for years. My dad quit for a whole year once but went back to it. I've seen them struggle with it many times, and as much as they want to quit, they just can't seem to do it. It frustrates them, makes me sad, and I wish there was something that I could do to make it easier. I love them and am their only child, and I'd love to have them around for a long, long time.

EA's totally going to love Coconut's SS of BlackGarden spewing sekrit shtuff about them.

Oh, I can. He's been a EA fangirl for a long while. No big shocker to me.

Do they think they have enough ads now? Do they think they're not mooching enough money from their subscribers?

This invite wasn't just given to TSR. I've seen it advertised elsewhere a few weeks ago, but can't remember where... Maybe on the Sims 2 site? I can't remember. Dang it!

ETA: It WAS on snootysims that I saw that. It sucks that Steve's trying to pimp out his FAs to go on that trip. It's a shame that some other sites haven't shared the news that they've been invited.... if they were invited at all.

ROFL Total win!

Maybe someone will clue him and Steve on some commonly misspelled words. Or wait..... maybe Atwa will see this thread and give them the heads-up.

5. He also can't spell!! LOSE, not "loose"!! Argh.

If I had to guess I'd say senility, sociopath, and menopause all wrapped up in one neat little package.

Like I said, karma finds a way to get you. lol


I don't know anything about her except from what I have read here and in those shots, but I felt like his treatment of her was quite a bit harsh. If TSR was a full-time job, with a full-time salary, you could expect that kind of situation to occur... an employee would be fired. But this is TSR, and they have money coming out every crevice on their bodies. If someone needed time to be away for personal reasons, I can't imagine why they'd not warn you if you'd exceeded your allotted time away. Oh but what am I saying... this is TSR, I shouldn't have high expectations. lol

I wasn't arguing with you at all. I was using sarcasm, hence the bit of small text at the bottom. Sorry. Will note next time when I'm using sarcasm.

Karma has a way of finding you, that's for sure. No matter what kind of stunts she pulled, it was utterly super of Thomas to hit her with the retirement stick. Talk about a friendly, logical, intelligent man.

Hey, reverse psychology works on some. Maybe he'll keep it up and drive them all out.
