My reasoning is being against the paysite model is different that being against the site themselves.
The name of the site is not the paysite model must be destroyed. It isn't just the model, although that may be how it started. Paysites have damaged and divided this community, among other things like sharing information between each other. Since TSR is the biggest offender, they get the most of the targeted posts.
I know TSR is a acceptable target for two reasons, the first one is all the stuff they been pulling off all these years and the second is because they are still around after all these years and are still notable, unlike older sites that either died out or are a shadow of their former self (8th Deadly Sims, WDS, SimFreaks).
I dont like TSR not because just because its a paysite but because all the crap they been pulling all these years but at least I am not going to given then a excuse of calling us "extremists" that are interested on the destruction of sites.

Since what TSR has done to individuals has become well known, anyone who stays there or, even worse, goes there now is iimplicitly showing approval for their behavior whether their stuff is free or not. They are supporting them and their actions by keeping the site alive and drawing in people. This is unacceptable. I find anyone, and I do mean anyone, who uploads to TSR these days without morality and their actions abhorrent. After all that is happened, I have no idea how anyone could justify uploading there unless they are hoping for a FA spot and the money. Publicity and a growing fan base is not enough justification for the support they are showing a site that has done the things that TSR has done.
