So are FA's only considered TSR if they post PayPal information?
Okay, I get it, you deliberately act obtuse, thinking that if you pretend you just don't see someone elses's point, they'll assume that they aren't explaining it very well, and will thus believe that they could be at fault. Bzzt! Sorry, didn't work.
But... just in case. FA's are NOT TSR. But they are employees of TSR. There is a difference. The part I posted about them asking for information? It said TSR, not "TSR and it's employees." Also, again, it said NOTHING about sharing the information on a semi-private forum, if TSR felt I was breaking one of their rules. Had it said that, I never would have given out that information.
So how are you going to have it, does coconut go public with sensitive information or not?
No but she could?
Well if she does then that's on her, IMHO.
Please stop with the game of "I speak few words, thus I am brilliant", because it comes across like, "I iz the smartest caveman." It's really irritating, and I know the trick. This is not your Fourth Grade poetry class, no one appreciates your attempt to argue in Haiku.
Coconut never went public with information. She went public with the proof. She blurred out the sensitive information. Now, if your point was, "How do we know it was sensitive information..." okay, you're right, we don't 100% know, but why would Thomas post false information for the FA's to read? The whole point of the sharing information thread, was to "shame" the pirates. The thread was even called "The Hall of Shame."
Based on the evidence, it sure looks like TSR is guilty of sharing information. You're over here playing the devil's advocate, saying, "But how do you know? Maybe it's all lies!" If you really believe that, then stop wasting your time writing poor poetry, go and find some fucking evidence and present it. If you can prove Coconut is making this stuff up? I will tip my hat to you. I won't say I was wrong, though, because my opinion at this time is based on all the evidence I've seen for my own eyes. If you can bring evidence to prove your side, I will take that into account. But so far, all we get is you saying, "But how do you know?"
You are starting to remind me of my great niece who has entered that stage of arguing every single thing. If you tell her the sky is blue, she will go, "How do you know?" If you explain, she said, "But how do you know?" However, she is four going on five, so I cut her some slack. What is your excuse?
I'm not saying it was right to post those names, OK? I have never said that.
Excuse me?
And this information wasn't even posted in a public forum so what's the big deal?
As with everything else having to do with paysites this has blown out of all proportions.
Not so strange considering what this site is all about but still...
At the end of the day i'm doing you a favour by pointing out that you're wrong, giving you a chance to learn.
The opposite of that, not telling you when i know you're wrong, is that friendlier?
You're still wrong if you think you just over-simplify.
No, you never said, "It was right to share the names" But you defended it several times, using arguments such as, "It was a private forum," and "You've blown this all out of proportion," and "You're wrong." All your actions and words said that if you didn't think it was "right" you sure as hell didn't think it was
wrong either.
How do you know someone didn't say that? How do you know coconut would show it if someone did?
I don't know. But, I would think if someone did, they'd come forward with their information. At this point, as I said earlier, the proof I have points to Coconut being right. If you want to find the proof that she's wrong, have at it. In the meantime, I continue to form my opinions on the basis of the evidence given. If you want to change my mind, get me some damned evidence.
And i think you're blowing it up just a little bit.
And I think you're oversimplifying it, in order to make yourself and your buddies look good. Because yeah, I do believe you are "Someone" at TSR and you're over here to defend your little friends. Many other have tried to make us see the "way of TSR." All have failed. Why do you think you'll be any different?
(To everyone else... yes, I know, Blackmac did her little flounce, but I don't believe it for one minute. She said she was leaving, only hoping that we would sigh in relief and not argue back, so she could claim she had her victory. You know and I know she hasn't left. She may refuse to post again, but she'll still check this thread out for a few days, to see what the reaction is.)
