I think I was misunderstood. I was stating that ultimately we users don't actually have any "right" to complain about the rules imposed, because we are essentially using a free service and complaining about said rules is basically like being given a free slice of cake and being told you can only eat it with a fork and you start throwing a temper tantrum and begin acting like a petulant child because you wanted to eat it with a spoon. If such a fair, equitable condition cannot be met for a free, tasty item, then you're being an obnoxious brat. The addition of the donations was meant in a context wherein you would have at least provided something to the forum whose rules you are whining about, as opposed to just being a person using something for free and complaining about how said free service is run.
God-damn right I'm a colorist! I am also an elitist Prismacolor Supremacist, too. And did you say they were dandy, Gilly? I dunno, I stopped reading this bitchfest at around the tenth page and just jumped right to the "reply" button so if sometime after that you conceded the point, then good for you. Doesn't change the fact you're still an obnoxious brat, though... RE: Why Was I Banned?

Lel. It doesn't matter if it's free. It doesn't matter who you are, who is getting whatever free. A suggestion that can improve a service is a suggestion that can improve a service.

Stop the squabble.
Yep CoH, its just that...
Poet, with your quote, the context is delightfully perfect. XD

Do you know what this place would be without the users? A practically dead site. Better that users complain and compromises made, than administration dictate and users simply be forced to leave if they disagree. So basically... Atheism+.

I haven't done that in like, a year or more. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
