I was not defending her in any way. On the
contrary, I mentioned that doing the same shit
as I did (whining about a fair and square
defeat) is a big, crappy mistake.
If you're talking about the profiteering - as
long as it isn't a crime and doesn't harm anyone
except in a (taken overly seriously) hobby, it's
perfectly ok. The desired behaviour of this
community cannot be installed as a law or even a
degree - idealism will unfortunately never take
over the world, or else I wouldn't need to cry
over all the poor foxes at furfarms. Cel
collectors are hobbyists and since cels are one
of a kind items, they can become fierce
competitors as well. This can cause frustration
and tears, but will never inflict any damage to
anyone's life. There's no law that says "Ask
fair prices so everyone can enjoy it" That'd be
cool. Cels are goods and goods are always
produced for money, directly or, in the case of
cels, indirectly (in this case, the anime was
produced for money and the cels are just a side
effect). And prices on luxury items will NEVER
be fair, they will always be so that sellers get
rich and buyers come again, and they will,
because they crave the goods.
Also, if I understood her post right, SHE was
bawling about OTHERS profiteering. I don't know
about her activities on doing so herself, I
merely responded to what she said here. Because
unlike others, *I* do not judge people from one
or two posts on the internet, *I* first
carefully judge them after meeting them in
person or at least, exchanging a few private
emails. So I cannot and I will not go into what
she may have posted which I did not read - I
only read this thread and this is what I am
responding to now without taking sides.
So much for the actual topic.
And this much more for your lovely side remark:
I've already noticed people adore taking my
words in a way they can flame me for. By the
way, sometimes it may even hurt
an "unscrupulous, emotionless, egomanic" person
like me. I say "A hole in the floor" and you
interpret it as "Asshole, kiss the floor!" and
make a flaming crusade out of it. Oh geez, I
will just swallow what I'm thinking now.
Small hint: "Anna" is way easier to write than a
nick that's so old I don't even feel a
connection to it anymore. Plus, I changed my
nick on purpose as I don't mean to be my old,
indeed somewhat indigestible, self who was named
shura-chan, I mean to become a new me. My life
has changed since then. I mean to change.
So maybe face the fact that after a few years,
even the rotten, no-right-to-exist, despicable,
Bin-Laden-like (and whatever else you may accuse
me of being) me may have changed, too.
1. Today I see that spending money from found
wallets isn't only lousy but also dead wrong.
2. I only knowingly reproduced other ppl's cels
twice and decided to stop after the 2nd one
because I found it to be uncurteous indeed.
3. About Lia's contest, I half-died of shame
right after I posted it and I'm still
embarrassed to the ground. If she were living
anywhere close, I'd come crawling on my knees,
kissing the floor.
So much for old, irrelevant crap which'll never
affect the course of history - so relax.
But yeah... it'd be sooooo hard to accept that
even I am not a heartless monster who can be
your punching bag, huh? If it makes you happy,
go on punching me (but then think again who's
the rotten one now), but if you may find that
there're more enjoyable things to do than to
complain about others who don't affect your
life, I suggest you dismiss this ridiculous
getting into old crap.
Except for one person who described me as a
sickminded shit for asking my buyers to be
patient cuz my foot was busted and who really
pissed me off to the point that I want to gut
her through her toenails, I don't dislike anyone
here, you neither, eventhough I hate it when
people have to dig up old bones: because I don't
know anyone here, so I can't judge them! Except
Almathea whom I met a few times, but I still
don't know her enough to judge her.
I'm able to ignore small itches, it makes life a
lot easier. You should try it, too. Cuz
scratching will only make it worse.
I'm off. Have to destroy a few people's lifes,
rob a few banks and kick some grannies. Oops,
why am I reading your mind? No, I meant, "I'm
off. Have to look after my sick rabbit and
prepare dinner".
Have a nice evening, even if you wish me a
rotten one.
