RE: HELLO ITS ME.
I am sorry but I do not know how to quote part of a post so I will type here what I refer to. Shamu you said "I use and own both products, and use both when I am allowed to, because my only concern as a seller and buyer of kittycats is to get the most exposure to the cats in my shops, love tables, and auctions. No one should be telling me or anyone else to stop using a product that the large majority are still using, and that does comply with whatever new rules Kittycats has imposed upon them."
I do agree that you and anybody should be able to use both products. The problem is that people are being told by said person that they cannot use both. Do you understand that? Many people are being harassed to not have both products and to stop using the one not made by said person (Mr M). He is making their life hell and trying to tell them to put what he wants in their stores. Not what they want in their own store. Do you see that is a problem and not okay and is understandably upsetting a lot of people?
Nobody has the right to tell anyone what they can use in their own store but this is exactly what he is doing. I'm genuinely glad you had a good experience but lots of people have not and have they have the right to speak. People have every right to speak out about it because its wrong. If you buy a product and then are receiving contact from the creator and not very nice saying "I don't like what else you use in your store" and he keeps contacting you trying to make you remove it, this is harassment. I know at least 12 people who tried to ignore him trying contacting them and he went on and on and would not leave them alone. The result was they felt forced to remove his so they could have peace. Of course they would. It is the only way to be free of his continual harassment. It also means they lost the money they paid for his product which is not right. But they could not continue to use it because they were being harassed. It is not much of a choice really.
He and nobody has the right to do that and harass others for what they choose for their own stores. You said "No one should be telling me or anyone else to stop using a product" but this is what he has been doing. People are getting harassed and made to justify why they use more than his profiler. He doesn't have a right to argue with people like that or comment on what is in their store. It is none of his business.
You may not agree it is a good solution to say choose alternatives, but it is the only thing which is actually protecting people from being harassed. I care about this community and that people are being bullied. If you would like to discuss more with me in SL please send me an IM and I am very happy to discuss the subject in a friendly and calm way. Thank you =)
