Most of you are aware of that but not before he turns on YOU there is a reaction. If people would have been more loyal towards each other this would never have happened. This maniac has been let loose for years and years and only because the ones that uses his profilers are enabling him to do so. When money is involved the community feeling and compassion goes out of the door. Lick'n and a few others DID take a stand very early ( thanks Lick'n ) but most sim owners and users did not care at all...and still don't.

I hear a lot that we have a fantastic community. I don't see that. A great community would never had let this crazy person continuously bullied it's members. We are responsible for what kind of community we create. We all are and Rene wouldn't have stood a chance without you guys.

I recognize you are right, the better part of me should have turned off Rene’s profilers a year ago, but another part of me just wanted to sell cats so I could afford to continue to breed them. Breeding is an escape for me. It occupies my mind and gives me dopamine shots whenever I finally breed the cat I have been trying for.

My father has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I have struggled for years to overcome the negative influence he has had on me. I tend to find myself still trying to be the optimist about people who are inflicted with the disorder. I recently had a conversation with someone still using Rene’s profilers, and she said “I am used to men acting this way in my life.” Sometimes early ingrained conditioning is difficult to overcome.

I have fought social injustice for a good part of my life; and truthfully, the bottom line is sometimes I am just tired of fighting. I come to SL to escape and try to find some enjoyment in the time I have for myself now. I am not offering this as an excuse, just and explanation, and I know I don't speak for everyone only my own personal struggle with this. I have heard the argument: Do you stop using Apple products just because Steve Jobs was a jerk?

I do believe we should keep trying to create a better community, and always strive to create a better world. When one person gets tired and drops the ball, someone else needs to pick it up. I hope we get there someday, and I commend those who stood up to Rene from the beginning.

I also decided to start a blog, for a much longer winded version of this response. Starting a blog is something I have wanted to do for some time. The timing just seems right now.
