Did IK get banned? Or what??
He got dissed.
It was made very obvious that I wasn't welcome. So my superiors and I talked and decided to withdraw from these forums. I'm still lurking though because I still like the conversation here. Especially in the songs and coffee house sections I have been frequenting since before starting at IK under different username.
That, to me, is VERY unfortunate. First, why would they not welcome you here? You have as much right to be here, to share your opinions, and to promote your firm, as anyone else does on this forum. This is an OPEN forum, and if Cake feels that you are stealing their business or "dissing" THEIR product, then maybe they should address THEIR OWN ISSUES about it before "chastising" or "banning" you.
We are ALL (I hope) adults here. We have the ability to make up our own minds, based on whatever info is provided. I feel that to
make someone feel unwelcome because of who they work for is, on Cakes part, on anyone else's for that matter, a sure sign of insecurity
and immaturity on their part.
Let's grow up people. Stop the "Politic-ing" and get on with producing HIGH QUALITY products. THEN let US decide what we like and don't like.
It's OUR DECISION - NOT YOURS!!! AND....let everyone have their say...FREEDOM OF SPEECH. You don't have to like it, or respond to it, or even READ it for that matter. But don't make someone feel unwelcome because they are expressing their opinion. I'm sure that the Cake people would
be welcome to do the same on the IK forum (I would hope). We all should have the ability to "agree to disagree" and just get along and carry on.
So, IK Obi Wan Plugin Kenobi, you will be missed, but glad to know you're still lurking about...
I don't know the WHAT is that brought this about. But from my experience with your posts, I think it's a "competitive" fear - and that, to me, is sad.
If the products you make "hold up" to critical scrutiny....then you have NOTHING to fear IMHO.
