Dear Scott Sproat

I have to add my agreement to Klatuu's. I have not only been the recipient of several very negative and non-constructive comments from Mr. Sproat on several of my skins, but every skin that I have been in the comments section for and seen a comment from Mr. Sproat, its been negative and rude. You have not contributed any skins to the community so you have no clue as to the hard work put in by all of the artists here to not only learn the programs, but to come up with creative and original skins to offer to anyone who would like to download them. Your comments might hold more weight if you actually contributed more than your non-constructive comments. And I do have one question; why are you constantly visiting a website that features enhancements for XP if you use ME and believe that it is so much more superior than XP?

Just out of curiosity, what did he comment on?

Klatuu...I just looked through all the comments on your skins...didn't see any by a 'Scott Sproat'.

If you get any obnoxious comments, just let me know and I'll look into them.

If they are particularly 'iffy' they can be removed...and if the commenter is/makes a practise of being objectionable he can be removed, like-wise...

Swtnssss...I saw his 'remaining' comments....I'll keep an eye on his future behaviour...

Jafo. I was refering to comments made about other peoples skins. Some Swtnssss skins and particularly OvaKill by Gabriel, which prompted me to post this. Thanks for taking note.

/me takes the punk outside and (metaphorically of course) chops his bloody 'ead, clean, right off...

Klatuu...his card has been marked...

Well done, Kaltuu and Jafo.

Hey, what about me? /me is the one who chopped the bloody fool's bleading HEAD, clean, RIGHT off....

Good choppin' JM

Now clean up that mess!

Jafo: Thank you for the quick attention with this. I would like to apologize for my reactions to Mr. Sproat in Gabriel's comment section. I don't let comments bother me about my own skins, but Gabriel has just started making skins for the community and it is not fair for him to get pounced on by others and maybe decide it isn't worth the hassle to continue contributing. Once I realized a slinging match was starting the subject was brought here. Gabriel doesn't deserve this kind of thing in his comments section. Again, thank you.

Evidently Mr Sproat is back in the OvaKill comments section and has taken exception to Jafo's comments.

Perhaps Jafo could take a look? That skin's comment section could do with a bit of a clean up.

Ooops....his mistake.

Mr Sproat's ability to post comment has been revoked.

Funny, that....

I'm still laughing.

Letter from Paul to the objectionables.....

"Scott...

Sadly for you, you failed to heed my warning and unfortunately I AM someone to take notice of.

Wincustomize.com strives to be a 'decent' place for skinners to congregate and release their works for the general public.
We are the largest site [in terms of hits] in this Skinning community, with 440,000 members, and counting.

I doubt you will be missed.

And another heads-up....generally speaking, all of the skinning sites tend to have little time for people abusing what is given 'freely'.

Enjoy your life.

Cheers,
Paul Martin

One thing that rankles me is some people's inability to be courteous and polite, assuming the anonymity of the net gives them carte blanche to be rude and disrespectful.
I always have found it wise to 'lurk' in order to get to know exactly what is considered appropriate behaviour on a particular site....eg, on Devart it's almost mandatory to resort to colourful language... , whereas here it is NOT.

People learn from their mistakes....eventually, or perish in the process....

Jafo should be getting really good at this by now!

"Another one bites the dust....."

May I get your slippers and your pipe Mr. Jafo?

I was just wondering if he had time to lodge his complaint? Good Looking Out Jafo Now if you could only come and do that in the community I Live In Thanks again

Klaatu, read "Calling Jafo, Please come in......
should be good for a laugh.

Hmph. I never get to exile people. Jafo always beats me to it.

I'll save the next scalp for you, Brad...

I just want to add that windows me is the worst excuse for an operating system ever... it is almost as enjoyable to use windows me on a regular basis as it is to have a cathoder tube (hope I spelled that right) inserted into my most beloved of body parts... if microsoft had any idea what they were doing they would have fired the guy who let windows me ever make onto shelves... I know the minute I installed it on my computer almost two years I wanted to strangle myself for wasting 100 bucks... just like I did a coulple years earlier when I installed windows 95 and almost cried when I found that it made my computer actually harder to use.. rather than easier...

'catheter'....
