 * sigh*

I really didn't want to have to write this post. I really didn't, but sadly I feel I have to since there are people out there who are far too cowardly to air their concerns like mature adults and instead feel that vague posting on websites like tumblr is the best way to take potshots at people.

I'm not going to name names, the person who did the vague posting knows who he is.

Let me be clear about something right now.

==='''I have NEVER taken, nor will I ever take the intellectual property of another person and use it for my own ends. I will not use the work of a fellow roleplayer as a basis for my own. I am a CREATOR, I create using my own ideas, themed from at times, universes that I find inspiring.'''===

Today I found out that someone accused me of stealing their ideas. Not in a direct way, they didn't have the guts to say that, no instead they were vague and claimed that they created the idea first and that it had to be a 'coincidence' that I created a similar idea shortly afterward.

I will not tolerate this level of cowardice. I will not tolerate the mumbling of people with no spine to stand up and confront the people who they believe have wronged them. I will not tolerate the level of immaturity that has been displayed today. Period.

If you have an issue with what I have written, if you have questions about where I have taken inspiration, then tell me or ask. Come to me openly, without attempting to go behind my back and hope I won't notice.

Most of you who see this aren't the problem, but for those that are, and they know who they are.

Go step on a lego.
