Quote - igohigh, no worries on the download ... you can reset it as many times as you need to.
easy for you to say; you were not involved in the past two locked threads where I was called the 'bad guy' and threatened to be banned by certain individuals, one of whom I have been referring to, even before this incident occured. You also do not know the 'behind the scenes' conversation that had taken place with various members coming to me and asking "what is wrong with those people" and "why are they attacking you and locking your thread? It was the others making the attack, not you" and other various words of support by those where where there first hand to see where this whole 'hey lets get igohigh' mentality began. I have copied and kept for keepsake about 6 full pages of IMs that I received even before I made the mistake and linked to an inappropriate DVD, and ALL of them where in support of me and slamming said individual(s) for their conduct and threat of banning. Some were even by members who rarely ever post in the forums stating that while I did not know them for they don't normally post but they had been watching the thread unravel and were appoled at how it all went down.
No, I don't 'worry' for I have done no wrong other then the one mistake, but I do not intend to 'give them fuel' to make more accusations that I am a torrent rule breaker or let them go off doing like a certain other and start hollering that I have 'compulsively downloading' or some such. For one thing I have ALWAYS done is respect the ELU (or what ever its called) that comes with purchased product. Even one time when I did get an incorrect download at Bbay and contacted them, they told me to keep the wrong product and they set me up with the correct product to download, I told them that was ok for I had not purchased it so I deleted it from my hard drive (plus I knew the creator and did not feel right accepting a 'free' copy of his work that he himself did not offer me)
No, I made two resets already thinking I could use someone's broadband to download, both times did not work out, so before I push that button a third time I want them to KNOW just what is going on so there is no wild accusations "hey igohigh is abusing the store because he is angry about the ban" or some such nonsense.....like I said, you don't know the 'behind the scense' activity that lead to my current situation....
