Profilers make playing KittyCats more interesting!

[Minx Diabolito]

MoonHowler, they were interesting and made things convenient. Also they provided the info you are mentioning. But there is also other information beyond these rose tinted glasses. You ask if he used the picture for his own sales. Yes he did because the product which we all paid for, relied on this very thing. It relied on information from KittycatS themselves, the cat pedigree and other things. Otherwise it would have been a blank profiler without a cat picture and no one will have bought that. It relied everytime on the connection to the Kittycat pedigree and that comes from Callie and her website. No other place. He made money using her work. Without her work, he can have made nothing worth buying.

I am stunned to now know that they were ever developed without the agreement that he could use the images. He never had that agreement in the first place and went ahead anyway. If I'd know this, I'd never have bought them. If somebody goes and develops a whole product based on not even having the original creator's permission, it isn't very professional. You get the permission first. Not later.

There is also the other information about people being verbally abused (friends of mine have been just for asking him a polite question), and this is also proved by how much support is there for him on the other thread. Not much. This is because of his reputation he got for himself as a rude and difficult person to deal with. It is also a classic case of a great product which was undone by a creator being too controlling, rude and even in Callie's words "We’ve made several attempts to work with the creator to find a solution where they could continue to use our images so as not to disrupt the use of their product, however those attempts have not been successful, and were met with strong-arm tactics, threats, verbal abuse, and unreasonable demands." So if you are mad at KittycatS, you are mad with the wrong person hun. They tried to work with him, and he would not. He undid his own product and then chose to throw it all away instead of work with her, given that chance again.

I have only recently become aware of how bad these "strong-arm tactics, threats, verbal abuse, and unreasonable demands" have been to quite a few people. I have only recently learned that he was IMing people asking them over and over why they were not using his profiler, which is harassment or going to their stores turning up like he owned them and bossing people around. Then claiming he tried to speak to them or warn them when what really happened is he was rude, or threatened to ban them over minor issues and no wonder people don't listen to that or tolerate it. Where did being friendly and nice to customers go? He has the reputation he has now because it is really how he was to people. It's only now people stopped fearing he will turn off their profilers that they have stopped being silent. I'm really quite shocked how many people were affected by this and scared.

There is no need to be rude to people asking basic questions. Or rude to people who innocently did not understand they needed to price the cats more than to price the box and people had no choice on it. Infact the fact the recent update provided an option with and without price was confusing to me because I thought I had the choice to have the price on or not. A lot of people thought they did not have to or had a choice in it, and instead of being spoken to nicely he chose to be rude and bossy again to them and even to threaten to ban them if they did not do it within his timeframe. That is the opposite to what should happen where someone is nice to customers who bought their product, not the other way around hun. No wonder kittycatS wants nothing to do with that. Being bossy and rude does not get respect, it gets dislike. So I hope he will learn a lesson from that because that is how he is viewed by a lot of people.

So now you know this, think about how good those profilers seem now. For me it is easy. A convenient tool that might sell a few more cats then normal but at the price of people in our community getting harassed, bullied, and spoken to like crap? No thankyou. Those cons far outweight any pros. I do really hope KittycatS themselves will work on something like these profilers for us all if possible as that would be the dream ending here.

Fingers crossed and hugs to all ^.^
