Here are some submitted screens showing how Tom manipulated a posted opinion on S2C. Many thanks to Paleonanth who has waived her anoniminity on these screencaps. Readers of Paleoanths private journal will have already seen these, but for those of who have not, here they are!
Tom first sets the scene by falsly implying that EA has ‘made their position clear’.
He then moves in to suggest Paleonanth make a post on S2C
He then edits her words prior to her posting it on S2C
The final draft was posted.
Tom is no stranger writing someone elses words for them, windkeepers recently changed ‘about me’ page was written by him, not windkeeper.
Honestly, where is this idiot getting the idea that EA is “supporting” paysites? I’ll admit that they’ve avoided the topic more than I would like, but I have certainly never heard them declare “paysites are the way to go, guys!”
This is just another example of that man’s pathetic manipulation tactics and the state of sheer denial he is living in.

That whole thing is disgusting, and it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. What a manipulating little worm Thomas is. But then again, psychopaths love to manipulate and exploit others, so…

why would EA do that anyways? In fact most lucrative way to go would be to sue tsr for violating their EULA, buy them out or win them out (the latter being obviously the better course) and use their popularity (and now legality) to suck out the clueless players’ money (well they are getting pretty desperate what with their losses and all). Tom would be too hard to control and he’s not well liked as it is. It’s not like the FAs would have a problem turning their backs on him to remain in EA’s good graces. I should have gone into business.

After all the shit that has happened, I’m not surprised he did such a thing as this.

I have to admit, I am a bit ashamed I let him do that to me. But, you guys needed to see it.

I posted an open letter on the BBS:

BlueSoup, that letter is fantastic.

Disgusting.
BlueSoup I’ve just added my comment to your fantastic open letter.
Thank you all for being always on the stage, even if nobody would like to dance this tip-tap. Don’t stop, we need someone who tell the truth.

I’m a lurker for long time to this genius site and the only thing I want to say:
” Thoma$$, GTFO from the Sims2Community, clean your fucking site which a “bug box/1/” and had discutable content *cough*MoreSmuttythanyou*cough* and… No. Kill your site, destroy your computer and get a life.”
Customs contents sites must be free. Internet had so many solutions for avoid “donations”.
Bluesoup, your open letter says the truth.Fantastic.
/1/ I had to downloaded items from the shit ressource. 95% of them had bugs, flashing blue etc. … I wish I had be banned from this site. I support PMBD.
P.S: I hope my english is not too bad.

I think that either Thoma$$ or Steal Bone’em also wrote that new post on the BBS, Drea was just the dumb bimbo that posted it in her name.
Comment by Shana — March 4, 2009 @ 01:03
I am so glad to know I am not the only person who thinks Drea is in Thoma$$’s pocket.

EA states that we SHOULD respect them, not that we have to.

That man is just a glutton for my poetry*
Gets to work!

Thomass deserves to be smited by God and then be eternally tortured in hell.
And then all of his money should be donated to starving orphans in Africa.
