Topaz problem

[faberryman]

There are no download links - all you get now is an online installer which downloads the latest one - which is now a $100 rip off!

Oh how bitter the fruit of life. Not everything turns out as we would hope. The key to life is dealing with such setbacks with equanimity. It's time to move on.

You misunderstood me. I didn't say they published the links, only that all the old versions were still online for download. There are (or were) both online and offline installers. You'll have to ask Topaz support to give you a direct link for some speific version.

Brilliant! I have to save this one...

I am surprised that the title and content of this thread is still showing here? Capitol letters and alleged swear word isn't a good advert for the site and the posters intransigence to understand doesn't make an informative post.

No precedent was actually set with the "restraint" in the cap letters and alleged swear word. Do an Advanced Search for the word in full, I found no less than 30 posts where the un-redacted word was used. So apparently the use doesn't break any forum rules.
I'm not condoning the use of the word in full or semi redacted but I think maybe the forum here is less severe in the use of such language as others and that's fine with me. So -1.

In the title?

I was once banned (by the previous management) for writing "f..k off"

1. No, in posts. The word is still the word. It's still spread throughout the forums. Big F'ing' deal.
2. Sure it wasn't for something else said?

The word might be the same, but the impact isn't. There is a difference between being buried among several pages and hundreds of replies, and featured prominently, in all caps even, on the main page with forum topics.

I generally decry the spread of profanities in a civilized discourse. It cheapens everyone.

The impact noted is your opinion. The facts are, the word in full is found in the forum posts. Perhaps the sensibilities of the owners (current and previous management) and your own sensibilities so differ such you should find another forum to hang out in. I suggest those over on DPR where any number of words are automatically banned and moderator censorship is high. LuLa doesn't seem the right fit for you sir.

And yet by your own admission, you were banned for doing just that, for writing "f..k off"

You wish.

Once in 13,000+ posts. Nobody is perfect. I was guilty and accepted the punishment without complaint.

[digitaldog]

You wish.

Another assumption from your keyboard. I rather enjoy illustrating your misunderstandings of color and outlining the posted hypocrisy.   

I was guilty and accepted the punishment without complaint.

Seems that's exactly what you did today on top of telling us how egregious the use of F**K is while admitting you told someone to "f..k off" which is perhaps what you're now thinking.
Enough said, you're not doing your readers any favors by showing your various states of mind, opinions and assumptions. IF you're so upset by the subject title, do let the mod's know; you're just wasting your time and theirs.

It would be my pleasure and honor, Sir, to be banned once again for interacting with you in a similar fashion.

First law on holes - when you're deep in one, stop digging!
But sure, go for it, show additional hypocrisy. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by you fulfilling the above promise.   

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

... But sure, go for it...

No need, I already did, without using a single profanity.

No, you didn't. But this is getting rather pointless, you've been called out and the hypocrisy was outlined. You made a promise you didn't keep. Really, the DPR forums are a perfect fit for you. 

[Jeremy Roussak]

Enough.
