I have been a welcomed member here for only a short time. SH1.5 is the first computer game I have played. I did not read the forum rules when I signed up. This site has been an ongoing personal experience and lesson for me. I felt just fine at the beginning of my membership. As I read and learned I became aware of things that are way deeper and more meaningful than playing a game. A personal issue has been bothering me deeply since about two weeks into my membership, so much so I sent "Rockin Robbins" two "pm's" referencing the issue. I encourage Neal Stevens and the moderators to view them.
I have learned a real lesson in ethics. I read the forum rules for the 1st time a day or so after the "pm's" to Rockin Robbins. Since then I saw the good character, good will, and efforts by all of you here eminating nothing but the highest standards of morality in the support and defense of all what SUBSIM is and stands for, and for months I knew I was lacking severely. The long ongoing guilt has eaten at me constantly.
I uninstalled SH1.5 today, and burned in a real fire in my backyard the pirated copy I was playing with. I saved my mods and will be very quickly purchasing a legit copy to enjoy with full piece of mind.
I can't go on being a hippocrat with a guilty conscience. The display of character, morality, and genuine kindness on this site got to me in a personal way, and more deeply when I opened my SUBSIM gift from Neal today and looked at it.
Yes, I learned a lot from you here, mostly a deep and meaningful personal lesson. I know I learned this lesson because of what SUBSIM, and its members are.
I would rather see this thread stand alone without posts, as replys are not necessary. Inside everyones heart is a proper reply already stated and understood clearly by me.
In no way is this an effort to grandstand. I believe most know that. This is just me, and how I chose to deal with the most important thing I learned from SUBSIM, which "IS" all you great people. Thank-you for reading......Doug
