The sucky part is that the SC argued with you when you explained your position. SC is stupid too, of course, but definitely sucky. Sure, if someone can find a children's toy or a dog/cat/ferret/other pet toy that is a bit more expensive but holds together better, pay a little more, but it should still be designed for the child or pet who will be using it!

Quoth bankworking View PostYou could always lie. "Yeah, one of my friends talked me into trying that a few years ago. I spent so much time on making them, and then not a single one sold. So now I concentrate on making the products that people actually buy from me."
Also, further conversation with this person keeps getting weirder and weirder. In response to a second explanation that toy balls really were a bad idea, they explained that they suggested it because they didn't know what a Loonakit plush was, or what they were for.
So... "I have no idea what this is" apparently results in "I know, I'll make up something and tell the person who knows everything about it what to do!"
I told them that if they didn't know, they could just have asked. Then I explained what a Loonakit was. Including (I thought) making it clear that Loonakit was MY term for this kind of thing, I actually said "Lots of people make round plushes but they call them other things, it's only a Loonakit if it's made by me."
And they responded by saying that they'd made a Loonakit once, because they'd made a round plush.
I think I'm done talking now, the conversation is getting too stupid even for me! And I'm used to talking to stupid!The best advice is this: Don't take advice and don't give advice. ~Author Unknown

Quoth spark View Post(I'm sorry I keep ranting about stupid stuff that's not actually that sucky here. :P )
"I recommend that this unique work of art be violently destroyed."
Hrm. No, that sounds very, very sucky to me. Especially said to the artist.
I perceive nothing to apologise for.Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

A dog toy
Even assuming a person has more money than sense and wants to spend large amounts for something their little Fido will love no more than the $tree version and destroy in five minutes, it's just wrong. You don't give hand-made, specially created, fussed over and lovingly made hand-crafted art items to a dog
My Dad was a wood carver. We're talking beautiful, lifelike hand carved animals & figures. Art gallery quality, though he never sold them that way. One year our town had some sort of celebration for reaching a certain age. Way back when, it had some horse drawn trolleys. For our church's exhibit at the big festival, my Dad made a detailed working model of that - carved the horses, made the trolleys out of balsa wood. Very intricate, took him weeks.
Everyone loved it. After the festival, did our minister display it proudly in the church, give it to the town museum, or just give it back to my Dad? Nope. He let his two young sons play with it til it was destroyed. I don't think I've ever seen my Dad so crushed, it was a blatant insult to his talent.
And giving your little critters to a dog would be the same.
Madness takes it's toll....
Please have exact change ready.
