thats the best thing you can possibly do. i've been doing it for years. it's a lot better if you make up your own ID to fill out online forms with. the less info you freely give, the better. when all else fails ![]() |

Guys, I gotta correct you. If you're downloading software in exchange for personal information, giving false information is bearing false witness. It's a sin. You need to stop doing this. You don't have to read their advertising, but if you're entering into an agreement (software for info) and you want to be right by God, you need to answer truthfully. James says "You have not because you ask not, and when you ask, you ask that you can spend on your fleshly desires." How can God bless false witness? Do yourselves a favor and give your rightful name, or don't take the bait of free software. |

Jet, take it easy. I agree that honesty is very important as a Christian, even a commandment. I would suggest sharing your Godly wisdom with a more generous helping of gentleness. The platform of this forum is more geared toward encouragement than rebuke. Diplomacy is important, or you'll end up annoying everyone. ------------------ |

We could discuss whether it's "false witness" or perhaps "lying" but the difference is probably neither here nor there. Maybe it is wrong, maybe it isn't; I do know it is way too easy to get personal information about people, and not much control over how it's used. Should I ever plan on actually buying anything, I will then provide correct information as it means I'm entering into a real relationship with them. Someone asks me my name on the street in passing or perhaps at the sample counter at the local grocery store, I am not obliged to give my real name - or at least not my full name. Another twist is an online presence. I'm betting your name isn't Jetspice in the physical world. To most of the internet I *am* "NetCog". Though to assorted other corners I am assorted other names. For "NetCog's" purpose he has a specific "real" name. The location might be fudging it as I (NetCog) don't consider myself to be in NY. To continue down that train of thought - (video) games, movies, etc all could be considered "false witness" or at least "lying" by different filters of thought. Shoot...even sport teams could be lumped in. I'm offering this post here as a simple counter thought. I'd be willing to continue this discussion on another thread. If you want to start it, I'll copy this response to it. [This message has been edited by netcog (edited August 25, 2006).] |

I'm gonna stand with Jet on this one.
B)netcog, being honest isn't about giving your personal information to all who ask. Lying is about decieving. we all know your name really isn't netcog. you are decieving us. it's just a handle. ------------------ |

Couldn't you just unsubscribe to their mailing list? I know if you unsubscribe with spammers they will send you more emails. But Daz3D is a professional company. ------------------ [This message has been edited by lava (edited August 25, 2006).] |

arch - mmm, I'll review my stance. I think I might make a new thread, there's more I'd like to say. |

quote: I understand what you are saying, and partially agree with you. I've met Jet in real life, and he's a great guy. I found this portion of his statement "It's a sin. You need to stop doing this." a bit overstated, that's all. With so many varieties/flavors of Christianity represented here along with non-Christians and members of other religions, you can't assume that somebody will receive strong statements like these. ------------------ |

on one side, i hate internet advertisers. they are 90% liars who just want a click so they can cash out. if you give them your information, you're just giving them free money. some would say "but they're giving you free software!", what do you think "free" means? should the definition be "no money down, just your social security number"? from a safety aspect, should you REALLY be giving people exact instructions on how to get to your house and find you? on the other side, it IS lying to make up an identity, you DO bring up a good point there. even if they are a bunch of people trying to market your personal information without your consent, you should act based on how God wants you to, not on how other people treat you. |

In any event, I'm downloading Bryce 5.0. Thanks for the tip, coolj. Ahh, yet another tool that will rot in my ever growing collection. If they want to send me more credit card ads in the mail, so be it. I can use them in the fireplace to warm my house. ------------------ |

My apologies for the tone. If I type with a gentle thought or a smile on my face, it doesn't necessarily translate. Bearing false witness a sin, but I'm a sinner, too, in many ways. Yikes, I gotta stop sinning! The foundation from which I speak is to see the people of Christian coders accomplish the dreams that God has put in their heart. He has given us all the tools we need to succeed. As we run toward our calling, the only thing that can get in our way is ourselves. So this, to those who need to hear it: position yourself so that God can bless you. Give right information. Do things like pay taxes, destroy pirated software, install protection against pornography--do whatever it takes to get right. And then be blessed! And back on topic, I think I'll download Bryce 5.0, too! |
