::smiles and stands up, taps his baseball bat on his heels and steps up to the plate:: Okay doll, you asked for it... Your whole arguement is tied together by your disapproval of Legume, saying that he has in your words: "dedicated himself to trying to destroy the community" and that his artwork isn't up to par with your expectations... Just for the record Missy, Legume is responisble for this Community here on your precious little Renderosity. If not for his hard work and dedication to this Community, to Steve Cooper and Curious Labs, you wouldn't have a Renderosity to come too... so please get your nose out of the air and the stick out of your ass!! For the record, I'd be bitching about this even if Legume wasn't a part of this or had been one of the AOY nominees. Hell, I'd defend it even if your stock artwork had been up for this award. This site is meant to revolve around the Community and last I friggen looked Legume was a member of this Community, just like you. The removal of this contest from the people that make up this site, voids any kind of feeling of Community and only futher installs a sense of Big Business. This Community has the right to vote whomever they feel is worthy of AOM or AOY, be it Legume, Toxicangel or your crap... And as a Community we have a right to know why our vote doesn't count or isn't important. Your whole assertation of this situation is that this AOY contest was indeed voided because of Legume, so if you are arguing on defense of Renderosity's PTB, you are doing a real fine job of painting them out to be just as narrow minded as you and as discriminating. Good work!! Take a bow, sit down now and shut up! ::nods to everyone and goes back to sit down till its his turn up at bat again:: Jack
