Yeah, Legume is so powerful that all the Renderosity community shakes at the sight of him. It would make great sense to draw as much attention to him as possible in order to keep him from being AOY--because, of course, everyone was educated in the school of the Three Stooges. Not buying it. Makes no sense. Legume enjoys attention. He likes to stir up controversy. He posts what he wants to post whether messages or graphics. He hasn't been censored any more than anyone else on this site, maybe a little bit less (because he is big bad Legume?), and he promotes himself without restriction. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it...his stuff doesn't interest me but I know a lot of people find him a great wit and a talented artist. I'm no artist...I won't argue that point. But is this a person I'd make a clumsy attempt to keep out of AOY in order to bring him even more attention?....I don't think so. Not unless I had a lobotomy. I think you're sincere in your conspiracy theory. I don't doubt your passion for a second. Legume is lucky to inspire such advocacy. But do I believe it? No. It just doesn't hold up as an idea for me. I'd need more proof than what you just offered to buy into such nonsense. People make mistakes and in trying to correct their mistakes, they often make them larger rather than smaller. In this case, human stupidity seems a more likely culprit than the conspiracy theory just set down before me. That's my opinion, worth nothing on these forums, and I'm going back to Dr. Geep's class because that makes more sense than anything I just read. Yeah, I deleted the first one and reposted. Spell check, this place needs spell check.
