"...let's all tolerate and celebrate our diversity! Or did that point get missed too?"

That was one of my points. The other was the knee jerk reaction the original poster had, lumping Poser users into a non-existant (in my opinion) category based on the type of render he was judging. I could render a naked vicki in a temple but the temple would be my model, the textures, hours worth of painting in Photoshop, and it would fall into the original posters "category" because it's a short sighted view of 3D. And there was a lot to get offended at in that thread. The attitude wasn't imagined as is evidenced by the reactions of the 20 posts before mine.

Personally, I have no "us verses them" issues because I use 2D in conjunction with 3D. Call it an attempt at enlightenment if you wish.
