Well...I don't know in what countries other members live, but where I live we have such things as free speech or equal rights. I actually think this is a good idea and that this is the way the internet should work too. Wether one thinks he's an artist, a lawyer, a critic or a hamster - we should not care, he should be entitled to express his opinion just like everyone else. If we don't agree with his opinion, we offer our own opinion, but we should treat him with the same respect we expect to be treated. If, for any reason, you should meet someone who's you cannot respect for some reason: Don't bother with him, you've got better things to do. Anyhow - how come someone giving comments to other people's work gets to read personal insults, where people asking for warez get the funniest answers ever? After all, this is an open community and we should welcome everyone who's playing by our rules. Warez people don't, but critics do. Getting comments from people who don't know Poser is a huge advantage IMO. They are the ones capable of thinking outside the box, where Poser users themselves tend to think "nice textures, I'd love to know what Vicky morph that is, where'd he get that nice sword and temple from?" while not paying attention wether the image as a whole is able to express the artist's message. I for one love hearing comments on my renderings from a friend who's a photographer as he's paying attention to details I'd never think about. Listening to outside opinions is, IMO, a way of opening your mind.
