While I was not (quite) as offended by the picture itself as some, it was her level of rudeness and spite that got my ire up.
In fact, I did find three good things about the picture itself, but a larger number of flaws, both artistic and technical. I had been mentally composing a private IM with some tips that might have aided it, but then saw the venomous attack on Mindy and the others, and decided that such a person wouldn't want any suggestions from -anyone-. Even then, my first post was a calm reasonable response to answer the question fraktal_freak asked in the first post of this thread: "Why are people viewing but not commenting?". But it -seems- that getting that question answered was not the real reason Lisa posted here in the Forum, as every statement she makes thereafter shows vividly.

Oh, the three -good- points of the pic?

  1. The frame matched the coloration of the fractal.
    ] 2. She did use a fractal in a composited image. (I do give credit for the attempt--but not the result.)
  2. She did attempt to illustrate an idea--again, the results were lacking.
