I quite agree about an artist having to have a bit of a thickened skin to deal with customers/clients in the real world. Yes there are indeed nasty, small people out there as well. I have worked with some of them myself both as an artist and an engineer. I suppose I see renderosity as a club,a community group where we can come to share and perhaps help others as we ourselves have been helped. I suppose this is why I feel a bit betrayed if I see a flat-out trolling. This is not the real world, it is a place to learn and grow and a honest crit is a part of that process. Just waking up and pissing on a work is not. I feel that if you care enough to look, you should care enough to help if you can. Richard

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
