Aye, screw the Hot 20. It's rigged with an open door for idiocy, and although I love each of the other 19 images there AND their creators, there's a FLIP side to this coin. What if someobody slamming you is NOT Black Unicorn, when you were certain that it was? I recently made an "enemy", somehow, by being too blunt in a critique. It came back on me, as I accused this person of being another Black Unicorn clone. When this person replied with intelligence, it proved to me that it was in fact NOT Black Unicorn. And that I was wrong. And I went back to delete my too-blunt comment to find that this person, who has been posting for years, has taken down their ENTIRE gallery. We have lost a potential teacher and a good artist, whatever level he may be on, because I was foolish. The flip side to THAT is that if this person who is NOT Black Unicorn is so weak as to take down their gallery based off of some text that I input-ed; If they are too weak of character to ignore the likes of me, then they deserve to smoke themselves in this manner. His loss, not mine. Still, Unicorn is a specific person and event, according to the TOS he should have been banned. Perhaps I should be banned for inadvertently smoking another artist, but I had no intentions of degrading this person, merely offering blunt advice about the maturity of an image. There is no RIGHT, only POWER. I think Black Unicorn needs to go, or go to the beginner gallery, although I'd not wish his violent "tongue" on them either.
