"Truth is a hollow echo drowned in the roar of anger; flushing both into an abyss of confusion and despair." What is more important, finding someone to blame or finding some way to find a solution? I haven't posted any images, although I have made comments. I have enjoyed both the artwork and the sense of community in the reviews. I have always been able to respect the talent - or at least the effort, but now... ...now, I see very warm and creative and intelligent and witty people lash out at one another poisoning any possible strands of kinship. Does this help Jack and Ed? Does this hurt EdgeNet? Or does it serve little purpose other than to offend, exasperate and belittle? This is how a community becomes a parody. I think compassion and compromise are needed more than what I see being played out before me. In this way we all lose - regardless of who goes where. It seems a shame that so many who see themselves as builders of the community are so ready to tear it all down rather than continue to search for a better way. You comment because you care, so maybe a little more understanding and a little less anger will build bonds rather than break them. Call me naive if you want, but where there is a will, there can be found a way. My thoughts anyway...
