"I think the goal has to be to make this a place where the majority of the people feel comfortable and know they will not be subjected to insults or foul language just for having an opinion or question." The funny thing about the above is that this is exactly what this place was like until recent events - caused primarily by Edgenet's actions - drove many highly respected contributing members out of here and left the majority of the remainder feeling outraged and deeply disturbed by the affair. I had no intention of getting involved in any of this, nor am I an ardent Jack/Ed, Willow/Grey loyalist and until very recently I had no views on either Edgenet or its management, but the unfolding events and the treatment meted out to genuinely upset members of this site have left me deeply sceptical about Edgenet's ethics and motivation. Simply put while the jury is still out a finding is rapidly nearing a conclusion. As long as Edgenet management have a direct input into the editorial content of this site it is unlikely to become again a credible site for Artists(particularly considering the primary importance of the Forums). Please do not consider this and the above an attack on you personally but I do not think you can continue to wear both Edgenet's Commercial and Renderosity's Editorial cap and not be subjected to continued ethical and credibility questioning. Similar conflicts of interests between editorial and management/owner inputs exist in the media and they have only been resolved by allowing complete and transparent independent editorial freedom. It is for this reason the Government and Judicial functions in most democracies are also independent of each other. "There certainly are Jackites in the mix that will cause trouble for any reason and we have attempted to even let their voices be heard as long as it didn't become personal attacks or vulgarities. Time will tell whether this was a wise decision". I am glad to see that you at least are aware of the huge inherent dangers of censorship, let me advise you should you ever introduce it in any significant way you will effectively be damming any remaining credibility here and quite possibly signing Renderosity's closure notice IMHO. Speaking of which it is now 12 hours since I posted an opinion/question on the front page under "Renderosity breaks 29,000 members mark." When I submitted it I was informed it would have to be reviewed first before appearing. Where is it please? It was a simple question, one which any businessman or journalist might ask given the claim. It was: "Can you back this claim up with certified and independently audited figures?" Most businesses and media businesses can back up their circulation and sales figures claims, can Edgenet? As someone currently in the process of building a major 3D Graphics business I have a commercial interest in this, as I am sure have other businesses reading these Forums. Regards and no personal attack intended. STORM
