Oh, please. Do not even begin to be self-righteous with me, about doing your "best to assist back then" or anything else. "The right thing to do"? Says who? Are you now on the admin or moderator team here? The "white knight" and "wounded warrior" act has worn very thin with a lot of people, and I am not interested in your "crusade".

Walther's point about "THIS IS A HOBBYIST COMMUNITY, not a war zone." is absolutely spot on. This is supposed to be FUN, people! Not a matter of life and death, as some would have you believe. I do this stuff for fun and stress relief, and if someone bothers me or harrasses me, I report it. I have always had extremely good assistance from the admin and mod team here. If you've got a problem with the way Rendero is run, then LEAVE! Go somewhere else! Nobody is forcing anybody to stay here, post here, vote, rate, comment, or anything else! If someone is bugging you, hassling you, report it to the moderators and admins! We now have 2 mods here at Vue forum/gallery, Guitta has always responded very quickly when I've had a problem, and I'm sure Laurent will do the same.

I come here to look at artwork, see if folks like my images, find out what's new in the forums. I try to answer a question in the forum if I know the answer, and I ask questions when I need help with something. That's the meaning of community. My life is extremely stressful at the moment; I don't need more stress. Working on images and looking at others' work is a good de-stressor for me. I don't come here to create problems, hassle anyone, create clones, or anything like that. Folks who do that are just plain pathetic, imvho. So give the admins and mods the chance to do their jobs, and they will do it.

As for "head in the sand", I find that fairly humorous...gosh, must be because I have a life, lol!
