Has anyone noticed that the butt kissin clique hasnt posted a peep in this thread? I'm amazed it took anyone this long to notice the "desease" as you put it. I've been flamed to high heaven for even daring to critique a clique members post. Everytime this pack of loyal, but less than bright, hounds point out that the critics "only have one or two pictures in their gallery" or "are just jealous" or "have no talent" etc etc ad nauseum. Nice to be appreciated for providing constructive critisism. I am disgusted every day by posts with 50+ comments and 40+ rankings of flowery praise and lavish butt kissery for a image that at best is good. not excellent, not great, but good. The galleries are not a talent contest. lets get this straight right now. They are a popularity contest. nothing more, nothing less. The name gets the rankings and comments, not the "art". I'll keep posting my working and showing it off to my friends when they want to look. The clique hounds can keep their insincere comments for members of their circle. I prefer the honest critics thanks.
