I agree that harping on the subject does no one any good..but the sad fact remains, the loss of a member of the community due to community (in)action/apathy. I only wish there was some way to truly express the loss I feel & I hope that the entire community feels at Dendra's departure. fear this kind of situation will all too soon become the norm now that those unethical elements within the community see that any artistic endevour (file/graphic/etc...) that is placed online can be claimed, used, & stolen at whim without concern for any ethical or moral outrage, let alone an legal action. I can see from some of the reply posts why Dendras felt betrayed by those within this "community". A tidbit to think about: What fear has anyone so inclined to use or abuse anything acquired from this site, pay or free if the so-called community simply turns it's back & says "What did you expect?". Perhaps I was raised to respect the "ethically implied" rights of a creator or Artist. Then again, I was raised during a different time & even though I am only 30 yrs of age, the world has degereated severely in those 3 decades. I see where the censorship & heavy handed labelling seen as of late in the artistic community is coming from. Perhaps these thoughts are not DIRECTLY tied to this thread, but by the gods, I think each & everone of you that reads this should consider the consequences of this path.... I shall end my babbling here, as I am sure I have lost more then half the readers who started scanning this post. Til anon, well met... Thorneldrich
