Hi Matt, and others!

I quote: "Also, I think you were out of line naming him, Eveline. No matter what your intentions were you have no doubt cast more suspicion on this person from people who didn't even know who it was before. Until he chooses to step forward and explain/defend himself he should have remained anonymous."

I totally disagree with you!*
First I knew that it was true ( the IM's) because Arend himself told me about it, plus the problems that came from them...Friends talk about this kind of things, and he felt terribly awkward about it, especially when his English is so poorly!
Second: I got sick and tired of the " Mr. Nasty" pogrom conducted on this forum, while everybody concerned knew EXACTLY who it was!

So stop telling ME all the time that I am the one that acted wrongly by taking it up for my friend! Especially when YOU admit you did not know anything about this incident in the first place.....

I do, however agree with you on the poularity topic, that for me has been not very intersting in a long time, as I know that most people do not see the quality of my images anyhow, and I am very happy with people commenting who did not miss, but enjoyed what I made;-))))))

But anyhow, I do not feel I have done anything wrong here, at least I tried to help things clear up, which is more than can be said about most of you!

It is always very easy to try to cut off the head of someone that sticks it out for some reason or other...But that also is part of the same group politics that I loathe so much!

I do not have, nor is it my intention to make trouble for anyone posting here, quite the contrary...If you had read my posts really well, and tried to understand in stead of looking for someting to antagonize about, you would have seen that my aim is balance and harmony!

Harmony and respect, Eveline
