You know what? I have to go to my heart and question why I vote or comment. I am seeing both sides now, and I am asking myself what is most important. I reflect on the quotation, "..to thine own self be true.." Would you rather have a few sincere people admiring your work, or a mass of obligated comments? If I stopped all of "the game" then I know that C.I. is right...but that IS how it played...I have just formed some friendships and I really don't want to hurt anyone. After all, isn't life a game? I hate it, but it's true. I just hate that commenting and thanking and trying to see everyones work sometimes becomes a chore, and not fun any more. It wasn't like that when I started here. What happened?
