What a long standing discussion and each time the different types of artists come together on fractal definitions, differences, purism or not purism I learn new things. It's one of the things that I have always enjoyed about this forum. Explanations on how colouring within fractal generators work, insight into other artists preferences, drivers, creative processes... aside from some bits of frustration this is a pretty cool thread. It was not really so long ago that we did not have our own forum or gallery here! How excited we all were to get it! Why not have one rule? and have that rule called "inclusion" or "expansion"? Yes, that puts us back to the way we were before the rules. Arguments abounded back then too - approximately one good one every 4 to 6 months :) You cannot have a decent community without passionate discussions and differences! Especially an artistic/creative community. Is it not the passions and differences that help drive us? inspire us? light the proverbial fire under our butts? I really hate the thoughts of anyone turning their back on this community. There is so much here that is worthwhile! Lets celebrate and enjoy our differences.
