Hi Deagol, It's a sad day for this community in particular and art in general. I am very much for a democratic society, but in this case majority rule made everyone a loser. :( Someone in this thread made a very salient point: we all want fractal art to gain legitimacy, and this is almost like ghettoizing it. Digital art itself has a long road to hoe, since there are just as many "purists" who think if you don't put brush to paper you're Satan's child and not a "true artist." This is just more of the same flat-earther thinking. I am very sorry to see it. But I must admit to being amused that my work is welcome, because it is in such flagrant violation of this rule. :)
