There are merchants who think I'm their worst enemy for shooing ads out of the Poser gallery and Poser forum, but they were wrong. Insisting that rules be followed isn't very popular, but it is fair. What you are doing isn't fair. It is mean. And I'm using the word in its original sense of ugly, little, petty, low, common, and vulgar. Mean. Urging people who may not have even purchased the item to rip and tear and shred... anonymously? Given the fervor in this community and all the clone accounts? And then publish the more colorful ones ***all*** simply to bring readers to your website? Do you really need the ego boosted that badly? I remember the hell that Ron Knights put x2000 through... deliberately... on Thanksgiving Day... and you want to institutionalize and praise and encourage and profit from such behavior? You will attract the same people who stare at burning houses hoping to see crisped bodies or who block the freeways by gawking at bloodied bodies in the wreckage. This will do nothing to improve the quality of items in the various marketplaces. This will do nothing to increase the quality and frequency of freestuff providers. What it will do is viciously tear into anybody who dares offer a product who doesn't appeal to your tender and refined and so very sophisticated tastes. I have better things to do than hang around reading your exalted opinions. This is one reader who is repelled by carrion eaters... others can circle waiting for the next victim. I'm doing a disservice to Dr Guillotine by mentioning him. He, at least, started with noble intentions, before matters got out of hand. You do not. Carolly
