Dear Dialyn: Hello, and thanks kindly for your comments.You have always been most helpful to me and all others in the past. For that, I once again say, 'thank you'. In no way am I saying someone is wrong in their choices. I am simply stating my humble opinion (and relaying those of many others said to me during my brief stay at this site). A short time ago, a topic was posted in the forum by a moderator/manager in this gallery asking for various inputs about the forum/ gallery and how to make it better and get more participation. I am going on the logical assumption that the posting was put up for that reason. I originally sent a private IM to a higher up here about my thoughts. It was shown as received by that person but no reply was ever given my way. Thus, the reason I decided to post those thoughts here at this time. It's quite obvious if one goes back and reads the history of the 'forum' post topics that there is primarily one group in it and another group primarily in the writer's gallery. My only purpose, kind soul, is to try to get some of the superbly talented peoples from each venue to meet somewhere in the proverbial middle to impart what they may have to offer the other. Obviously, no one can be, or should be, forced to do so. If it is to continue as mostly two, separate entities, that it will continue to do. I have been trying to ask, most respectfully, for quite some time, as to 'why' there seems to be this line of demarcation in the writers area at this wonderful site? It is not, nor has it ever been, my intention to put people on the defense. I'm sorry if I worded it as to make you or anyone else think such. My apologies. It is my sole intent and greatest wish that more of the talented souls here could give guidance to one another. I notice in the other various galleries at this site, much more communications between artists of different styles. It puzzles me as to why the writer's gallery seems so different? I do note that I point out to those in the writer's gallery that I speak with that there are many talented people in the writer's forum area, also. Does anyone have to do anything specific? Of course not. Would it help make the writer's gallery better if the forum and the gallery became more in sync? I feel, in my humble opinion, that it surely would increase the participatory level of the writer's area and the skill levels. Again, just my simple thoughts. Thanks kindly for allowing me to express them. MUCH appreciated. Peace to all. My best, TallPockets.
