Quote - Regardless of which way one feels about this recent episode

I am not interested in yet another figure so I didn't bother reading the thread being discussed; and I'm glad that I didn't bother to open it.  So it's only through "hear-say" that I know anything about the "recent episode", and I don't put much stock in "hear-say", so I remain neutral.

Quote - he has made many very valuable contributions to the whole Poser community over the past decade...I, for one, will not forget that fact.

Yes he has, and I won't either. He is a man that is a master of his craft.

Quote - Hopefully he'll find a way to stay in the game in the future.

Hopefully, because it would be a shame and a huge loss to the Poser community if he were to just up and quit and leave.  However, there is no mistaking that he has some serious damage control to do and some bridges to mend.

I hope he takes a break and takes stock of things and returns with a clear head and heart.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
