Woah There:huh:

Remember the purpose of this thread.  It doesn't really matter if a person has a gallery or not (you can look at and comment on art without being an artist - and NO I DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT IS AND ISN'T ART:glare:), It doesn't matter if you like an image or hate it, and it doesn't matter if you're a person who can only seek positive comments.

For the most part I agree with Sam, hawkfyr, and Nancy.  Some of the early lessons we were taught at Emily Carr (Art College) was that if you couldn't take a critique you shouldn't be there - If you want controversy you'd better be able to back up your work (otherwise you deserve to get a strip ripped off of you), and you need to realize that while your image is in a public venue, you have no further control over it.

I'm not asking or wanting a "world of fluffy bunnies" (I only have so much gravol). My reasons for posting images is to get feedback from my fellow posters.  If I didn't want to have any negative comments I wouldn't even bother posting in the first place.  What I would LIKE is to find out if there is a general will of the members of this community to establish a level of etiquate (please pardon any spelling errors I may have made) where an artist gets critiqued instead of criticized (by the way I do live within this reality) or maybe see if any of you know of a better posting community.
