Tim --

I'm at least as much of a right-wing conservative as you are -- and I am very outspoken about that fact at times.  So in that sense -- I am your ally.  But I can honestly say that I've never experienced the type of 'anti-conservative bias' that you have referred to from the admins on this site.  Admittedly, I've never posted anything overtly political in the galleries.  But if I were to ever do so: I don't believe that I would be singled out for that reason.  Not without some sort of other underlying issues involved.

In my experience, the mods/admins/staff that run this site all come from an extremely broad spectrum of different types of backgrounds -- political and otherwise.  This website is a community built mostly around the theme of 3D artwork.  It's not designed to be a place like www.townhall.com.  On townhall.com, pretty much everyone there would (for the most part) agree with me.  But around here, they don't always.  shrug  I'm not a dedicated regular here because I want be constantly fighting over politics.......I'm here because I enjoy working, playing & learning in 3D.  At Renderosity, that's what we do.

My advice: work with the mods.  Don't immediately take the point of view that they are "the ENEMY!".  Talk with them -- in a calm and reasonable manner.  I believe that you'll find that they are calm and reasonable people.  That's always been my experience.

If a mod happens to make a decision that I don't like (and they occasionally do) -- then frankly, it's no skin off of my nose.  Speaking for myself: it would take a lot to get me worked up.  And even then: I wouldn't push the matter beyond the point of complaint........and into the territory of a constant and on-going obsession.

I hope that you can come to enjoy your visits here someday.  This place needs more conservatives.  Keeps 'em honest.
