Again and for the last time:

I apologize that my comments are being pulled in "nasty forum" directions.

My suggestion to this forum was that *I would like the opportunity, after carefully researching, emailing, etc., to opt out of being on someones favorite list that DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE to the community in any way shape or form.

Key word here is NEVER CONTRIBUTED in any way shape or form.  With all due respect to all artists that live busy lives, myself included, I do at least make a comment on those on my favorite list, and there is a comment REASON on my favorite artist list.

The three I went to today that so kindly added me, were blank pages, no contributions, no comments on why they "favorite" an artist, just hundreds of names.

Of the 7 others, multiple attempts to thank them and generate a dialog of artistic interest has left me with no response.

I would like the choice to make that decision based on very thorough investigation for myself.  If I feel uncomfortable, let me have the option.

Asking for your thoughts was merely to ask how you feel, I already know how I feel about it and wondered if the option could be made available.

I think I have pretty much made my personal feelings about this known, and cross my fingers that option some day is made available.  

Thanks for  your response gellenburg,  this is why we live in the land of the free, I don't have to agree, and I can still respect you for your beliefs.

Peace out, I am done, I made my thoughts known, I don't have to defend them, after all...it was just a suggestion. 
 

Namaste...it's universal  [ =
