Like many others, I pulled my gallery in a dispute with the asinine TOS.
There is a thread, about a year old, in which a very good artist (as distinguished from, say, me) begins by defending the TOS, gets a bit crosswise of it after it is "explained" to him, asks for more information and in return learns even more about its silliness, makes an observation that gets a reprimand, attempts to reason with the PTBs, throws his hands in the air and pulls his gallery, never to be heard from again. If we hadn't lost a good artist (I bet he wasn't earning R'osity a nickel though, the deadbeat), it would have been nearly comical.
Something similar happened involving a merchant who said, a couple of times in the negotiations, "You gotta be kidding." It seems that the PTB do have one or two priniciples that trump making money on the doo-doo, though I've never been able to figure out what they are.
I would no more post "art" here than I would scotchtape it to the walls of a public restroom. But that's just me....
