Quote-There is a critique forum here- (so forth and so on)

Yep and that's the best place to make critique comments however the galleries themselves would only be a place for only positive remarks and ghastly tit for tat comment remarks. Almost worthless.

The best thing to do is put your art in a guarded place if you can't take the heat of "open to the public". If you do it for a living and a bad remark will cause you to lose money or stature then don't give anyone the opertunity to cut you down. Like Sam does.

As far as the artist that reported a comment of "that sucks" I hope I didn't say that(what picture was it I'll look? No don't tell me- I'm sorry!), but whoever did might have been in a bad mood or something. Cut 'em some slack it's the best thing to do(could have been drunk too). They may have felt bad about it later. Or not, who knows? No room here for vengance stalkers, wouldn't think so anyways.

Art is likely to bring out the best and the worst in people. The comment area is wide open to recieve it. People her post pics with some strong messages that are their personal opinion/beliefs/agenda advertisements to the public. Why can't others remark( agree or disagree) in a peaceful manner?

After this thread though I'll be less likely to comment anymore period. I realize it's too complicated and maybe dangerous if you don't know them and can trust them. Who knows anyone that well? Not me. Yet, I let it happen here. Maybe I shouldn't. Later
