That is definitely true about your situation there in Israel. I wonder how many people in this thread actually did anything about this once they found out, though? I like the reply from William_the_Bloody, though. I too thought that CrazyDawgs request to have the thread removed was a little much. What really ticks me off is that I was IM'ing CrazyDwag about possible solutions to this problem before any of these other people posted to this forum, yet I don't give a dam about my own work. And how does Dale know how many artists let or don't let this sort of thing slide? Does he know them all? Yeh, right.

I can only give advice based on my OWN experiences and nothing more. That is the best that anyone can do, period!  If I have been dealt a crappy hand over this same issue before I am NOT going to tell CrazyDawg something I don't believe. If I did I would be lying to him. But don't let that stop some people. I didn't attack CrazyDawg for his post. I was polite and even thanked him for the warning. I wasn't rude to him, either. I just gave him my take on this COMMONLY OCCURING issue. How dare I do that. So Dale_B, SoulTaker and JenX... should I lie to this guy? Tell him something I don't believe? Is that your idea of an appropriate response?

Oh, and just incase JenX and Dale_b  say they were not rude; if you support a person speaking rudely without first dismissing his rudeness, you support that rudeness as well as his point of view. Definitely not a good thing for a forum moderator to do. You should have advised to keep this thread friendly but you didn't. thanks. That is all I am going to say about this and I am done with this thread.
