Jen, show me where I "disparaged" your picks in this thread. You can't do it or you would have already. What I did say was that I didn't care what Staff Picks were.

Quote - No offense to the staff, but I stopped caring what Staff Picks were a long time. 

 I have a right under the TOS to say that. It wasn't disparaging the artists you picked or even your choice, it was merely voicing that I didn't care what you guys picked because as you say, we do not share the same tastes.

Quote -  LostInSpaceman, no one's saying "you can't say whatever". 

 
But Jen, Ryus DID say basically just that! Ryus took it over the line to censorship when she said we could only post encouraging remarks and congratulations in the staff picks threads.

Quote - Lost, I'm going to state this one more time...when the Staff Picks thread is made it is NOT for critiques on the images this is to say Congrats to your fellow members that images were picked by the staff for that week.

 

I'm sorry but that's just plain out censorship and that is what I don't like about staff picks. That's why I call favoritism when you try telling people they can't voice their opinion in an open thread even if it's not against the TOS, it's apparently against somebody's personal choice for the thread and you've placed that choice above the TOS.  Do you see my point yet?

It's not about your choices being bad. It's about you guys saying these are what we find best and don't you dare contradict us.
