personally, I don't comment on anyones work, no matter who they are, unless I have a good reason to. I also don't give a hoot if i get a comment or not. Of course, if I do get a comment, constructive or just any old comment, I enjoy it...I don't feel threatened by anyone or any clique, if there is one...I tend to stay A-Political where all that is concerned... One thing about being an artist in general (of any sort) you have to develope a thick skin. I greatly appreciate technical and artistic suggestions/advice/experience that I have gotten privately or on the forum. That means more to me than anything else...getting better, evolving, moving forward, that is what is important. Worrying about what other people think subjectively is only going to eat you up inside... if you let it, that is...
