Hello. I have been ernestly and excitedly following this forum since I learned about it only a couple weeks ago, and have already developed such a heart for the people I've met here on the photography forum. I've been inspired by the words and photographic work that I've seen. I've been anticipating a long, valuable relationship in this online community. I've never been to the Complaint & Debate forum before today. What I saw today was discusting. ..And, hey, I've been around, and I don't easily blush, OK? I really don't know what exactly Slynk is talking about, but I just saw some rediculus, psudo-intellectual ecclectic drivel; some kind of obcene, childish limrick of some sort; and to top-it-off, a thread complaining that somehow the guts had been ripped out of their beloved forum, and it's some kind of shell of what it used to be [see "where's the beef"]. Is this voilence to my sensibilities and intellect 'toned down' somehow? I may decide to try to forget all about my experience tonight, and try to go on with what I truly thought was some kind of landmark in my life, and my goals to become an artist. But I think it will still bother me that as a member of this COMMUNITY, I apperently DON'T have a voice to influence ethic, because where would I go to COMPLIAN?? It looks like the fox is in charge of the chicken coop.
