Ron, Why should Legume's personal philosophic viewpoints or opinions determine if he should be artist of the month or not? Just because his viewpoints may be a bit abrasive to your sensitive personality, doesn't change the following facts... 1.)One everyone is entitled to have a viewpoint. Which you, for better or worse, proudly display on a regular basis, I might add... 2.)Legume should be allowed the same ability to voice those viewpoints, same as anyone else, like you, for better or worse, prominately display on a regular basis, I might add... 3.)Enough of the members on this site voted for him, speaking their own opinion and viewpoints about the good Doctor, opinions and viewpoints which the owners had to take into consideration, much like they have to take your, for better or worse, opinions and viewpoints into consideration as well, I might add... All of that leads to the fact that no matter what your personal feelings are about Legume, your viewpoint and opinion didn't measure up to the support and demand of our current Artist of the Month... As for your reason for not liking Legume because he, as you said, "doesn't really seem to care about anyone who opposes him", I find this to be a laughable excuse on your behalf... Why, you may ask...? Simple, why in the HELL should he give a rat's ass about the people that oppose him? Think about your logic for a moment... doesn't this mean that you really care about all of the people that oppose your viewpoint? I can name a few people that you've really had a tussle with earlier this week because they "opposed" you... you telling me that in your beration of that certain individual (who's name I won't mention, but his initials are: "DENDRAS"!!!), you actually cared about that person's viewpoint even though he opposed your's? Hmmmm... I really don't think so, or you did an excellent job of covering it up by being abusive, callous, egotistical to the point of downright nastiness and pissed and moaned... Gee, sounds like you have MORE in COMMON with the good Doctor Legume than you thought you did. I am so sick of some people here, for those individuals that have been so nasty to Legume and to others who are members of this "Community" whether anyone likes it or not. I guess for them it seems to make more sense to be pathetic enough to point fingers, piss and moan and running to Admins anytime their over-inflated sensitive egos or fragile narrow minds are offended or threatened in this "Community"... than to sit there, shrug and move on with their own lives and avoid or ignore the crap that makes them into whiney school yard children. I may not always agree with Legume or be fond of some of his work. But, one thing I can say about Legume is that he is an unique individual. He tolerates the shit people throws his way. He doesn't piss and moan or whine to the admins if he gets a ONE or a NASTY comment in his gallery. He doesn't make public posts flaming individuals, calling them names, swearing at them, send them hate mail or Private Messages... he takes it, like a man, shrugs and continues doing his own thing... if anything, Legume is far better than allot of individuals in this "Community". And that... that is pretty sad, people... Of course that is just my viewpoint and if you oppose it, well tough shit, I could care less also!! Jack
