a. I've been a R'osity member for about two years, maybe more, I just delurked in February. I switched usernames when I did this and I have the e-mails with Clint to back that up. b. Tenure here means about, oh, nothing. Your above comment to Ron shows that even you accept this. Even trolls (or trawlers, hauk ; ) ) can have longevity. (no I'm not calling you a troll, Ron. c. orphea is not my pal, I know nothing about him/her. I don't understand why you feel gypped by this, you apparently put a lot of stock in number of views. Why, I don't know, because we've all seen that all it takes is a nipple. This whole thing smells of sour grapes. You admit to arrogance as if it's a sort of point of pride. That's a real red flag for me. It is, in fact, a failing. Pomposity is not a substitute for valor or integrity. Or talent for that matter. This whole thread is about you getting attention for whining about a trivial fault on orphea's part. It does not warrant a tirade, witch hunt or vendetta of this magnitude. It does maybe warrant a polite message to the effect of: "Hey, you know I noticed that when you usually post, it's to ask people to go to your gallery. Some people here will feel like your trying to con them out of a minute of their time." You trolled a relative newbie for wanting to fit in and be recognized. Way to go. There's a reputation builder for you.
