it's late here. and i'm reading this thread for the first time. first of all, i support blackhearted. he's a good merchant, a fine artist, and in my dealings with him, a decent person. i recall the controversy over the lights. as a new member and poser user, it was fascinating to see how the virtual community gathered and transparently "litigated" the issue. a third party brought forward detailed and conclusive evidence of theft. and the member was banned. the experience, while traumatic, was an amazing example of the resiliency of virtual communities of practice or interest.... (but i digress.) not knowing bebop, i've observed the postings by tisa - knowing the member only as a new contributor to renderosity - with some interest. some of tisa's images weren't so obscene. most, when done in poser, were either imaginative or purposely uninspired. which leads to two observations: 1) the publication of photo-manipulated images of women intentionally in the poser gallery with no attempt to clarify the false impression that they were created using poser - a fraud; 2) and this would include the nickname "tisa" or "teaser," the fairly obvious objective of tricking members into providing now-seemingly "uninformed" praise for the images - either for future ridicule or in order to goad those that had an inkling into posting negative comments or rants. this has been quite an experience. i'm not a professional artist - only a hobbyist. but it's been something. cheers!
