"Kawecki said, "In some places S--t rolls uphill." That is a rather vague statement, and also contrary to established knowledge regarding the physics of s--t and its interactions with hills. I trust you have the calculations to prove this theory?" Uh, this is a concept called "humor". It is meant to make others laugh. Is this concept foreign to you?

"In some places S--t rolls uphill. " It's called parenthood.

The crap starts from the top. You know the old saying" S--t rolls downhill".

Khai, just curious, are you an attorney?

" Kudos to Angel1 for handling this in a professional and pleasant manner! " You are lucky. My experience was less than this.

I can only imagine what the mods have said about me after they've had to "deal" with me. I would say, but that would only get me in trouble....again.

As far as I'm concerned, this is open for discussion. My biggest concern is getting kicked out of this site. I still enjoy a lot of the art here, and when I first became a member, I contributed to the MP and with freebies. That ended when one of the mods decided she did not like me or my work or my opinion and pulled them. That is why I do not post anything here, anymore. I don't know where the line is for me. It appears to be different for those with different views, meaning there is a double standard.

As for tedz, I have nothing against him or his work. I just wanted to know if it was a violation of TOS. I'm sure it would have been if I had posted it. Then, Mr. z over-reacted and the name calling in his gallery began. People were furious, and all I did was ask an honest question. Now, I'm being accused of "to publicly set the kettles of hot oil stirring." NOT TRUE. I have never seen a site where this goes on. I find it truly amazing.

shinyary2, I have thought about it, please do not infer that I haven't. If you see no bias, your eyes are closed. I am not the only one that feels this way. I have heard from a number of members who feel that way. You don't have to agree with me, but please don't imply I am thoughtless because I don't see things your way. As for tedz's image, let me explain. I detest child molesters, so I would never defend one. It is plausible, whether you beleive it or not, that tedz made that image as a dig towards Christians. I just asked for a claification of what is allowed and what is not. You see, I have seen images posted that slam certain views and opinions, and when I responded in kind, my images were pulled while those of opposing views were left imtact. UNFAIR. Please don't preach to me, because you do not know me and have no idea who I am. I think it is grossly unfair for anyone here to pass judgement on me. NONE of you know me, but feel qualified to call me names. I have been called names here, not by you but by others. Why is there so much hate here? If you don't see it, then open your eyes. Why is it OK for the european/liberal view to be accepted and not any other? Why do some of us feel unwelcome here? Maybe it's not us. I realize that after the trouble I have been in here, for my views, will make it easy for the PTB to boot me out. I am running a risk by even speaking up at all. Oh well. If I am unwelcome, just tell me. I do not hate anyone here. I have friends who have different view than I do. I am not a bigot or zealot, but I have been accused of all these things. So maybe you don't see it, but until you are in someone else's shoes, maybe you shouldn't pass judgement on them.

hauksdottir, one should be careful about making accusations, especially when one is one who started all this many months ago. Your obvious bias against America and Christians is not an admirable trait. But you have lots of company here at this site, and the rules are enforced with that bias in mind. I have heard from other members who feel the same way. As long as there are members who feel this way, you will have hard feeling. Maybe you and the others should examine your own feelings and actions.

I would rather post them here, if that's ok. I don't feel very trusting of private messages.

Thanks for the "clarification". Back to silence. As you were.

Thanks, but I'm out of here. The owner doesn't care about his members and neither do his employees. So long.

XENOPHONZ, thanks for your reply. I appreciate your explanation, but as someone who has tried very hard to be a productive part of this community, and then treated as if I am a child, I think I'm done here. Management has made no attempt to respond to my questions, other than the mod who stands by her actions. I've spent money here, but no more. I have posted the best of what I have created, but no more. I am new to art, and found that many of the folks here are very friendly and nice, but a few are jerks (that will get me in trouble again, oh well). Mods here don't want real comments, they want fluff. And they don't enforce the fluff rules evenly. I suspect the only reaction I will get will having this thread locked and/or my getting kicked out. If I sound bitter, I AM.

whatever.

Tedz, it's obvious you've not been on the receiving end of the mods. And I will take your comment about deleting galleries as the insult it was intended to be.
