...but I'm definitely taking my gloves off.

I want to say that I'm absolutely sick of the miserable whinging complaining moaning bitching criticising prima donnas who're up their own arses about their art. They don't like the way the voting for the Hot 20 goes, if they're not in it.

Here's a nice quote from a recent thread:

"The problem here, Pumeco, was that you came in and tried to disrupt the way we work our art. You tried to tell everyone that YOUR WAY WAS THE BEST. Don't be so ignorant.

You show up in an ARTISTS community and immediately downgrade the way we work our medium, and expect a hero's welcome.

So when did you say you were leaving? I'll help you pack."

What kind of thing is that to say to anyone, someone who's done nothing criminal, just talked about a project he's working on?

If I was new to Bryce and saw all this muck-raking going on on Renderosity I'd be beating a hasty retreat to the Daz forum. Though it seems some people visit there to have extra pops at Pumeco, 'cos it isn't enough to insult and abuse him on just one forum......... Edit to add - what I have found so distressing recently is that it seems to me that what's been going on is form of collective bullying. Picking on a newcomer, or on someone perceived as an outsider, can be used as a way of bonding a group together. Pretty tough on the ones who've been chosen as the sacrificial victims, though. Get a f***ing life, and stop attacking people who've done nothing to you.
