!!!!READ THIS BEFORE VOTING!!!!

In case anyone missed it, there is a disclaimer that your screen name will show up when you vote.......so don't vote one thing and post the opposite, unless you want to get 'called out'!!


Taking down the ratings system might not be as easy as 'flipping a switch'........I think that I remember the last time this all came to a head (when Dave was frustrated at someone targeting him)....if I remember correctly, it's $$$ to make that change......and I do remember Hammerfel saying that if people wanted to 'start a fund', he'd maybe consider it..........

Just some food for thought.........

I hear and understand both sides of this debate......really I do. As a regular poster myself, when someone gets p*ssed off at me or a descision that I make, I find it funny that I go back and see some of my better pics get 'downgraded' as the person(s) who are mad at me try to 'get me back'...........

I won't say that it doesn't offend me, but I also know that it's the childish tantrum of an infant trapped in a supposedly adult body........and I let it go.

Life's too short, I can't worry about making everyone happy.......I post my creativity here for others to see and enjoy and learn from because I want to........
It's the same reason that I agreed to monitor this board.......I have a love for this line.....and I can finally share my talents with like-minded individuals (for the most part). I don't get the cascades of adoration or references that others do, but still, I don't take it to heart as much as people who are trying to 'stick it to me' would like........

I will continue to post up my pictures until I don't want to anymore..........it's between you and your conscience how you rate them.

Thanks for your time,

GS
