Yorick - for once, don't be a smartass ok? It's the last thing we need.

Why do you imply hatred?

Is it any wonder I keep hearing that I have a bad reputation?

And some people try to say I bring it on myself (the long closed thread)...but truth is, people jump my case due to assumptions of some hatred I harbor for people or something. Why?

OUCH! Friendly fire! Own goal!

I thought I was being rather conciliatory myself.

So this woman -who fancies herself a crusader for artists and all portraits site are 'illegal' to her, wrote several artists saying I had stolen art, even wrote artists I had permission from and misrepresented copyright law to them so they threatened to sue PBG, and me. So I got shut down and Iago and Havak (though Havak is back up now)
Rimshots plan is to kill all portaits sites them put his up as the ONLY portraits site and with artists permission so he could look like some big upstanding guy who 'cares about artists and their rights' ect
But we are breaking no laws, we fall under fair use, as we only use partial of the original art, and we are non profit nor do we take away from an artists profit (Ken did a ton of research on this)
its a messed up nasty situation
I don't know why someone would want to destroy all of our sites
rather odd
plus this Rimshot guy emailed Silverdawn from PBG and said it 'was disturbing that I got hosted by PBG & got a forum"
Ends up he was mad cause he didn't get hosted
What a chaotic place the net is....
You know what? I think I got an email from them too, here is what I got:

>name = fred jarred

>choices = Comments
>which_game = Baldur's Gate I
>comment = You assholes, you scanned the images from the original ad&d books
and put them here on your stupid site, i`ll sue you gay guys. how dare you do
this stuff you mother f$^@&%@ers wait for another letter .


Know this 'guy'??

Lady Nightshade, I can't say I understand, because it hasn't happened to me. Sounds like shit though - I'd hate to have to go through with it. We're all allowed our rants, as long as we can all make up and let bygones be bygones.

Just remember that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Don't worry about Rimshot and Foxfrost and their petty games. The gamers will ultimately decide. Besides, your site is back up!!! Yaaay!

I deal with this sometimes - not hatred, but overly strong opinions voiced through the written word. Written language can come across harder and angrier than spoken, because we have no inflections or tones like sarcasm.

Ken, drop it. Maybe you don't think what you typed was rude but everybody else did.
