This is just awful! Some people are so sick! I hope Elfwood can come back and sure hope they try to find the ones who did the threatening.

This truly is disturbing, but you must realize that these 'death' threats are probably from a couple of 13 year olds that don't have much else to do than post 'crap' and send harrassing emails! I hope the ERB crew can track these people down and have them dealt with properly!!

This has grieved me more than I can say.
What is up with the danged art community on the Internet???? Forcing sites to shut down, harrassment? It's ART, people!!! The Internet was originally envisioned to be a place where people could come to share information and ideas in a free-form environment. In the world we live in, I guess, that is virtually impossible. With a few exceptions (such as Ironworks), I would dub the "Internet experiment" as a dismal failure, killed by the cruelty of mankind. Pretty soon there will be nothing left but corporate "billboard" sites and sex rooms. Ridiculous! |

Well, Thomas was threatened because he removed art, not showcased it. Someone was showing art that was against policy, so it was removed. Then whoever knows the artist that had his certain works removed threatened Thomas with bodily harm.
Thomas is a good guy, but he doesn't put up with crap like that, and frankly neither would I. This was his only logical move. I agree with your points though, it is rediculous. Grand experiement indeed. |

That was one of the first sites I ever went to on the net.
Whoever sent those threats can bloody well feel DAMN proud! They've just spoilt a whole community's worth of work! I hope it doesn't get to the extent of permenant shutdown. ------------------ |
