You all need to stop, now. This is an art forum, talk about art. If you have criticism, make it constructive. If you have an issue with the way a member is treating you, drop me a PM personally. I don't post as much but I do check the forums. I will handle the offending member. There is no need to spam up a thread with this garbage.
Sleep, try being the OPPOSITE of abrasive. You catch more flies with honey. Please don't make your first post an inflammatory one and then expect respect in return. The internet isn't an excuse to use bad manners. You have some people skills, use them. It doesn't require a rocket scientist to see you were in the wrong here. Learn from it and move on, I'm sure you'll be a productive member yet.
And yes, I know this entire post is a bit patronizing, but I feel like I need to act like a parent when everyone degenerates into children.
