First on my mind is...

The off center submission I uploaded, I did have reservations on due to a basic element. During this challenge, for those that comment on that element I will be check marking as a good comment. I should of went with my gut feeling, but ignored it. Sorry for the waste of time.

Second on my mind is...

Sometimes when I am typing in a thread, posting, I sometimes tend to type the way I talk in real life. Therefore, I may say things that seem offensive, when in fact some of the adjectives I use are an abstract version of another word, I.E. crap=stuff.

Please, don't take offense at my language skills, I am who I am, and I really am a nice person, and don't mean to offend anyone in any way, shape, or manner.

Third, and last...

My work is average, at best, on this site. Please keep this in mind. I am not a Micheal Angelo, Divinchi, or Picasso. Again, I am who I am, and my work is a reflection of my experience, as is yours.

Any PM's I receive, I take with a grain of salt, and am happy to respond to any query's, but, again, my experience is a matter of fact, and when I critique a piece of work, I do so with the intent on focusing on the elements, and not on first impression.

So, understand, even though I have been in the motin pix biz, I have a clue on basics 'crap', but I am not a teacher, or a miracle maker. I too am in 'spring training', hoping that the 'biggies' will notice me someday and 'call me up' to play someday.

Thanks in advance.

I know how you feel man. In person, I feel I get my point across better, and am really a friendly, joking guy. But on the internet, I just always come across like I'm a dick.

Basically, I'm that guy where if in real life, someone says something like "my Cavalier will beat your f4i in a race" (and everyone knows they're joking), I'm like "no it won't, let's go race" -- I'm just kind of stupid -- and in-person, we all laugh about it, but on the internet, people just get offended as if I'm calling them out or something.

You mean you're NOT? jejejeĆ¢„Ā¢

As for Brother Horse, we give him leeway due to his ancestor status...

We need a DPC upgrade to Voice messages or critiques.

As a reminder, please do not post what could construed as inflammitory comments. Even if they are meant in jest, people may take them the wrong way.

AH - from what I've read thus far, you're delightful! Just the kind of guy I'd love to meet up with to sit and chat a spell... in a well-lit, public place with lots of people around, of course.

A rather sad comment that a post can simply be removed because some person finds it offensive....

I cannot speak for anyone else on this issue, but I am a fully grown man, and cannot believe that someone else can decide what I am capable of dealing with.

If I wanted to be the subject of censure, there are countless countries I could move to that would oblige... but I never thought I would find it here.

Just my two cents.

Well, I have no idea what was said, nor did I have anything to do with its removal or reporting the post.

That being said, we don't know that 'some person' found it offensive -- 30 people could have reported it, you don't know.

THAT may indeed be true........but if indeed such was the case,,, it would have proved beneficial to make mention of that fact... then I would not have had any complaint whatsover. However, in this instance the actions taken would tend to indicate that this was the unilateral actions of one individual........hence my problem.
