| Sorry to have to tell you this...blah blah blah...Yeah, right...I bet you're sorry. Instead of being an attention *****, take it up with the admins if you feel you need to be Mr. Skin Policeman. |
the "blah blah blah" you so conveniently removed, was the fact that I respect his work. and I
was sorry to have to bring to thier attention the apparent rip by this obviously well know and respect artist.
and I wasnt after attention, quite the opposite. I just had no where else to post this information.
I would have gone to an Admin or to Dark Mist himself, had I know that that was the proper procedure. In my defense, there are no 'rules' for indicating a suspected rip. I looked, I didnt find any. Maybe it's something for the admins to add, a small link at the bottom of every page, linking to someones e-mail addy, that way it can be anonymous and not as detrimental to the artist in question. All I saw were other posts about rips, I admit I didnt read them, I didn't feel I needed to, I was never under the impression that this was going to start a witch hunt. I was just merely pointing out that the image on the screen was not an original. If Dark Mist had said in his comments that it was not an original, that it was merely an edited version of an image he gathered from somewhere else, I never would have started this whole thing, I would have accepted it and moved on. I do appologize to Dark Mist for starting this 'witch hunt' and appreciate him not holding any grudges towards me. Next time I notice a rip I will certainly be more descrete about it. But the admins should put a notice somewhere on the site, letting the users know the proper way to handle these situations so people like me, who do not paruse the boards that often (or at all), will know how to react to this kind of situation.
Again, my appologies.
