Wow....what a time for me to join up....posted Jan 15th 2005, 7:35AM
Mood: Frustrated
I...think I'm a little disgusted by the current goings-on here.
I'm a big believer in the freedom of expression. I've never drawn adult arts myself, as I'm still just learning how to draw, *period*. However, I really liked the idea that I could have a little chunk of webspace, all my own, in which I could post whatever struck my fancy.
Granted, the makers and maintainers of SheezyArt have the right to do with *their* webspace whatever they see fit. I'm not arguing with that. It's their dime, after all.
But when you effectively eliminate one of the primary reasons a lot of SheezyArt members had for *joining* in the first place...
...it strikes me as being more than a bit like shooting yourself in the foot. I honestly think there were better ways to handle this (though, of course, it is human nature for one to believe we could make better secisions than those in charge).
A question: what is the point of having a safety feature incorporated into image viewing if it isn't sufficient to meet the (evidently rather stringent) standards of the webhost?
You may be asking yourself what my stake in all this is; after all, aside from citing some nebulous ideal about freedom of expression, if I don't post adult works myself, why would I care that it's no longer an option?
Because I feel more than a bit like I was offered a particular deal and then had it retracted. Because two of the people I signed on to *watch* in the first place have been banned; one for a length of time, the other for forever, for posting works protesting the change in policy (granted, they were adult-oriented works, from what I've been able to gather. It still grates on the sensibilities). Again, the SheezyArt folks have the final say. But I'm irritated, and I feel it's a mistake.
HEY! Long time no see. So when are you going to post some of that AWESOME art? Can't wait to see it and show it off to some friends up here. They are going to LOVE your works.
Sorry, there--I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. I'm Lindsey, Leremy and Kris' roommate. ...I can't remember ever showing you my art, and no one calls me awesome....I'm still learning.
Thanks for the compliment, however accidental....hope you manage to find the person you thought I was.
Um, we have totally met one another. I know you know who Maza is. He was BJ's best friend. And I have seen your art work. We went to a restaurant to eat dinner and Jeremy was looking at it and he showed it to me. Then we all went back to Jenny and Sean's house for drinks and you showed me and Jeremy how good you were at shooting by shooting at some empty cans on Jenny's back porch. You were a little tipsy, but I don't think you were that bad off. LOL. Anyway, it will come back to you. My name is Shane if that helps any. It will come back to you, and if not, just ask BJ about me.
You misunderstand. I have met both you and Maza; I remember as much. My memory for faces is bad, but not *that* bad. And now that you mention it, I *do* remember showing you my sketchbook. I just was a little surprised by your description of it (since I am still learning), that's all.
I don't think I've ever *been* drunk enough to lose my memory *that* completely. I just didn't think I would have stuck in your (and Maza's) mind that firmly after only one or two brief meetings.
You are not giving yourself enough credit. You are great at abstract art, and should do more of it. Normally, I don't remember people unless they affect me in some way. Your art stuck in my head because it was so fresh and inventive.
Anyway, I hope things are going well down there. Laters
Awww. Thank you for the kind words; to be honest, I never really stop drawing.
I was a bit irked at Sheezy for a while after the change in policy, but I know enough folks here that I guess I'll go ahead and start uploading pieces. I get a few up this week, I think.
Things are going well for me here; I'm working full-time on my graduate degree and working part-time on the weekends. I'm enjoying myself thoroughly! I hope everything is going well for you, too.
*grins* I was hoping you wouldn't mind. I stumbled onto your page from striderorion's and was absolutely blown away! Your style rocks in ways I cannot adequately describe.
*Winces!!* I'm so sorry to hear that. I had heard a bit about it, thanks to Livejournal, but was not sure of your current status. I'm glad to hear you got some meds; I hope you feel much better soon!!
A winner I ain't. This was supposed to be a reply to Vitae in my conversation with her, and has since been posted in its proper place. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to delete this thing, so it shall remain as testimony to my attempts to learn how to navigate the SheezyArt site.
I had heard a bit about it, thanks to Livejournal, but was not sure of your current status. I'm glad to hear you got some meds; I hope you feel much better soon!!
Thanks, I feel 100x better then the past 3 days..
