Bash: You should know by now, people are people, good, bad, ugly, perfectly wonderful....

To interact with everyone, on their level, and not ruffle a few feathers only happens,
in a perfect world!

Your world is different from mine just like it is from everybody else's, but WE are all joined by a common thread, this one and several others!
Also our love of this place, my second, possible third home, WINCUSTOMIZE!



I'll always be a fan of yours!

Whipped cream & custard pies all around. If we're going to have a free-for-all, it's time to get serious about it... Where's my spoon, anyway?

Well..looked to me that a post was in response to the subject matter..not the poster. (Bash) Yet was followed by " leave the kid alone" Its seems your only allowed to comment as long as you agree or sing " Kumbaya " lets all hold hands. Your right ..he has a right to post but we all have a right to respond without being lynched. Which seems to be the trend these days.

i was responding to the posts abt another "group hug puke" thread and the such.. im sorry if i dont care for peeps seeming to think its their duty to crap on anothers happyness...or lemme guess ya dint see those parts of the posts ? nice selective reading ... . i came what i saw to the defence of a kid being bashed for trying to be a positive influence in the community......


as for the kids parents wishes .. this is the first ive heard of any of that ....

Apocalypse_67: Becuase he makes people encorage themselves when he introduces contests. (there also somebody else helping him but i forgot who so can you please tell me your name on this thread)

There is actually quite a list to go along with me. Starting with the Admins for their help approving the skins in competition and the group of sponsors that have donated the prizes (Ama, Fairry, BX, Bichur, Jafo, Mr X, Bones, Brewman and Hus) and last but not least, T-Man for sorting out the mess after each contest.

But the collective work of everyone that helps and supports this community is what we really need to thanks.

[Cynder-Elluh] Bash: You should know by now, people are people, good, bad, ugly, perfectly wonderful.... To interact with everyone, on their level, and not ruffle a few feathers only happens, in a perfect world!

Thank you for summing it up so well....the thing is, when we respond negatively to having our feathers ruffled, showing anger and contempt for others, we only exacerbate the problem.

I like Bash's idea of showing support for the site and its contributors. Okay, so he didn't name everyone, how many of us could, but Bash is trying to show his appreciation. There's nothing wrong with that, which is why I support him in this. So what if there are no brownie points for a suck up (which it isn't), what harm is Bash doing...to anyone? His thread invites us to make similar comments of support.....not to BASH him for his!

Another issue of comment/debate is Bash's parents views on his coming here....which needs to be resolved between them, not us. If Bash really, really wants to come here, he's going to, with or without our encouragement! Our concerns about his school work and etc, are better served through positive encouragement to attend to his priorities first, etc....rather than trying to discourage him by making him feel unwelcomed, unwanted and unliked. Apart from it being a negative approach, why risk giving the kid an inferiority complex he could carry for years...if not the rest of his life.

It comes down to the old saying....tell someone they're stupid often enough, and they'll end up believing it.

Don't say it that! Remember no matter how it comes out, the wrong guy usually wins.

Bash, thanks for starting this thread. It's nice to show your appreciation for the work others do for the simple reason that others may use and enjoy them. You are learning a life lesson here, that even when you do something 100% well intentioned, others will see it as something entirely different. That's how life is, unfortunately, but you gotta roll with the punches. Most of us see your real intentions here, and you know your real intentions as well. That's all that matters. Don't stop being nice just becuase some others think your being a butt kisser.

And as far as some of the skinners I'd like to thank...

Tiggz, DanilloOc, Treetog... you guys got me started on this thing... your work is amazing...

Sleeping Dragon, you are the most respected person on this site, because you are ALWAYS true to yourself, regardless...

Brad and Jafo, thanks for helping me see the error of my ways a few months back...

Kenwas, Apoc_67, CausticFX and Xoroth.. thanks for 99% of the walls I use.

And of course there are HUNDREDS of others that are amazing skinners, and great folks! Don't think just because I didn't list you, that I don't appreciate you...

(there... was that pukey enough for all you downers?)
