So... FINALLY I'm posting again!

Sorry about the delay ... business and everything else kept me from updating. On the plus side, there are many many lovely images by *dwingephotography and ~2bitphoto to come!

One thing though ... I need to rant.

What is it with people lately ASKING for watches? I've gotten several "Thanks for the watch!" when I've been no where NEAR their pages, and one flat out "Hey, how about a watch?"

It's flat out rude. I choose who I watch, not the other way around. I'm not the type to instantly return a watch if someone watches me ... it's not a game of who can have the most "friends." If that offends some, sorry, but it's how I play. If I'm interested in your work, I'll add you. But at the same time, no matter how wonderful of an artist you are ... ASKING me to watch your page (and you're not a personal friend that is) will just turn me off to you.

And while I'm ranting...

There have been a positive GLUT of journals lately detailing the lengths people go to in disrespect. Let me add mine.

Do not tell me how horny I make you. Do not tell me what you want to do to me sexually. Do not tell me you have a "thing" for "my type." Do not tell me you're masturbating to my images.

It puts a bad BAD taste in my mouth about the entire community, which I know is unfair. As a result, I'm not giving warning anymore. I'm just blocking flat out, first time. No more requests to stop, just blocking. That way I can keep the wonderful artists and art fans ... and get rid of those that cross the line ... much much cleanly and simply.

Also ... if I do not personally know you or haven't conversed with you before, please don't call me by my real name. I understand it's right here on the page, and that it's an odd request. But it feels incredibly intrusive when someone I don't know acts like they do ... especially when my personal and professional friends don't call me by it. Call me crazy for this one, but it drives me NUTS.
