I have fallen way behind in viewing an commenting on pictures. So I found some time to go through some of the ebots. (I hate to say it but I am way behind here at PF too. :oops: ) While I was dealing with some of the ebots, I noticed the same pattern of comments made by this person one various, relativly new artist who I feel show much talent but are still developing their techinques and learning how to use their tools. In each case the comment begins with noticing a flaw and then escalates. I saw only one positive comment posted by him and that was a comment to a picture by one of the established masters. It seems that he demands his idea of perfection in all works posted. I got curious about his work, and so did my Mom. She said, let's see if he can do better. I found nothing by him, just an empty homepage--that fits the pattern that I have seen by others doing the same. It seems based on who he has already targeted, that he finds his targets by following comment links and perhaps favorites list links. So, by commenting to several of his targeted artists I have become a potiential target and through me, those who have commented on my works or are in my lists. That includes members of PF who have uploaded their works over there. What I am going to send him by IM is, as an initial contact, if and when he targets me: [quote] I have seen your comments on the works of multiple talented artists. You sound like you have a good eye for art and discovering the flaws contained in their works of art. I would appreciate if you would share with us examples of your superior art works. That would help to establish your credibility. At the moment you lack credibility because of the condition of your homepage and your lack of gallery uploads, free item contributions, or merchant status, appears to be completely unfounded. [/quote] I am curious if the self-doubt that he is trying to inflict on others, could be reflected back to him. Can you believe it, it took three edits to get this posting the read this way. ;-) Almost four, I spotted another typo just before re-submitting Pangor
