I found it.  He is a very skilled artist.

Here is the picture that he included he appeal with: [url=http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=907196]Silent Spring

Some highlight of his commentry is in the original appeal and the follow up comments:

...we are all responsible for the look and artistic form of this place...

...be more exigent and critical towards your creations and those post by others.

Maybe some of you think that it is "politically correct" to post lame renders and require only "excellent" ranks and post comments dipping from hollow superlatives.. - Wrong!

 I can not do a nice picture in 15 minutes - nobody can - it is impossible - so I don't post 1000 same lame quality pictures.

...I would like to see here as many followers / competitors as possible - but large majority prefers to set "15 minutes scenes" poorly prepared, poorly rendered - and simply does not want to do improve - this is sad - but they are happy with this - finally why not? - who said that life should be a race, while stagnation is so pleasant state...

I do agree with the idea to push the envelope and improve, but I don't agree with the elitist or exclusionary attitude that this artist presents.  I like the works of those who have truly mastered their skills.  I also like the "flawed" efforts of a beginner who is learning and wants to improve.

We are all always learning how to use our tools better and new techniques.  To exclude artists who have not achieved as certain level of proficiency is wrong.  How many new artists would ever make it to the level of a real master, if he were excluded from participating in the artists communities?
