I made sure to go through all the community guidelines thoroughly before I even submitted my very first post back when I registered. Those rules are there for a reason, after all. Furthermore, since the moderators have access to everyone's IP addresses, I honestly can't quite wrap my head around how you all manage to act like such an aggressive mobbing group, constantly ganging up on anyone whose posts you happen to dislike or whoever isn't part of your inner circle. Anyway, I'll see myself out.
just a little thought 🙂

on a more serious note, I believe our community guidelines actually prohibit starting threads specifically about individual members, so I’d like to kindly ask the moderators to keep an eye on that and ensure we're all staying within the rules. That's all from me.
casualharbor9, I honestly feel like Lisa Hernandez3 already laid out the facts so clearly that there isn't much left for me to add, but I'll give it a shot anyway... You’ve basically built this whole narrative where I'm some kind of clone or a troll who's "in on the joke," even though Death-of-Art actually clarified the entire context in her very first post. To be perfectly honest, I’m not quite sure what sparked this reaction from you; was it just because I've been a member since November 2008 but haven't been super active with only eight posts, or perhaps because I didn't jump in to defend that particular user? casualharbor9, instead of jumping to these sweeping conclusions, you might have found it more helpful to check in with the moderators on the forum boards before making such broad accusations. If you really can't stand a specific post, the best move is simply to report it. That's what the moderators are there for—to make the final call. Besides, shouldn't everyone, regardless of their post count, have the right to share their thoughts?
Also, I really don't see how this qualifies as trolling rather than just expressing an opinion. Since I tend to spend much more time reading than actually typing, I've had plenty of opportunities to observe various users and get a general sense of the community vibe. I'll concede that using the term "groupies" might have been unnecessary, but in my humble opinion, calling someone the "star of the show" was just a way to suggest they enjoy being the center of attention without having to spell it out. Ultimately, I get the feeling your actual grievance stems from that comment about the groupies; it seems like you took offense, especially since you were the one who originally pointed out the sharp language, even though I certainly didn't mean any harm or intend to be insulting. Best regards.
