I'm glad you love it too!! I like the debate area especially because I get to learn different points of view. I can come across quite blunt sometimes but I hope people realise I play devils advocate a lot....mostly to fully understand someone else's position!
Artists can be both very sensitive and very insensitive. I have seen plenty of artists demanding their work be removed because someone criticised them, and I've also seen artists being completely insensitive to others even though they would not be happy if someone else said the same things to them. I think it's a matter of ego and confidence. I want everyone here to be confident in themselves, their art, and their style even if not everyone likes it (that's life!)....but I want people to remain open and honest with each other and not develop a giant ego that makes them think others are somehow inferior.
In the end we're all people and I think it's important we all treat each other equally and with respect
