I don't much care for Den of Demons, I'll be up front about that. I find it to be mostly full of immature people who go out of their way to be as offensive as possible solely because they can be. It's a place to flame, be rude, and outside of giving people a place to do those things I haven't found it to have a lot of value to the doll community.
Yes, I do have a membership there. I never post and seldom lurk but I maintain it so I can make sure people like Roxy and Theodoric aren't bad mouthing this place behind our backs. So far so good.
On the other hand, once up on a time several months ago, a member of this forum linked me to posts made there by another member of this forum. In those posts that person was not just blatantly insulting the beginner level faceup skills of someone here - but even mentioning this forum and the victim by name.
That pisses me off. In fact, it pissed me off so badly I had to get off the computer and go do something else for several hours because my immediate urge was to send a PM to the perpetrator telling them to get the hell off of this forum and never come back.
I didn't do it. I didn't because there is something in this country called Freedom of Speech that (most of the time) allows people to say whatever they want. Because I run this forum I can, if I want, tell people what they may or may not say. This is something I try very very hard to never do unless extreme circumstances call for it. But I can't control what people here do or say outside of this forum about this forum or it's members.
On the other hand, I can ask, and ask politely, that if you feel the need to bash someone from this forum for their lack of artistic skill, bad spelling, bad photos or whatever you perceive to be wrong with them - do it privately in a PM, in an email, maybe on your blog - but not in another doll forum where that person might see it and definitely not in Den of Demons where you are setting them up to be mocked by others. And if you are going to do it have the decency to leave their name, and the name of this forum, out of the public posting. Because anyone who wants to come here just to "check out something bad" we don't really want here at all.
Please don't PM me asking who said what about whom, when, where and why. First off I actually don't remember, at this time the names. I gave myself plenty of time to forget so it wont' do any good. To be honest, I don't recall who alerted me to this either. Those names aren't important anyway - it's the idea, to me at least, of publically backstabbing someone from one forum in another that is the issue I'm raising here.
So, thanks for reading my rant if you did
