Quite frankly, I think the mods are slacking off a little. Probably because some people are already shaky about some of the interventions of late...
I was expecting this thread to either be closed when I came back from my sleep cycle, or at the very least moved to the Art section which would be the only place this kind of thread would belong in this board... It's not because someone is "VIP" (which doesn't mean much) or that a member is a "senior member" that the rules should bend around them.
As for flaming... Who's flaming here? Me and BP had a "constructive discution" about the "art" posted in the first three posts of this thread, even though he didn't managed to "persuade" me into his position...
