Reconciliation; If you will

Some of you may remember these posts of mine, and most importantly, their comments:

Larafairie - What?

And

Larafairie - What? (Continued)

I had my fun with both, I attracted a lot of people to display their opinions, and of course, their criticism.

In the past two or three days I have come to a conclusion (In co-operation with a book that shall not be named) that it is not the way to go about things, criticising other peoples work, and their mistakes, or even successes.

This is not about jealousy - I am not even remotely linked to the same field of art as her (However you see it, be that photo manipulation or photographer - I don't care anymore), so there is nothing for me to be jealous of. I get my feeling of importance, my soul food if you will, from modifying games consoles and computers - This could not be more different to photography. (If you argue, well. You might need help.).

As such, I am taking down these two blogs, because it is unfair to everyone involved (I criticised commenter's and Lara herself, in the course of some of my replies to comments, and our little chat via notes (As fun as it was)). I know it's what she wants, and I'm pretty sure that while this blog is read by few, and enjoyed by fewer, it will serve better to remove such forward criticisms of one individual and their work.

It was fun while it lasted, but it is not in anyones best interests to let this obvious flaming go on anymore.

At least you're being a man about it and not making it petty.

I can't stand people when they sit there and stand by what they said even if they were in the wrong and can't even muster up an apology. You don't even have to be friends, just have to respect people.

I'm proud of you, Terry.
