FR, get out of here. We dont want or need your "customs" and your attitude clogging up our boards like a cancer youve riddled the other otherwise good TF boards with.

............

I think if we band together and make him realize how unwelcome he is here, and not kiss up and lick his butt at every opportunity like foolish, mis-guided sheep we can force him away from here.

What do ya say guys?

:lol I have seen some of your customs man and while they are nice, they are nowhere near as nice FR's. Who are you to say who can post on what board? The last I checked you have been the one trolling this thread with FR hate. Funny you had no problems with him when he complimented your customs on his message board.

Dude, he has NEVER complimented any of my work, EVER.(infact he rarely ever compliments anyone) And if he did, it was only because he didnt realize who he was talking to, as ive had to create alt ID's in some cases just to avoid being harrassed by him.
As for customs this was never about who was better than who...but if anything he is entitled to be "better" than me as he's been doing things for a lot longer than i, had more experiance and actual training and has unlimited resources and funds due to his location in the world.
Theres really no fair way to make a comparison if thats what you must do.

Anyway im not saying any more about it.

If you want to bring it up more than thats fine, but im not having any of it as im tired of this BS, i really am. Im only gonna end up being the one who gets in trouble as im the only one with enough guts to stand up to him and speak the truth and let people know for the benefit of others and the community what he's really like.

**checks my medicine cabinet; and sees only Tylenol

shall we keep going? you were already warned. just because this is the last board on the web allowing you to continue this attitude, doesn't make it ok to keep going dude...
 
I honestly think much of the bad feeling would be avoided if FR dropped the whole holier than thou "I am the God of customising" attitude and stopped putting himself over at every possible opportunity.

At the end of the day FR and indeed other customisers are just jumped up TOY painters and not the eqivalent of a Michaelangelo or Rembrandt or whoever some of them seem to think and artistically they are an even tinier speck than FR claims anyone that makes less money than him are...................100 years from now I doubt any of the major art galleries of the world will be exhibiting repainted toys.

problem is, i've never said i am better than anyone else. I never proclaimed myself the "god of customizing" at all, many are better than I. I am just VERY involved in ALL customizing communities. Heck, since last week, I already helped 4 people on this board with customizing help. Am i proud of what I do? hell yes. Some schmucks and haters will never slow me down or stop me from doing what I do either. that's where there's a problem. yes, I paint TOYs, but I love every minute in my line of work and I am VERY diverse artist with great experience in design, web development, and illustration... so as far as people remembering me in 100 years, perhaps I'll find another avenue to make history in. ;)

So at the end of the day, I look forward to the next day. how can you possible show hate or anger towards someone embracing their job? how many people have jobs or do anything for this world that will be remembered even next week?

Heh, indeed. Well put, and quoted for truth. :banana

Maybe you've not used those exact words but compared to the other "names" in the TF community you seem very quick to constantly remind people of your abilities, often hijack threads with large signatures containing your latest ebay auctions and you don't seem to take any kind of criticism well at all.

There's been numerous occasions at TFW where you went off at someone for little more than saying they didn't like a certain custom and I believe you got banned for a time for going off on a long rant about how much better you were than the "haters" just because you made lots of money, an outburst that was also triggered by someone not liking an aspect of your customising style.

Maybe the way you word some of your posts isn't always intentional but it often comes across like you look down on people that don't make lots of money from customising or don't agree with your style of painting and I noticed this long before I ever knew Dubz so don't think I'm saying this just because he's my friend.

Being proud of what you do is fine, just try and reign in the constant self promotion and be more accepting of the fact that not everyone will like your work and I don't think there'd be any problems.

As for the situation with Dubz, I wish the two of you could just bury the hatchet and start afresh, agree to disagree or whatever as it's not good for this forum to have any kind of feud getting in the way of the discussion.

no man, I won't take advice from you. I don't know who you are, and since I've first seen your name, you've taken stabs at everything I've done, from my work to my ethics. Guess what? I've been doing this 2 years, and I'm constantly booked for more work. that means I am doing something right. You don't have to like me or my work, but don't come around here acting as though you know the paths I should/shouldn't take on message boards.

I started and help maintain an entire message board dedicated to customizers who sell/commission their art. Not only is site one of the most informative and helpful sites on the web, but has contributed lots of money to charity foundations (another one coming next week) Don't argue or judge my ethics. I am not the troll.
 
"Don't come around here etc etc etc"

That's pretty funny coming from someone who's got so little history here, you don't own this board the way you do your own.

My opinion of your work has never been anything personal and shouldn't be taken as such which is how you seem to take any kind of criticism, I just don't like it.

If other people feel different and they obviously do I couldn't care less one way or the other, nor do I care how long you've been doing it or what you've done for charity but as you seem to constantly feel the need to go out of the way to put over how wonderful you are I'll let it slide.

As for your ethics, I guess harassing someone who was merely trying to get established in the hobby to the point where it was severely affecting their health is acceptable behavior is it?

Or do you just consider it protecting business for you and your customising Mafia?

last time I am replying to his hate "mafia" ...

I state facts. not opinions. You must (at some point) realize your opinion..is an opinion. however you (and others it seems) feel it's fact; which is pathetic.

As for "harassing someone who was merely trying to get established in the hobby to the point where it was severely affecting their health is acceptable behavior " - sonny and i started customizing about the same time. it's not my fault he's got ...issues, it's not my fault he's suicided himself away from the hobby. If what you want to force feed yourself to believe is otherwise, then go for it.
 
So the threatening e-mails, messing with his ebay auctions and getting him banned from TF sites for no real reason just happened by accident did they? :rolleyes:

can you read dude? you want to see "threatening emails" shoot me an email directly to [email protected]

I banned no one, I got no one banned. like I said, a lot of people won't tolerate negative attitudes. messing with ebay? no idea what you're talking about, I have over 400 feedback on ebay, and I'm a top rated seller. I wouldn't risk my ebay account over some jealous loon.
 
What was that email stating that you had people looking into getting my ebay account banned about then FR?
(Needless to say nothing ever came of it)
Not that you had a leg to stand on as i had done nothing wrong, but you cant deny it as i have concrete proof thats what you was trying to do.
You even manipulated potential bidders away from one of my auctions, which you also then bragged about in yet another hateful email to me even including what the potential bidder had said in response to you.
I couldnt make up that crap if i tried, so dont claim they arent real emails and it never happened.
 
Last time, if you guys have a problem with eachother take it to PM, all this bickering between you guys doesn't need to be in this thread.
