Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!
Kevin, again... I understand why you feel the way you do. But you need to understand that MY situation is not Les' situation. We have entirely different lives despite our similar hobby. He has his own set of challenges, as do I. What works for him may not work for me.
Les is more well organized than I have ever been, which is a plus for him. I'm married, which adds to my own problems with allocating times... I can go on and on with this. The point is, Les is not me and I am not Les. I have nothing but respect for what he has been able to do, and I am continuously praising him for his approach to his backlog. I can't do it the same way he is doing it, it's just not feasible for me.
And I didn't just ignore your PM's. I even ignored PM's from my BEST friends on this site. It's not my choice, I just haven't had the time to sort through the mountain of them in my inbox. Again, I have no secretary to do this for me. And I would rather spend my 30 mins to an hour painting a day than doing that. In fact, my responding to your posts has dipped into my paint time.
And as everyone has said... I have responded to you time and time again in this thread. I have given you every scrap of information about my life, the commission, etc. that I can possibly give. I've apologized and given you the full details of what I plan to do. Yet still you come in here and talk smack.
So please, for the love of God... just shut up already. I'm tired of having to continue to beat a dead horse with my constant restating of the facts in this case. I honestly don't know what else you want from me.
And to all of those people who PM you or anyone else who has ever bashed me (because I have heard that song before), seriously... say it to my face if you have the stones. Say it here, be a man (or woman) and face me. You have a problem? State it. I'm tired of these stupid internet wars, it's time to sack up people. I'm a real person with real problems, I'm not some company you can talk ____ about because I didn't do everything perfect for you. I admitted my failings, have stated a plan to right it, what the ____ else do you people want?
Seriously, you have a problem... say something. Let's not play games anymore, I can take it. And if I ever see any of you smack talkers in person, I guarantee you it won't be pleasant. I'm not going to be anybody's doormat any longer. I'm going to share my opinions honestly, because it's better than holding it in and letting it drag me down.
I'm doing everything I can. I will continue to do so until I can't any longer. There is nothing else that can be done.
