If you would, explain this to those that might be interested: what is your purpose coming here? Are you trying to post items that have the intention of ensuring DB stops coming in here? Do you even care if he stops replying to messages and offering his insight?

Apparently, from your own posting, it appears you hold the person this board has been created to celebrate in contempt. Then you openly attack him after you have provoked him and act like you are the one who deserves an apology.

DB is certainly a big boy who can protect himself quite well, however, I think the members here should be quite alarmed at behavior that might run him off.

As for you disbelieving my claims of not being starstruck when I told you I am not (that is another issue of yours - ignoring what other people say about themselves because you apparently know others better than they do themselves) - I have great respect for art forms, because I know hard it is for a person to create great art and I know what we all have here is unique and something that needs to be taken care of (my old man is a wildlife artist - though my own opinion is biased, I think he is one of the most talented people I have known in my life, but the guy has made very little money, probably because of reasons similar to DB himself - he refuses to whore himself out to just make money. Here is a website with two of his pieces
