[QUOTE="caudor, post: 912078, member: 8367"] This may come across as a little cheesy, but I'm being honest so what the heck. I sensed from your response that you might have felt a sting when reading some of the posts here, and even though some were certainly out of line (hence the admin response), it appears you reached the conclusion that this thread was all about bashing your work or your efforts. I admit that my thin-skinned self would have to pause a time or two to refocus. However, if you go back to re-read some posts, you may notice that many of them (including mine) are actually positive. If you focus only on what is brown, without also soaking in the green, the experience you take away will only be brown. Please don't just take away the brown from us. In contrast to your opening line, please also know that you and your staff are objects of respect and admiration. Why? Because at least from where I'm sitting, you folks have managed to accomplish things that some of us can only aspire to do...things like becoming the President of a successful publisher, or becoming a published author or artist or editor. On top of that, your work is excellent...even if you can't please everyone. Hey, not even the most powerful deities of our fantasy worlds manage to win over everyone. Since my wisdom is only about a 5, I probably should not be spewing advice. Nevertheless, I do hope you will see there is actually some green tucked in around those brown spots. [/QUOTE]
