Necessary Steps

Today, my grandmother would have been 80 years old.
I had the privilege of being very close with my grandmother and I will forever remember her as an extremely strong, independent and vibrant woman.
However, I also remember the cancer and her long and arduous battle. &

@02:43Its very creative to use "Creativity" as an outlet to social pain. I think it's brilliant though, and I like to think that I do that everyday.

Thank you. You really did upset me so I greatly appreciate your setting the record straight. It upset me because I don't feel I did anything wrong. The reason is that I don't believe any of us should sit back and watch someone being bullied any more than I'd sit back and watch someone beating a dog. And in this case, the bullying was done at the very highest level.

Angelo could have easily ignored Thaddeus's comment. No matter what people write to Angelo, whether it's nice or neutral or giving criticism, Angelo ignores 99.9% of the comments, yet he chose to publicly chastise Thaddeus. I don't know Thaddeus but I checked out his profile and he had information there (which was there before Angelo chastised him) regarding why he's using that avatar. I doubt Angelo took the time to do what I did.

I don't know how anyone can watch the video, read Angelo's comments and not be shocked. In addition, the way I was raised and the way businesses treat customers in the real world is by following the motto: "The customer is always right." That's generally the first thing an employee is taught.

Also, I think it's unconscionable for the person in charge of this site to try to silence its members/customers and to tell its customers what kind of avatar they should have, especially when this site is infamous for its x-rated smut, nude children in sexual positions and situations, extreme and brutal sexual fantasies, including torture and death, and worse.

Once in awhile, RARELY, but once in awhile Angelo and his staff do listen to us. But even if they didn't, I don't feel as a human being that I should stand idly by when I see people suffering at their hands. And a lot of people are---most of which have left this site.

Best wishes to you.

As we commemorate Spirit Day, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on the bullying epidemic that's been receiving a lot of attention in recent weeks. I think you'll agree with my sentiments about the deviantART community being diverse and wonderful and...just the way we like it!

Keep up the good work and keep channeling emotions into your creations.

And you can't tell, but I'm wearing a purple shirt

@03:19That is true man.
It is sad how people takes attacks on them and just feed into it.

Though many people does try to turn it around like me. All of last year there were these three people always trying to make me look like scum with no future, but instead of hiding away, I used it to motivate my self to become a better person.
