I know I'm starting to get up on a bit of a soap box recently, but I just get so tired of people getting so bullied by haters around here. I'm not a social network kind of person (I never check my MySpace, and I don't even have a Facebook), so when by brother first told me about DeviantArt, I had never heard of anything like it. Art is my passion in life - be it drawing, painting, having fun with my tablet, writing fanfiction, or whatever. It's such a freeing and uplifting thing. And when I found out that there is a place where everyone can get together to express their love of art - of any kind of art - It sounded like a dream.

Since joining the DeviantArt family, I have met some wonderful, talented, imaginative people. I have also met some kind, generous, and caring people. Watchers - I love each and every one of you, and I thank you for thinking I am worthy of your interest. To those whom I am watching - I love seeing your amazing artwork. Some of you are less experienced than others, and some of you have to work harder to produce a good piece of artwork, but it has been a real joy to watch you grow as artists. DeviantArt has been an amazing experience for me, and I hope it is something I will be a part of for the rest of my life.

That's why it tears me apart to see people on here who have nothing better to do than post hateful comments about artwork that doesn't measure up to their standards, or happens to portray a view different from their own. Critique is one thing. I'm fine with that - we need insightful and patient critique. It helps us grow and makes us better artists. But dissing someone's work just for the sake of dissing it only causes hurt feelings.

I've been extremely lucky. So far, I haven't had any haters to speak of. But it really raises my ire when I see it happening to someone else. Flamers and trolls, if you don't like someone's art, just leave it alone. Nobody's making you look at it.

To artists who are always being flamed, this stamp is for you, my dear friends. If someone doesn't have enough culture to be civilized in their comments, then they're not worth your time.

Feel free to use this stamp however you like. Just be sure to credit me where appropriate.

Also, a special thank-you to $zilla774 for making such a great template for me to use.

If you don't want me to say thank you, then don't fave it. If you accuse me of not looking at your profile, I will turn right around and accuse you of not reading the artist comments.
