Toofer: I didn't mean to sound uncaring about the link of a link.. I just meant realistically it is very hard to meet the levels of everyone's tolerance.. and to get upset about another link on a link is ridiculous.. I certainly am not going to chase through web page after web page. It is NOT my responsibility to make sure every young child on the net is free from those kinds of sites.. I myself didn't let my children online to play until they were older.. I grew up without online and did just fine.. I got involved with outdoor activities and I prefered my children learning how to enjoy fresh air .. As far as worrying about a link on a page I recognize and suggest. I cannot always be assured that another link isn't of ill taste.. however, it wasn't the page I had recommended.. nor should I have to take criticism or get abusive words thrown as if I intended to do harm. If someone has a child online I would hope they were monitoring their use since even the pop ups or the spam mail we all seem to get are enough to make anyone cringe due to content. Perhaps instead of focusing on the one who may have placed a link.. we should concentrate on the "Why is this form of advertising allowed to continue anywhere online?"

And your taste in art.. Let me be the judge.. I enjoy all different mediums of art.. especially working with Clay..

Toofer: Good afternoon Toofer.. Please feel free to share some links to Art that you enjoy. And as far as clicking on links of links.. you take your own risk doing so. There is no way of really monitoring that.. other than each individual setting their own level of tolerance on their browsers..

It's a shame that true art is cackled and questioned.. I would suggest anyone who doesn't respect even the works which were linked just a few posts down to stay off this board.. I didn't feel they were in dire need to delete .. I am surprised at some of the views of the higher up (globals)..  I guess I am just getting more and more agitated by their opinions and pushing their beliefs in the public..

I am an Art Major.. and I will challenge any of their arguments.. You can count on it!

nobleheart: Renoir's Classical work I always admired. He captured realness and in an era where women were allowed to be themselves and not conscious of their flaws.. I enjoy drawing landscapes which is as real as I can get.. as for showing society or drawing people I could never seem to do..

Thanks so much for your thoughts and contributions to the Board Steve..
