Eric please do stop being confrontational and provoking situations it’s really not  helping at all . You have a drum to beat and promote your artwork leave it at that if you continue to be rude and make sarcastic comments I will remove the post and ban you from the site . It’s not something I do lightly but will do for the benefit of the forum and to prevent further controversy. 
Paul  (Dixie) Dean on 03/03/2024 10:10:24 At this point, Dixie, you should have locked the thread. Once again the thread of discontent has rumbled on. There are other subjective comments that have been posted. I hope you as a moderator will address these, also, they too give rise to confrontation. Eric may not be the best artist on this site, but be is a very good one. As adults we are more than capable of holding a conversation without the need for getting personal.

You may be right Carol but then it’s alway easy to give advice after the event and suggest other ways of dealing with it .  If the site administrators are ok with how I handled the situation then that’s ok with me . It’s not a decision that was taken lightly I assure you and quite frankly it’s not a comfortable thing to do.

I think the moderators on here do a splendid job.  Especially with some of the rubbish that has been plaguing this site . Thank you.

Yes, so do I, Sylvia.

Paul  (Dixie) Dean on 04/03/2024 18:46:11 These days it seems many people like a good verbal ruck, and to read it here, again, is awful. I came to this confrontation late, so it would be after the event. It didn't take long to see where it should have been nipped in the bud, though. I'll say no more. So, lets shake with a virtual friendly hand and leave it at that. All's well they ends well, as the saying goes.

I ‘ve been away so missed the “ drama” but it always seems to be the same people. It must be hard to make the decision to ban someone so I fully support Paul.

Thank you Marjorie. I think it’s time as Carol said to close this before it gets  into a long discussion once again as to the rights and wrongs . What I would like to make very clear is that my decision was based on the events taking place and  based on Eric’s attitude , aggressive behaviour and not accepting that it was time to stop , it Definitely had nothing to do with his artwork because of it content or because it was digital artwork. As much as I would dislike having to take the same action again I would still do so , to keep this forum and site safe and a fun place to  be on .  Thank you all for your comments and I hope you accept  my reasons for locking this very emotive thread .  Regards and respect to you all .
