I've been experiencing cyber-bullying by stealth and innuendo. It helped to find this, via WIKI.."Further studies have shown that envy and resentment may be motives for bullying. Research on the self-esteem of bullies has produced equivocal results. While some bullies are arrogant and narcissistic, others can use bullying as a tool to conceal shame or anxiety or to boost self esteem: by demeaning others, the abuser him/herself feels empowered."I will ignore,it works.

And here's to POSITIVITY, in the form of a thought on toxicity.....best to ignore toxicity obviously.!!!...the quote:::"When you do not know how to focus your thoughts effectively, they can become scattered, miscellaneous, and fixated on "stuff"-negative notions, toxic relationships, and situations from the past. Darren L. Johnson " FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE, yes! Focus your thoughts on the positive, yes..! Avoid toxicity, yes !!!

My test for fairness in faa contests has proven two things...having f/b friends vote in faa/only contests does influence wins and is unfair to non-f/b members, and, much to my surprise, one contest afforded me the trifecta of win,place,show...which I announced, to the consternation of "many" , I am told, so now we can only announce in the new thread for one and all..

A Graceful Margin : A damage done to the Soul, even if that injury is a malicious and willful one, need not be permanent; yes, the scar is there, but all wounds, all scars, respond to the balm of love, but only if that love embraces the damage, and does not seek to deny its very real place in the experience of another, because to deny and look away is itself a kind of theft. .

It's been six months of calm from the storms, but now there is a new cloud on the horizon..........zealous,negative,narrow-minded,talentless to boot. All talk from attention-seeking unnatural naturals,and innuendo and stirring appear again,to raise their ugly skeletal heads.

Thank you, Tony.....I was beginning to think I'm the next target here from those who know, but - what they know, I don't know.., but they're very quick to judge..............quote"Vivian, your not gullible, you simply have a pure heart. To the pure, all things are pure." endquote

After a recent 'dressing down' from this contributor, I was happy to find this from that same person, as posted previously in a thread:::::""Vivian... I agree with you. And as a Christian I realize that you have stated many times over that you are an unbeliever. I say that just to set the premise for the conversation... not in any way a judgement towards you. Hey... two opposing beliefs can walk together if they so desire... and still keep some integrity.""

"Treescape Sketch"....t/y:"Your drawings are so amazing. It just astounds me that so much can be said in such a simple medium with such an economy of range, that black and white can have so much more impact than color. Your work is so alive. You are the leader, the inspiration. You should be in the Rothschild's collection, the Private Collection that art history books photograph. You should send them something. Art students need to see these drawings. "

From Squidoo. "What's really exciting about Fine Art America's story is that the company earned $1 million in revenue in 2009. By 2011, that number had grown to $5 million. Projected revenue for 2012 is $15 million. And Broihier only has two people on payroll besides himself. By March 2012, Fine Art America was processing 10,000 uploads per day from close to 100,000 artists - a number that grows by 150 to 300 daily - and hundreds of thousands of customers."

"Turneresque atmospheric, Hopperistic architectural with tangible hints & tints of Rothko, what a pleasure! - Finally it seems that I have a slice of time to myself Vivian & my visit here has been such a refreshing one! I've spent the day encumbered by the minutia of re-location whilst slogging through the dogging viscosity of last-minute silicone molding - truly it is a pleasure to end up at your creative doorstep! Your abstract gallery is so welcoming and visually lush!

I'm sick of self=indulgent non=scholars using this place to vent their freedom issues without any respect for the tos they signed. When the topics here go forward in stature of opinion about Art, sharing Art, sharing use of this place,helping each other, then I'll be back.am no longer interested in 'everyman's" cry- freedom on a private, business site. and the constant persistent posting against the messenger just shows the bullying for what it is.
