Thread:Red the hedgehog/@comment-4754456-20120418162601

This is obviously for the time you return Red. I just wanna clarify that i was completely shocked at the comments you left before your temporary dismissal from the SFCW site, i honestly couldn't believe what i was reading. I understand entirely that you were frustrated with the new rules that passed about banning recolours but that's no excuse for insults, especially directed towards an admin, i noticed your anger was primarily focused on ivy alone. I'm sure ivy said some things that angered you (idk i didnt wanna read all of the comment, it was just too much) but understand she is dealing with a lot of crap right now from other users with exact same type of complaints and doesn't need this, especially from you (someone who's been here almost since the beginning). Know this shawn, im "just" as responsible for the banning of recolours as she is because i happened to have voted yes on the idea. yeah, i approved of the banning of recolours and its not necessarily because i felt like confiscating all my edited material from my pages, you think i "wanted" to get rid of 70% of my pix, (i didn't), though they were still technically recolours, (to an extent) i worked really hard on them.

I did it because 1. I concur entirely with ivy, recolouring is rather lazy. 2. I believe "every artist" has the potential to design their own material without relying on someone else's design and finally 3. Pink mentioned that there were problems (some even legal) with a few of the recolours, she was getting complaints and copyright conveyances from the original artists and was forced to remove some of the recolours from the wiki, she shouldn't have to deal with that just because people refuse to take their own initiative in art design, its not fair to her or anyone else on this site, i know your mad shawn, and i wasn't happy to see all my work go either but these are the rules we have to follow to keep this site running, otherwise there won't "be" a site anymore.

I dont want our partnership to fall apart just because I happen to disagree with you, i love working with you and i think your a really nice guy, with the exception of your most recent performance before you were temporarily blocked. Your writing skills are phenominal and i've always loved red the hedgehog, i totally support to prospect of him being in love with faith, they (i think) are perfect for each other, and I even went so far as to design their children with my own artistic abilities not relying on screenshots or anything, this was actually one of the many things that inspired me craft my own material. I hope we can still be friends shawn, im not trying to insult or humiliate you, im simply pointing out the "reasons" why we banned recolouring and what you can do differently the next time you become angered at someone, try to understand why, ask questions, and dont lose your temper, i guarantee you'll get much better results, thats what i always do whenever i get mad.
