[FusionAdmin] Artwork Selection

[Will Farrington]

While the lack of respect that several people address you with is
entirely uncalled for, I really dislike the way dramatics have invaded
upon a mailing list of people who I assumed were mature enough to know
when to either just not say anything if they can't say something
positive or when to just ignore someone.

No one's asking that everyone on this mailing list like one another -
but is it so much to ask that everyone respect each other, or at least
pretend to respect one another?
