I am completely disappointed in this thread!
To be perfectly honest I am finding that the behaviour of Ms Melnick is not following the rules of the forum.
Other members of this site have received a censure from Chern An for less.
I am also disappointed that there are members of the forums who have decided to play along with her and to my point of view are acting like a group of school yards bullies ganging up on the new kid in the class.
While I may have had some sympathy for her situation regarding the Chick Challenge, what sympathy I did have has been eroded by what I see as the petulant behaviour of a Prima Donna.
I would like to say that while she is a highly talented painter, her behaviour is not in the best interests of Coolminiornot, and had those comments and \"Cartoons\" been directed at me I would have not regarded then as anything other than insulting.
Jason hosts the Chick Challenge and came onto CMON to explain the \"DOWNTIME\" for the site. He did not need to receive the treatment that he was subjected to.
As a moderator, I must apologise for not being available this past weekend when I would have dealt with this earlier.
I have read this thread and must thank those people who have tried to point out the breaches of the rules that have occurred. I also wish to thank the other commentors who have tried to point out the unacceptable behaviour of Ms Melnick.
Directly to Alexi_Z:
If you cannot follow the rules regarding behaviour on the forums of this site, then perhaps you should find an alternative venue.
