I think it is time to address the paranoiac delusions. There is nothing wrong with this group except what you perceive it to be for yourself. I suggest you spend more time as a voyeur instead of jumping in and trying to keep up with it as a "quick study" artist. I don't appreciate your demoralization of the Minds Eye membership. Whatever it is attributed to, inferiority complex leading to intimidation, or anything else for that matter. If there is a stench in the room it is coming from your post and I personally think you should remove it. You chose to come here, to be a part of the group. Take the time to assimilate!
