*nods* You're probably right, but I think they should look or not look after seeing something "upsetting" once. I mean why keep at it & then why brag about turning all that art in? Seriously I've know there's galleries over at Da that I don't want to browse because I don't feel like looking at nekkid women nor do i want see nekkid men 7 women doing things with stuff that i had no idea that could be used that way. ^^; Do I report it because it disgusts me? No, because I chose not to look at it. I know it's there because I had things set so i could view & post under a mature filter and I could see it on the "what's new" page.
They are actually hurting themselves in the long run by being so narrow-minded & insisting on censorship. One day they'll wake up & want to post something ecchi , only to find they have no outlet for it, because everything's censored. Which is a sad place to live in if you ask me.
*nods* I hear you. A part of me wants to go back & post stuff like that & really get banned! *laughs* Only I won't because my brother's over there & I don't want him getting banned because of me. (IP address would be the same) So i left, continued in my own little world & basically did what i wanted to PLEASE myself.

Well, I've built a nice little account over there, so I'm not really keen on acting out on my "so you think that's bad?" impulses.
You're right though, bragging about impeding someone else's creativity is just low. I can see it happening though. A week or so ago on dA, I had someone come along critiquing a picture. They apparently liked it, but had a few opinions on execution and technique. I explained why I did what I did and also where it needed improvements and thanked them for the comment. They were surprised that I accepted critiques so easily and told me about other artists who reject anyone else's opinions about their art and only wanted glowing responses. I explained that no one grows as an artist if they don't listen to people at least a little bit when it comes to constructive criticism. Apparently this was the okay for this person to unleash a barrage of critiques on my other art and I had to tell them to stop for the sake of my self-esteem (and my lowering opinion of their opinions). They stopped, but went into this long discussion about how they had no self-esteem and hated everything and everyone.
I can't help, but think that these pathetic trolls are from the same tree. They hate everything and everyone in their own teenage angsting lives and so they take it out on others, because everyone should feel as crappy as they do.

Oh yeah. The sad thing is is happens all the time. *sighs* That's nasty what they did though. I had someone complain over at DA that all my cged stuff was "bad" because i failed to have a black outline around everything and that i should stop doing it because I obviously can't do it correctly. WTF? So I can see the troll feeling the need to vent on your work, because it's better than anything they could do. ( times out of 10 those who are the nastiest, have NOTHING to back their words up with, nor do i think they realize how disheartening their harshness is. But in your case, they're being nasty because their lives are miserable is NO excuse!! That's just plain WRONG in 10 foot high capital letters!!
It's quite possible and also for the first time they've reached celebrity status. Think about it, they had people supporting their cause, without knowing the facts. Urd-chan has spam on her front page over at DA about pedophilia, why? because she had a journal complaining DA removed a mildly suggestive pic she did of Inuyasha & Kagome. You wouldn't believe what these trolls have called her in the forums. I got so mad I emailed DA saying I wasn't returning because they are now letting members bash each other without doing anything about it. And there's pages of that crap so it wasn't like a random comment. It's really terrible how bad it got and all because someone was having a bad day & decided to take it out on some innocent bystander. I'm just sorry, you had to deal with some of it yourself. It's not right. If you feel bad, talk to your friends and get support from them in a good way, not a bad way by spreading unhappiness. *sighs* I could rant all day about this, but I don't want to clutter up your pic with my venting. Sorry! ^^;
