I know, they are supose to be protecting the writer and Im sure they are. At the same time though<BR/>I dont want their help or protection and I dont want to be black balled for not submitting to them and doing my own thing. It really pisses me off that I have to pay into some group that I dont even want to be part of, just so I can work and not worry that I'll be blocked to do so if I rub them the wrong way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220067116323045562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-24891130938672711992007-10-21T22:09:00.000-07:002007-10-21T22:09:00.000-07:00Ever notice how dogs bark at each other more furio...Ever notice how dogs bark at each other more furiously when there's a fence between them? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-75354741428170335812007-10-21T21:57:00.000-07:002007-10-21T21:57:00.000-07:00Have fun at the bank!Have fun at the bank!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-61268250504335957582007-10-21T12:35:00.000-07:002007-10-21T12:35:00.000-07:00For the last time...I respect every part of the an...For the last time...I respect every part of the animation process...one is not better or more important than the other. I can see I've wasted my time trying to convince you of the same.
