Internet is so fantastic.

We can find a lot of people, meet them depending of our hobbies / our passion / our work... However, sometimes, you can find people whom are... rather awkward... sometimes manipulative, sometimes mean...

Today, I talked for the 100th time to an artist... I won't say his name because of the rules on some websites I will post this journal... and because I don't find it necessary, but he is in an important amount of "artists beware" list AND I met him (online, not in real life) some years ago.

And then, I needed to express a thought.

Something which is ABSOLUTELY obvious for me, but for this artist and for some "trolls" I met before online, it is apparently fully INSANE to think about it.

1st:
Yes, you can hate some artists, because there was a bad communication / a difference of opinion / etc...
HOWEVER, going to customers who paid these artists just to insult the artist commissioned by saying things like : "This artist is a b*tch" or "This artist do this only for the money and don't care about you"... THIS... is WRONG!!!!!!!
You have a bad experience with an artist? Then, block him, ignore his / her artworks posted elsewhere AND if the experience is so bad that it is fully unprofessionnal and unacceptable, then, ask an opinion on artist beware websites and if they confirm this is not acceptable, post a story with screenshots on the artist beware websites in question. Don't worry, a lot of customers knows about artists beware websites. If you don't know, ask.

2nd:
This one made my blood boil. Seriously. And it happened just today with the artist I'm talking about. It is totally OBVIOUS, but... visibly not for everyone:
If you learnt an artist (or any other person) you hated died... Do - not - spit - on - their - grave.
Do not insult them. Especially in front of his / her friends / family.
This is... UNACCEPTABLE!

-> "" Yeah, but but... I have the right to do it! I can express myself and... and... you don’t know my life and what I have to deal with to begin with! "" would answer you the troll with a childish voice.

Indeed, but that's precisely because we don't know your life that your insults are unacceptable and not receivable. And nobody will care about your life. You have to be the bigger guy, grow up, and get yourself a better life. Nobody can anything for you.

And plus, what is this mediocre excuse? "" I have the right to do it? "" Well, you have the right to be an bad person indeed, but... how can I say it?... Yes, this is ethically wrong!

When anyone says "I have the right to do it!", this person must make the difference between:

• The laws allow me to do it.
• A responsible party gave me the right to do it. and
• This is acceptable in the society to act this way.

So, do you have the right to do it? Well:

• Yes
• There's no responsible party other than you, so yes.
• And... well... NO you absolutely DON'T!

So... from what happened just today, I needed to post this journal (it really feels good to release what I have on the heart).

But I also needed to warn you. The artist in question is known for lying and being manipulative. So, if something is posted against me, please, tell me or, better, report him. If someone tells you: "I really wish I could show you all what kind of a person he really is.", something like that, ask him for evidence. "I" have screenshots against him, to proove of his bad behaviour. He has nothing because I never was aggressive to him. I maybe was sometimes clumsy in what I said, or at the border, but I NEVER acted bad.

By the way, this rule is valid for everyone. Never trust someone who said "this artist / man is sh*t / a liar / a b*tch / etc..." as long as you don't have a proof of it. Always be wary! Even if this person is me. I won't say that you can trust me because I posted this journal to warn you of some bad and manipulative behaviours. But at least, on this journal, I don't tell the name of the artist in question. And if you figure out who it is, I can proove I'm not the one who is wrong / lying.

By the way, if you figure out who I'm talking about it, DO NOT post his name in the comments. THANK'S!

PS: If this journal doesn't respect the rules of this website, please, tell me in comment and I'll edit / delete it.

End of the story.
